Carl Levin Klopp (so the spelling in the baptism entry) was born in Bevensen on July 23, 1804 during the French period . baptized as the son of mill writer Johann Friedrich Klopp and his wife Charlotte Christiane Lindemann. After leaving school, he completed his studies in Göttingen at the university there . In the royal seat of the Kingdom of Hanover, he first worked at the Royal Court School , before he was active as "pastor adjunctus" at the Neustädter Hof- und Stadtkirche St. Johannis in the Hanoverian district of Calenberger Neustadt from 1833 - in addition to his work as court chaplain of the castle church , as the second preacher next to the General and Special Superintendent Senior Consistorial Councilor Johann Conrad Achaz Holscher .

Carl Levin Clop was a member and from 1833 to 1834 substitute speaker and from 1834 to 1840 deputy lodge master of the St. Johannis Lodge zur Ceder in Hanover. He wrote that then all board boxes sung "Cederlied" To Heaven wants the mason building stand out , he created before the year 1835th In the same lodge in 1838 he gave his 24-page pamphlet Vote on the admission of Jews to the Masons' Union , to which Wilhelm Blumenhagen in the same year wrote Where is the place of Freemasonry in mankind? took a liberal opposing position. Klop's writing can be found today in the library of the German Freemason Museum in Bayreuth, the writing and the answer from Blumenhagen were taken up by the historian Stefan-Ludwig Hoffmann in publications on Masonic lodges in the 19th century.

On October 1, 1839, Carl Klop took up the post of pastor of the St. Marien garden church . He died shortly afterwards at the age of 35. Klop's lodge brother Georg Philipp Holscher gave a funeral speech in 1840. Klop's lodge brothers from the Masonic Lodge "Zur Ceder" placed a three-sided obelisk as a tomb for him in the garden cemetery in Hanover , the shape and symbolism of which corresponds entirely to the Masonic tradition of the enlightened society of the 18th century. The historian Hinrich Hesse later recorded the inscription on the memorial as follows: “Your brother Pastor Carl Klop geb. on July 22nd, 1805, died on April 25th, 1840 his brothers of the Lodge at Ceder set this monument as an earthly symbol of the most loyal love and true veneration. "
