The history of the last name Konemann

The surname KONEMANN originated in Germany, and its earliest recorded examples date back to the 16th century. The name is believed to be derived from the German word "Konemann," which translates to "cony man" or "rabbit man." This suggests that the name may have been initially given to someone who worked as a rabbit hunter or trader.

The earliest known reference to the KONEMANN surname can be found in the records of the city of Cologne, where a certain Johann Konemann was mentioned in a document from 1528. Other early records show the name spelled as "Konneman" or "Kohnemann," which were likely regional variations.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the KONEMANN surname began to spread across various regions of Germany, including the states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony, and Hesse. Some notable individuals from this period include:

1. Matthias Konemann (1617-1687), a prominent merchant and landowner from the town of Soest.
2. Anna Konemann (1652-1721), a renowned midwife who practiced in the city of Münster.

As the 19th century dawned, the KONEMANN name became more widespread, and several individuals bearing this surname gained recognition in various fields. One such person was Wilhelm Konemann (1814-1892), a respected lawyer and politician who served as a member of the Prussian parliament.

In the 20th century, the KONEMANN surname continued to be represented across various professions and disciplines. Some notable individuals include:

1. Karl Konemann (1901-1978), a German artist and sculptor known for his works in metal and stone.
2. Hildegard Konemann (1912-2001), a celebrated author and poet who wrote extensively about life in rural Germany.
