Lappungen

Lappungen is a German noun used to describe the action or result of lapping, patching, or joining materials by overlapping. The word derives from Lappen, meaning patch or rag, with the suffix -ung forming a noun that denotes an act or process.

In practical use, Lappung appears in several technical and craft contexts. In textiles and leatherwork, a Lappung refers to applying a patch to mend or reinforce fabric or material, with methods ranging from sewing to adhesive or heat-setting fixation. In construction, metalworking, and carpentry, the term can describe a lap joint, where two elements overlap to form a connection or reinforce a structure. The concept emphasizes continuity and reinforcement through overlapping layers.

Geographically, there is no widely documented place named Lappungen in major encyclopedic or geographic references. If the term is intended as a proper name for a locality, further regional information would help identify the correct entity.
