Göpel studied at Berlin from which he obtained a doctorate in 1835. He worked as an official in the Berlin library and had little contact with his mathematical colleagues although he was friends with Crelle for a while.

Göpel wrote on Steiner's synthetic geometry and an important work, published after his death, continued the work of Jacobi on elliptic functions.
