Live and act

Grave of Hans Ludwig von Oppell in the Inner Neustädter Friedhof

Hans Ludwig von Oppell held the office of a secret government councilor in the Dresden district directorate of the Kingdom of Saxony . From 1831 to 1853 he was police director in Dresden . Between 1836 and 1841 he acquired a total of 23 hectares of land in what is now the Dresden district of Leipziger Vorstadt . This area had been used by the Saxon army as an artillery training area until 1833 and was therefore almost undeveloped. The area was then called "Auf dem Hecht" because a path led through it that led to the vineyard of the forester Hecht, where the inn "Zum Blauen Hecht" was also located. Von Oppell planned to build a housing estate on the site. In 1842 he received the building permit and the first residential houses, farm buildings and gardens, the so-called “new extension on the von Oppell fields”, were built. The new district was known as Oppellvorstadt among the population of Dresden . In the following decades it developed into a densely built workers' residential area and was given the name Hechtviertel .

The Russian Emperor Nicholas I awarded Oppell the Order of St. Anne, 2nd Class in 1838 .

Hans Ludwig von Oppell died in 1876 and was buried in the Inner Neustädter Friedhof .
