Location of Groß Fullen in Meppen

Groß Fullen is located in the western urban area of Meppen and has about 1100 inhabitants on an area of ​​17.34 km². It is located on the old left-Emsian trade route , the so-called Frisian Road .

According to Diepenbrock , Fullen is first mentioned in a document as vollun 854. After a self-government valid until 1970, Groß Fullen was merged with the neighboring communities of Klein Fullen , Rühle and Versen to form the community of Emslage on July 1, 1970 , and on March 1, 1974, it was reclassified to the nearby district town of Meppen ( district of Emsland ). A small part, then about 20 inhabitants, came to Meppen on July 1, 1970.

The mayor is Reiner Fübbeker

origin of the name

Fullen, old form: Vollen, in Meppen can be related to the Old High German volo, horse, which is already contained in the Merseburg magic spells (“Do wart deme Balders volon sin fuoz birenkit”). But it is also conceivable that Vollen can be derived from fole ( volde, valde ). That means hurdle.
