Kellerhoff was born in 1971 in Stuttgart, Germany. He was educated at the Free University of Berlin and the Berlin School of Journalism . Since 2003, Kellerhoff has been the Chief Editor of Contemporary and Cultural History at Die Welt. Prior to Die Welt, he worked at the Berliner Morgenpost and Berliner Zeitung.[1]
Kellerhoff has published more than twenty book titles during his career. Among his works is a recent history of the Nazi Party, published in 2017 as Die NSDAP: eine Partei und ihre Mitglieder ("The NSDAP: A Party and its Members"). Among other sources, Kellerhoff utilised the research conducted by American sociologist Theodore Abel. While in Germany on a research project in 1934, Abel launched a competition in cooperation with the Nazi Party to collect life stories of members who had joined the party prior to 1933. He collected 683 biographical sketches, which formed the basis of his report How Hitler Came to Power.[2]
