Seekamp
Seekamp is a surname of German origin. The Seekamp name dates back to November 25, 1481. That Friday, Heinrich Clüver sold a piece of land near Bollen known as the Seekampswerder to the church, who in turn leased the land to two brothers: Hinrich and Brüne. They didn’t have a surname yet. But thanks to the lease, they became known as Hinrich Seekamp and Brüne Seekamp. Werder are small, cultivated pieces of land, on a river, which become rich and fertile over time through the ebb and flow of river floods. The Seekamp name is formed from German ''See'' meaning 'lake', and ''kamp'', a Low German word meaning 'enclosed, fenced, or hedged piece of land', which in turn comes from the Latin word ''campus'' meaning 'plain'.

By the early 1700s, descendants of Hinrich Seekamp and his brother had become established families in the surrounding villages: Bollen, Uphusen, Bierden, Mahndorf, Embsen, and the towns of Achim a ...

After the Rebellion was put down, he was charged, found guilty of seditious libel, and imprisoned, becoming the only participant to receive gaol time. After an embarrassingly public squabble with visiting actress Lola Montez and the court case that resulted from it, he sold ''The Times'' and left Ballarat. He died eight years later, aged only 35.
