Johann (Johannes) Höpfner (* January 1812 in Uetersen ; † November 9, 1852 ) was an author , royal Danish State Councilor and head of department in the Schleswig Ministry in Copenhagen.

Life

He was the only son of seven children of the country preacher and pastor of the Uetersen monastery church , Dietrich Lebrecht Höpfner, who died on March 30, 1830 . Höpfner studied law at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel and joined the Corps Holsatia in 1832 . In 1836 he passed the bar office exams with distinction. He then became a councilor in Schleswig and went to Copenhagen when the Schleswig-Holstein survey began . He found a job with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Höpfner undertook several diplomatic missions to Berlin and London as a diplomat and consul . Later he was commissioned to work out a draft for a new district division for the Duchy of Schleswig , which he also finished. As a result of a reshuffle, Höpfner took over the post of head of the Department of Justice and Police in the Ministry for the Duchy of Schleswig. Due to a severe relapse from a long-term illness, he had to give up this post despite his excellent hard work and efficiency. The last years of his life he was looked after by his sister and probably died in Hanerau-Hademarschen . As a writer, he was particularly known for his writings on juries, which he was critical of. On September 7th, 1846 he became a royal Danish real Etarsrat and later a knight of the Danebrog and Danebrogman.
