Herr Renzenbrink,
please see article on the name "Brinkmann" from Die Welt several years ago.
This is one of a series of very good articles from Herr Thomsen on the
meaning/origin of family names. This may help with part of your question.
I myself have FN VOSSBRINK in my Stammbaum, from the city of Quakenbrueck
quite close to Bramsche. I take that to mean that the original VOSSBRINK
lived on the brink or edge of the prominent family VOSS lands.
