Ernst Hilmar was an Austrian librarian, editor, and musicologist.rom 1975 to 1994, he was head of the music division of the Vienna City and State Library. Owing to various shady events in connection with holdings that had disappeared from this collection, Hilmar was forced to retire from this position in 1994.Since 1987, he was also head of the Internationales Franz-Schubert-Institut (IFSI) in Vienna and editor of the scholarly journal Schubert durch die Brille (1988–2003), "tirelessly edited since its inception by Ernst Hilmar, […] quickly became the leading arena for the dissemination of Schubert research, news, and events." (Music & Letters, 2002) Due to several violations of the society's regulations he was removed from his position in 2001 and only continued to work as editor of the IFSI's journal. In 2005 Hilmar's successors had to disband the IFSI, because the publisher of Schubert durch die Brille (Hans Schneider) demanded the debts to be paid back that Hilmar had amassed during his activity as editor.Hilmar's publications include books on Franz Schubert, Hugo Wolf, Johann Strauss, Second Viennese School and many contributions to symposia and dictionaries.
