Christian Wilhelm Poeppelmann
Christian Wilhelm Pöppelmann (born May 12, 1701 in Dresden ; † January 25, 1782 in Bautzen ) was a German lawyer and civil servant who worked as the imperial postmaster in Dresden and Bautzen.
Life
Christian Wilhelm Pöppelmann was the youngest son of the royal Polish and electoral Saxon master builder Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann (1662–1736) and his first wife Catharina Margarethe Stumpf († 1712 in Dresden), who came from a Dutch patrician family. His older brothers were the court painter Johann Adolph Pöppelmann (1694–1773) and the builder Carl Friedrich Pöppelmann (1696 / 97–1750).
After attending the prince's school Sankt Afra in Meißen for six years and then attending the prince's school Sankt Augustin in Grimma for one year , Pöppelmann began studying law at the universities in Leipzig and Wittenberg in 1720 . He received his doctorate in law in Wittenberg (Dr. jur.) And worked there for a time as a respondent before returning to Dresden, where he worked from 1723 to 1727 as an employee of a law firm. From 1727 to 1729 he held the office of electoral vice district administrator in Meißen.
In 1729 Christian Wilhelm Pöppelmann was appointed senior postmaster to Dresden. Two years later he was involved in an intrigue of the later Count Heinrich von Brühl (1700–1763), which led to the overthrow of the finance minister who controlled letters, Carl Heinrich von Hoym (1694–1736). In 1734 Pöppelmann was appointed Chief Postmaster for Upper Lusatia, which is why he moved to Bautzen. There he obtained the rank of senior lawyer in 1741. During the Seven Years' War from 1756 to 1763 he managed to keep the postal traffic in his area of responsibility. In 1781 the already ailing Pöppelmann was released from his duties as Chief Postmaster for Upper Lusatia. He died a little later and was buried on January 28, 1782 in the Bautzen cemetery.

On February 2, 1726, Christian Wilhelm Pöppelmann and Johanna Salomé Busse (* around 1710; † December 13, 1754 in Bautzen), the only daughter of the Electoral General Staff Secretary Busse, married in Dresden. After the death of his wife, Pöppelmann lived as a widower. The couple had 22 children, of whom only two sons and two daughters survived their father.
