Franz Hoppenstätt probably came originally from Bremen. His work is evident in Estonia from the 1640s. From 1653 he was a citizen of Tallinn.[1] There he worked as a wood carver. His Early Baroque works that were decorated with splendid acanthus ornamentation have become famous.
Particularly well known works include:
The coloured pulpit of the church of Järva-Jaani made by Hoppenstätt with its magnificent carvings (1648)
