Life

Johann Andreas Laupp was the son of a master tailor from Derendingen , Johann Martin Laupp. In 1810 he married Christina Barbara Roth, a daughter of Andreas Roth.

He had been a member of the council since 1809, from 1814 he was promoted to court relative, and from 1816 he was also mayor of Tübingen (together with Johann Jacob Rehfuß ). After the introduction of the municipal constitution in 1819, which introduced the office of mayor, he took over this office until 1823.

Under Laupp's chairmanship, the Tübingen municipal council decided on July 3, 1822, despite the difficult financial situation, to introduce a secondary school, from which today's Kepler grammar school developed. The first class opened at the beginning of 1823, a second followed in the fall of the same year, and a third in the fall of the following year.
