Eberhard Gaupp

Eberhard Gaupp (born June 12, 1734 in Schaffhausen ; † February 18, 1796 there ) was a Swiss businessman .

Life

Eberhard Gaupp was the son of the merchant Johann Jacob Gaupp (1713–1779), whose family came from Lindau on Lake Constance and was naturalized in Schaffhausen in 1730.

He was successful in both the cloth and salt trade and was considered a respected personality with lively literary interests and a pronounced religious need; he was also a close friend of the reformed pastor Johann Kaspar Lavater . He maintained a wide range of contacts, in particular with representatives of the Moravian Brethren , against whom he initially had reservations. After a conversation in July 1777 with Anton Stähli, who was in charge of the organizational management of the Moravian Brethren in Switzerland, he asked him to continue visiting him in the future and shortly afterwards took part in a meeting of the Schaffhausen Society of the Brethren. In 1782 he sent his daughter Maria Katharine to the educational institute in Montmirail (today: Communauté Don Camillo ), run by the Herrnhutern , which the future Bishop Friedrich von Wattenwyl had acquired. She later married the lavater student Johann Georg Müller .

Eberhard Gaupp was married to Maria Catharina (* 1728; † February 10, 1796), daughter of Hans Jacob Ammann, councilor and guild master, since 1767 . They had a daughter together:

Maria Katharina Gaupp (* 1768; † 1819), married to Johann Georg Müller.

When Eberhard Gaupp died, the male line of the family also died out.
