The history of the last name Intemann

The surname INTEMANN is of German origin, with its roots tracing back to the 14th century. The name is believed to have originated in the northern regions of Germany, particularly in the areas around modern-day Lower Saxony and Westphalia.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the INTEMANN name can be found in a medieval document from the town of Osnabrück, dated 1387. This document references a certain "Henricus Intemann," suggesting that the name was already in use at that time.

The INTEMANN surname is thought to be derived from the Old German words "innen" meaning "within" or "inside," and "mann" meaning "man." This combination likely referred to someone who lived within the confines of a specific town or village, or perhaps someone who worked as an indoor tradesman or craftsman.

In the 16th century, records show the name appearing in various spellings, such as "Intteman," "Intman," and "Intemann," indicating the evolution of the name over time. During this period, the name was also associated with certain place names, such as "Intemann von Münster," referring to someone from the city of Münster.

One notable figure bearing the INTEMANN surname was Johann Intemann, a German merchant and trader who lived in the 17th century. Born in 1623 in Hannover, Johann was known for his successful trading ventures and his involvement in the local community.

Another individual of note was Friedrich Intemann, a German theologian and scholar who lived from 1701 to 1789. He was widely recognized for his contributions to the study of biblical texts and his work as a professor at the University of Göttingen.

In the 19th century, the INTEMANN name gained further recognition with the birth of Karl Intemann, a prominent German architect born in 1822. His most famous work was the design of the Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall) in Leipzig, a landmark building that still stands today.

Towards the end of the 19th century, the INTEMANN surname also appeared in historical records related to the German immigrant community in the United States. One such individual was August Intemann, who was born in 1854 in Westphalia and later emigrated to America, settling in the state of Wisconsin.
