Life

At the request of his father, Ernst Friedrich Mooyer (senior) , he first became a businessman in Bremen and then ran his father's business with a younger brother. In particular, his later activity as an antiquarian is considered significant.

He earned a special reputation for his research work and publications on earlier German history. This found recognition among other things with the award of the Red Eagle Order fourth class and by the Belgian king with the award of the Golden Medal for Art and Science . In addition, he was an honorary member of 20 German and 7 other international associations of historians. His works are known as references in numerous publications on antiquity research .

Together with the doctor and writer Nikolaus Meyer , he was one of the leading personalities of the Minden-based "Westphalian Society for Patriotic Culture", for which he worked as a librarian for many years. He was temporarily a city councilor and served as a city archivist on a voluntary basis. His important library with an extensive collection of Minden archives, which he saved from destruction, went to the Münster State Archives after his death .
