Franz Hoppenstätt (died 1657 or 1658) was a German-Estonian wood carver.
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:
None of the works bear Hoppenstätt's signature, so their attribution to him remains in doubt; but all three works are by the same artist.[4]
Hoppenstätt died in the late 1650s, probably of the plague.
