Welcome to the official website of Philipp Röttgers.
I am a historian, author, literary agent and cultural communicator whose work bridges history, literature, music and public engagement. Through books, lectures, research projects and cultural initiatives, I aim to make complex historical and cultural topics accessible to a wider audience.
My areas of expertise include Victorian London, Jack the Ripper, Sherlock Holmes, progressive rock, Genesis, Phil Collins, publishing and literary representation. I am also the founder of the literary agency Opera Scriptorium and the creator of London Beyond Time and Place, a platform dedicated to exploring the history and culture of London.
