**Onno Klopp** (9 October 1822 in [Leer](/source/Leer,_Lower_Saxony), [Kingdom of Hanover](/source/Kingdom_of_Hanover) – 9 August 1903 in [Penzing](/source/Penzing_(Vienna)), Austria) was a German historian, best known as the author of *Der Fall des Hauses Stuart* (The Fall of the [House of Stuart](/source/House_of_Stuart)), the fullest existing account of the later [Stuarts](/source/Stuarts).[1] He is also known as one of the few German historians who denigrated [Frederick the Great](/source/Frederick_the_Great).[2]

## Life

Klopp was educated at the universities of [Bonn](/source/University_of_Bonn), [Berlin](/source/Humboldt_University_of_Berlin) and [Göttingen](/source/University_of_G%C3%B6ttingen) (1841–1845). For a few years, he was a teacher at Leer and at [Osnabrück](/source/Osnabr%C3%BCck). In 1858, he settled at [Hanover](/source/Hanover), where he became intimate with [King George V](/source/George_V_of_Hanover), who made him his Archivrat. Thoroughly disliking [Prussia](/source/Prussia), he was in hearty accord with George in resisting the empire's aggressive policy. After the annexation of Hanover in 1866 he accompanied the exiled king to [Hietzing](/source/Hietzing). He became a [Roman Catholic](/source/Roman_Catholic) in 1874. He died at [Penzing](/source/Penzing_(Vienna)), near [Vienna](/source/Vienna), in 1903. Klopp is best known as the author of *Der Fall des Hauses Stuart* (Vienna, 1875–1888), the fullest existing account of the later [Stuarts](/source/Stuarts).[1]

## Works

His *Der König Friedrich II. und seine Politik* (Schaffhausen 1867) and *Geschichte Ostfrieslands* (Hanover, 1854–1858) show his dislike of Prussia. His other works include *Der dreissigjährige Krieg bis zum Tode Gustav Adolfs* (Paderborn, 1891–1896); a revised edition of his *Tilly im Dreißigjährigen Krieg* (Stuttgart, 1861); a life of [George V](/source/George_V_of_Hanover), *König Georg V.* (Hanover, 1878); *Das Jahr 1683* (1882); and *Phillipp Melanchthon* (Berlin, 1897). He edited *Corrispondenza epistolare tra Leopoldo I. imperatore ed il P. Marco d'Aviano cappuccino* (Gratz, 1888). Klopp also wrote much in defence of George V and his claim to Hanover, including the *Offizieller Bericht über die Kriegsereignisse zwischen Hanover und Preussen im Juni 1866* (Vienna, 1867), and he edited the works of [Leibniz](/source/Gottfried_Leibniz) in eleven volumes.[1][3]
