Life

Eduard Napp was a son of the military surgeon Johann Christian Napp. From 1822 to 1825 he attended the large city school in Rostock and from Easter 1825 studied Protestant theology at the University of Rostock .

After completing his studies, he first worked as a private tutor at Jürgenshof (now part of Alt Schwerin ), then at Federow (now part of Kargow ). In 1835 he was appointed rector of the Penzlin community school .

During the revolution in Mecklenburg (1848) Napp was a leading member of the reform association Penzlin and was elected in October 1848 in the constituency of Mecklenburg-Schwerin 85: Penzlin to the Mecklenburg parliamentary assembly. Here he joined the faction of reform associations, the Left , and became secretary of the school committee. He submitted templates to the committee concerning the upgrading and improvement of the entire elementary school system , which, however, were no longer passed.

In 1849 he was a candidate for the preacher election in Penzlin, which was suspended because of political unrest . After the collapse of the democratic movement as a result of the Freienwalder arbitration award , he emigrated to the USA in 1851. He found a new home in Cuyahoga County , Ohio , became a US citizen in 1856 and lived here as a farmer in Newburgh Heights, Ohio, then in Cleveland until 1861.

From 1836 to 1850 he was a member of the Association for Mecklenburg History and Archeology.
