Life

Johann Joachim Schöpfer was a son of the Quedlinburg lawyer Theodosius Schöpfer and the daughter of the Swedish regimental quartermaster Hötensleben, who lived around 1660 in the house at Breite Straße 11-13 . From 1679 he studied in Leipzig , Jena and Frankfurt an der Oder , where he worked as a private lecturer from the end of 1683. Here Schöpffer received his doctorate and was appointed associate professor of jurisprudence in 1687. In October 1693 he was called to Rostock . In the summer semesters 1694, 1701, 1707 and 1716 he was elected rector of the university. Appointed consistorial councilor in 1701, Schöpffer became vice director of the Mecklenburg Justice Chancellery in June 1707 as the ducal secret council. From 1712 to 1714 he held lectures as a full professor in Kiel , but then returned to Rostock. In 1715 Schöpffer was appointed consistorial director and became a member of the Mecklenburg Secret Council College. At the end of 1715 he stayed at the court of Peter the Great in order to initiate the marriage of his Duke Karl Leopold to Katharina Ivanovna , the Tsar's niece.

As the "right hand man" of the Mecklenburg Duke, he was instrumental in his reprisals against the Rostock Council, but later fell out of favor and was relieved of his offices. He fled to his brother Justus, who was a pastor in Eisleben . During a trip Schöpffer died on apoplexy .
