Gottlieb Köpping was born the son of Martin Köpping (schoolmaster in Großbothen). He enrolled at the Thomasschule in Leipzig on June 8, 1715; studied there from 1715 to 1724; and at Universität Leipzig from 1724, obtaining his Baccalaureus degree in 1728, and his Magister degree in 1730. Although he attended the Thomasschule during J.S. Bach's tenure, it is not known if he actually studied with him. After his studies, he worked as Vespers Preacher at the Paulinerkirche in Leipzig from 1731; Substitute from 1734 and Pastor from 1739 in Kiebitz. His younger brothers were also Thomaners: Johann Christian Köpping (1704-1772) in 1718-1726; Johann Andreas Köpping (1714-1797) in 1733-1736.
