Life

At the beginning of the 18th century, Heinrich Jacob Löpentin supported the director of the French garden , Asmus Anthony , who was active in Celle , from 1709 to 1711 as a “supernumerair gardener” . Around the same time, Asmus Anthony supervised the orangery in the Great Garden of Herrenhausen near Hanover from 1707 to 1710 .

After the death of the pomeranian and orangery gardener Anton Spanuth , who worked in Herrenhausen , Löpentin was his successor. He was given the inventory of the Herrenhausen Orangery , which had been made by the master builder Johann Heinrich Westermann together with the gardener of the kitchen garden in Linden , Johann Konrad Weffer. The annual salary of the civil servant was 300 thaler at the time . At the beginning of the 18th century he still dominated the sovereign crops as confidently as the decorative green.

Löpentinstrasse

The Löpentinstraße, which was laid out in the Hanoverian district in 1925 and named after the master gardener, connects the Böttcherstraße with the Meldaustraße.
