StadtA DO]). Also the Dortmunder Zeitung, morning edition of April 28, 1938: "Carl Berkemeyer [...] comes from old Westphalian peasant families on both his father's and mother's side, whose origins can be traced back to the 14th century". This meant a distant cousin (the Lengerich Berkemeyers go back to 1385) to Hans Berckemeyer (who was also active in the DVP, albeit in terms of imperial politics) and his brother Hermann , who lived diagonally across from Berkemeyer's parents' house on Bornstrasse in Dortmund .
