Location of Klein Fullen in Meppen
|
Klein Fullen is located in the western urban area of Meppen and has almost 400 inhabitants on an area of 15.02 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 that was valid until 1970, Klein Fullen was merged with the neighboring communities Groß Fullen , Rühle and Versen to form the municipality of Emslage on July 1, 1970 , and on March 1, 1974, it was reclassified to the nearby district town of Meppen ( Emsland district ).
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 .
