K. von (Kurt) Albrecht
Best known today for the adventurous tale Avonturen aan gene zijde van den Evenaar, this elusive writer is remembered more through the story than through a well-documented life. The surviving record points to a German-language author whose work reached Dutch readers in translation and carried them into the wide landscapes of Patagonia.

About the author
Very little biographical information about this author could be confirmed from reliable sources available online. Project Gutenberg identifies K. von (Kurt) Albrecht as Kurt von Albrecht and lists Avonturen aan gene zijde van den Evenaar as the work associated with that name.
The Dutch edition available through Project Gutenberg names Walter Zweigle as illustrator and states that the book was translated into Dutch by Van Heuvelinck, the pseudonym of Lucretia Jacoba Baart. The opening chapters place the action in Patagonia, giving the book the feel of a far-traveling adventure story aimed at readers who enjoy danger, distance, and discovery.
Because solid biographical details about Kurt von Albrecht are scarce, it is safest to remember this author through the surviving work itself: a vivid adventure narrative that continued to circulate across languages and eventually found new life in the public domain.
