Early life and education
Hoppe was born on 18 September 1770 in Copenhagen, the third of four children of Supreme Court justice Peder Hoppe (1727–1778) and Elisabeth Hoppe née Holst (1740–1773). An elder brother by the same name had died before he was born. His mother died when he was just three years old. His father was ennobled in 1777. After his death the following year, Hoppe was brought up in the house of professor Børge Riisbrigh.[1] He enrolled at the University of Copenhagen in 1787.
On reaching the age of majority, he received an inheritance of 20,000 species daler from his father and 80,000 species daler from his uncle Abraham Pelt. On 31 July 1790, he was appointed as kammerjunker. On 5 February 1791, he graduated with a degree in law from the university. In 1792, he travelled to Göttingen with the mineralogist G. Wad to continue his studies. On 11 February 1795, he was engaged as a student teacher.[1] His younger brother, Johan Christopher Hoppe, a naval officer, reached the rank of counter admiral.[2]

In 1809, he sold Frihedslund.[4] In 1810, he also parted with Løvegaard.[5] Søbygaard remained in his ownership until 1829.[5]

They had six children, of which the four sons died without leaving offspring. The eldest of their two daughters, Anna Sophie Elisabeth Hoppe (1803–1881), was married to Christian Andreas Vind, owner of Sanderumgård and Bækkeskov.
