The
three golden bowls with
their golden flames
above a silver mountain
of three peaks is the
canting coat of arms of
the Hessian Lampe of
Zennern-Grebenstein
family in Kurhessen
(Electoral Hesse) and
clearly symbolises the
meaning of the name:
lampe derives from the
old German lant-berath
(literally: “shining in
regard to land”); the
mountain signifies land
and the burning flames
represent the adjective
berath, “shining,
bright, splendid.”
Lant-berath transformed
to landbert, lambert,
lampert, lampe.
The pedigree of the
Hessian Lampe of
Zennern-Grebenstein
familiy begins in the
late 1500s: Adam Lamppe
of Zennern was first
mentioned in 1593 and
Helwig Lampe of Zennern
in 1606. The Lampe name,
however, was mentioned
130 km south of Zennern
as early as the year
1357. Johann He(i)nrich
Lampe of Zennern
(1768-1834), a military
man, settled in
Grebenstein and founded
the Grebenstein branch.
(Peter Lampe, “Neues
Archivmaterial aus den
Jahren 1357-1606 zur
Geschichte der Familie
Lampe aus Zennern in
Kurhessen,” in Beiträge
zur Geschichte der
Familien Lampe und
verwandter Familien,
vol. XIII, Hannover
1981, 453-459 = 70.
Jahrgang, 1981, issue
144, pp. 453-459). The
genealogy of some
present armigers (2.1b,
2.1.1 and 2.1.2; see
below) reaches back as
far as the fifth century
and includes royal
lines.
Descendants
of Heinrich
G.W. Lampe
[1858-1919;
Landesdirektionssekretär
in the
former Prussian
 |
province
Hesse-Nassau in
Kassel, Germany,
son of J. Martin
Lampe of
Grebenstein and
Calden
(1826-1909)] and
their spouses
are entitled to
be armigers if
they bear the
surname Lampe.
The family,
however,
informally also
concedes to bear
the coat of arms
if descendants
of Heinrich G.W.
Lampe were born
with this
surname, but
changed it upon
marriage. In
2008, there were
fourteen
armigers:
