Life

After graduating from school in 1858, Oscar Hoppe first worked for a locksmith and later in the mechanical engineering institute and iron foundry in Ilsenburg before studying at the Polytechnic School in Hanover from 1860 to 1864 . In 1864 he passed the state examination for railway engineering and got a job as an engineer in Clausthal. In 1868 he was appointed lecturer for mechanical engineering and physics at the Bergakademie Clausthal , where the later Secret Bergrat worked from 1888 to 1911 as professor for technical mechanics and physics. In addition, he dealt extensively with electrical engineering.
