Sigismund von Schkoppe (born 1600, died 1670) is a German General-Lieutenant, Governor General of Brazil. Sigismund von Schkoppe was born in Lubin, came from Silesia, was a master of Kresberg and Gross-Kotzenau (now Rak and Chocian). In 1629, as captain, he came to Brazil with Krzysztof Arciszewski. He participated in the conquest of Pernambuco. In 1633, as a colonel, he was a commander of the Company's military in Brazil. In 1634 the company's command was handed over to Arciszewski, but he renounced it to Schkoppe. His deputy left and joined new companies - Captain Rio Grande and ParaĆ­ba. Mauritz Johan von Nassau-Siegen became a governor of Brazil in 1638 and Schkoppe left Brazil. In 1644 he was appointed general of the army of the Dutch West Bengal Company and the new governor general of Brazil.

His government was riots and rebellions in the gubernatorial state. The growers and slaves and the Indians organized an uprising against the Dutch, who shut down in the forts and then in Pernambuco. Commander of the insurgent troops Andre de Negreios Vidal surrounded the city and forced the inhabitants of this governor to surrender. On January 26, 1654 Sigismund von Schkoppe signed the capitulation and then returned to the Netherlands. In the country he was brought before a court martial, who acquitted him. Bibliography
