Johann Daniel Schöpflin : contemporary engravingJohann Daniel Schöpflin : engraving by Egid VerhelstMemorial to Johann Daniel Schöpflin in St. Thomas Church, Strasbourg
Schöpflin was well known in Europe and had a sphere of influence that went far beyond Strasbourg. His correspondence provides not only a revealing look at university and academic life of the time, but also at culture and diplomacy in the Age of Enlightenment. His comments on his contemporaries and current events are now an important source for this era. Schöpflin’s correspondents included the scholars of the Sankt Blasien Abbey in the Black Forest, Martin Gerbert and Rustenus Heer. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1728.
From 1763, Schöpflin was a member of the Palatine Academy of Sciences in Mannheim and was its first honorary president.[1]
Schöpflin taught Goethe in 1770 and 1771, imparting to his student a love of history and especially medieval poetry. The Palatine historian Andreas Lamey (1726-1802) was also one of Schöpflin’s students.[2]
