Onno Klopp (born October 9, 1822 in Leer / Ostfriesland ; † August 9, 1903 in Vienna ) (pseudonym: J. Vota) was a German-Austrian publicist and historian .

life and work

Klopp was the fifth of twelve children of the businessman and Bünting co-owner Weert Klopp (1791-1833) and his wife Henriette Verford (1796-1885). After his school education in Leer and Emden , Klopp studied philology, Protestant theology, history and philosophy in Bonn , Berlin and Göttingen from 1841 to 1845 . In Bonn he joined the Corps Guestphalia . In Göttingen he passed the exams for the higher teaching post in 1845; the doctorate in Jena took place in absentia. Klopp went as a teacher at the Ratsgymnasium Osnabrück, where he taught until the summer of 1858 and was also active as a journalist and writer during this time. During the March Revolution of 1848 Klopp still supported the Democrats, but he fundamentally changed this attitude in the following period. In 1852 he began work on an "East Frisian Story", which appeared in three volumes from 1854 to 1858.

In 1848 Klopp married Agnes Adelgundis Franziska Beckmann (1832-1894). The couple had five daughters and two sons.

In 1858 Klopp came to Hanover . Due to his anti-Prussian stance, King George V noticed him and in 1861 was commissioned to edit Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's works on political science . In 1865, Klopp was appointed archivist for the Hanover state archives. In the following year he assisted King George V as secretary and courier in the war against Prussia.

After the defeat of Austria and Hanover in the German War of 1866, Klopp fled like the dethroned king from Hanover to Vienna. After 1871 - an Austrian citizen since 1872 - Onno Klopp intensified his historical-literary work again.

For six years, from 1876 to 1882, he taught history to the later heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand (then simply Archduke Franz) in Vienna . Its notes were published after Klopp's death in 1912 under the title "Political History of Europe".

From today's perspective, Klopp is considered to be the last “house historian” of the Welfs . In his numerous journalistic works he sharply criticized Prussian politics and in particular of the “small German history builders”, those mostly Prussian historians like Heinrich von Sybel or Ludwig Häusser , who propagated a small German view of history in their work prior to the establishment of the German Empire . Although Klopp's historical works without a doubt the methodological criteria of the science of history corresponded, he fell by an outsider role that is naturally still greater than Hannover in 1866 after the war of Prussia was annexed. This did not change even after his flight to Vienna, where, after converting to Catholicism in 1873, he now represented a Greater German- Catholic view of history that was overtaken by political developments .
