Live and act

After studying law for seven years in Jena, Leipzig and Wittenberg as well as traveling through the Netherlands, England and France, Oppel became a respondent in Leipzig in 1616. He received his doctorate in Basel in 1621, after which he went to Gera as a Reussian court and government councilor. In 1629 he was electoral court and judicial councilor, in 1637 privy councilor and court palatinate count (Comes Palatinus). Oppel also became a Reichsgefreiter and chief tax collector.

In 1635 he was one of the co- negotiators in the Peace of Prague and in 1645 one of the three Saxon signers of the Kötzschenbroda Armistice , which effectively ended the Thirty Years' War for the Saxon troops .

With his wife Maria Sophia Oppel († 1680) he had the son Johann Georg von Oppel (1635–1696), who in turn produced the youngest son Siegmund Ehrenfried von Oppel (1687–1757).
