Life

Ruppelt is considered a distinguished social lawyer. From 1982 he was initially a judge at the Mainz Social Court and later at the Rhineland-Palatinate Regional Social Court . From 1990 he was a judge at the Federal Social Court. Two years later he returned to the State Social Court of Rhineland-Palatinate in Mainz and became presiding judge in 1997. In 2003, at the request of the then Justice Senator Roger Kusch, he moved to Hamburg to become President of the Regional Social Court. At the time, the Hamburg Regional Social Court consisted of ten professional and 120 lay judges, which it presided over. In 2004, at Kusch's suggestion, Ruppelt was appointed deputy judge at the Hamburg Constitutional Court.

Ruppelt was on leave from 2007 as President of the Regional Social Court due to an investigation. With effect from September 1, 2013, Ruppelt was retired. In March 2008 he resigned from the office of deputy member of the Hamburg Constitutional Court .

The Mainz public prosecutor has closed the investigation against the court president. Neither possession nor purchase of child pornographic images could be proven. The Senate allowed an interrupted disciplinary procedure against Ruppelt to continue. It ended in November 2010 with the recommendation that Ruppelt be dismissed from the judge's service. Since the Senate Personnel Office did not consider the evidence to be sufficient, it stopped the submission to the Judges' Tribunal.
