In the 17th century, the name spread to other parts of Germany, such as Saxony and Prussia. A prominent figure from this era was Friedrich Wilhelm Studtmann (1638-1701), a Lutheran theologian and author who served as a professor at the University of Wittenberg.

The 19th century saw the Studtmann name reach beyond Germany's borders. For instance, Johann Christian Studtmann (1801-1872) was a German-born painter who spent much of his career in Denmark, where he became renowned for his landscape paintings.
