Biography

Heinrich Karl Gottfried Joachim von Oppen was born on April 3, 1879, in Breslau, Germany and died on April 27, 1948, in Hamburg, Germany. He is the son of Karl August von Oppen and Luise Countess von Itzenplitz.

He served as a Regiersrungassessor in Danzig, then worked in the Prussian Kulturamt and as a Landwirt.

Joachim von Oppen was the owner of the estate of Dannenwalde, which his wife inherited in 1908. The estate was expropriated in 1945.

Commencing in 1921, he was the President of the Landwirtschaftskammer of the Province of Brandenburg. He also served as a Delegate to the German Landwirtschaftskammer.

He was one of fourteen signatories on the Industrielleneingabe, a letter dated November 19, 1932, in which leading industrialists and landowners petitioned Paul von Hindenburg, the President of Germany, to appoint Adolf Hitler as the Chancellor of Germany. The letter has been portrayed as evidence for the support of large industry for the Nazi rise to power.

He married Anna von Rohr, the daughter of Otto von Rohr and Elisabeth (von Köckritz) von Rohr, on October 16, 1908, on Dannenwalde, Germany. She was born on December 12, 1883, in Dannenwalde, Germany and died on August 4, 1951, in Reinbek, Germany.

He authored Mussolini und die italienische Landwirtschaft (1930).
