Live and act

He was the son of the art worker and glass cutter Christoph Jacob Klüpfel (1683–1740) from Stuttgart and his wife Sophie Katharine Euphrosine Sattler (1685–1771) from Kirchheim unter Teck ; both married on Wednesday November 3, 1706. Klüpfel had five sisters: Magdalena Sophie (1707–1755), Christina Beata (* 1713), Jakobea Dorothea (1714–1751), Catharina Elisabeth (* 1716) and Dorothea Rosine Klüpfel (* 1722). His two brothers were the town clerk and hospital caretaker Jacob Friedrich Klüpfel (1718–1785) and the dean in Weinsberg Johann Albrecht Klüpfel.

Klüpfel attended various monastery schools before studying theology in Tübingen from 1731 . There he received his master's degree in 1733 . He was ordained in 1735 and appointed first pastor by the church council of the German Lutheran congregation in Geneva in 1741 .

In Geneva he met a few years later the secret diplomat Baron Ulrich von Thun (1707–1788), who served the Hereditary Prince Friedrich Ludwig of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg as chief court master . Baron Ulrich von Thun brokered his job as the prince's instructor with the title of travel preacher . He also followed the Hereditary Prince on his Grand Tour , which took him and his princely pupil to Paris in 1747. In Paris he dealt extensively with the French language and literature and made contact with the educated society. He met the writers, journalists and diplomats Friedrich Melchior Grimm and Jean-Jacques Rousseau at a festival held by Baron Ulrich von Thun in August 1749 in a country house in Fontenay-sous-Bois .

In 1750 he accompanied the Hereditary Prince to Gotha, where he met the Duchess Luise Dorothea of ​​Saxe-Meiningen and her friend Juliane Franziska von Buchwald (1707–1789). Through the two women he was accepted into their inner circle and in the same year Klüpfel was promoted to the “ Sousgouverneur ” of the Hereditary Prince with the title of Council of Churches , and two years later to the Senior Consistorial Councilor . In 1753 he married a noblewoman. His marriage suffered from his wife's mental illness. Shortly before his death, he rose in the administrative hierarchy to vice-president and chairman of the senior consistory.
