The history of the last name Fullenkamp

The surname Fullenkamp originates from Germany, with the earliest known records dating back to the 16th century. The name is believed to be derived from the German words "voll" and "kamp," which translate to "full" and "field" or "battle," respectively. This suggests that the name may have originally referred to someone who lived near a fertile field or possibly a person who participated in battles.

In the late 16th century, the name Fullenkamp appeared in various German records, including parish registers and tax rolls. One of the earliest documented instances is the birth of Hans Fullenkamp in 1587 in the town of Bielefeld, in the region of Westphalia, Germany.

The Fullenkamp surname has also been associated with several notable individuals throughout history. Johannes Fullenkamp (1632-1707), a German theologian and author, was born in Hanover and wrote extensively on religious topics. His works include "Dissertatio de Theologia Mystica" and "Tractatus de Praedestinatione."

Another notable figure was Gerhard Fullenkamp (1791-1858), a German politician and jurist who served as the Mayor of Cologne from 1848 to 1852. He played a significant role in the city's governance during a period of political upheaval in Germany.

In the 19th century, the Fullenkamp family had a presence in various parts of Germany, with some members migrating to other European countries and even the United States. One such individual was Carl Fullenkamp (1845-1911), a German-American entrepreneur and inventor who patented several innovations related to brewing and distilling processes.

Another noteworthy Fullenkamp was Wilhelm Fullenkamp (1878-1942), a German architect and urban planner who designed several landmark buildings in Berlin and other cities during the early 20th century. His works include the Johanniskirche in Berlin-Lichtenberg and the Neues Polizeipräsidium (New Police Headquarters) in Berlin-Mitte.
