Hans Höppner
Hans Höppner (8 February 1873, in Bremen – 24 April 1946, in Krefeld) was a German botanist and entomologist.
He worked as a secondary school teacher in the city of Krefeld.[1] Here, he oversaw the local natural science museum, its herbarium and also worked on the museum's entomological collections.[2]
Known for investigations of flora native to the Lower Rhine, he also made numerous taxonomic contributions within the botanical family Orchidaceae.[3] In the field of entomology, he published a regional study on bees called Die Bienenfauna der Dünen und Weserabhänge zwischen Uesen und Baden (1901).[4]
