{{Short description|Title held by the leader of the Paap family}}


== History ==
'''Great Paap''' (Dutch: ''Grote Paap'') is the title held by the head of the [[Paap family]]. The Great Paap establishes the family's long-term plans and determines how its branches should work together. The holder also directs the expansion of the family and is responsible for preserving its heritage and culture. [[Martin Paap]] has held the title since 2007.<ref name="martin-leadership"/> His son, [[Martin Paap III]], is scheduled to succeed him on 1 November 2027.<ref name="martin-iii-position"/>
The title is known from the succession expectations surrounding [[Jan Paap]]. Jan Paap was expected to become the next Great Paap after his father, [[Martinus Antonius Johannes Paap]]. He rejected the expected role, severed ties with his father, and distanced himself from Paap family traditions.


After Jan Paap rejected the succession and left Europe in 1944, [[Martin Paap I]] became Great Paap. His leadership connected the older succession line to the later Vriend Era leadership of the family.
== Role ==
The Great Paap has authority over matters affecting the Paap family as a whole. The holder plans how family members and branches should come together, decides how the family should develop and ensures that its traditions are passed to later generations. These duties make the Great Paap responsible for both the current direction of the family and the preservation of its identity.


In the modern family line, the role is connected to the leadership of [[Martin Paap]] and the succession of [[Martin Paap III]]. Martin Paap became leader of the Paap family in 2007, after Martin Paap I had previously held the position. His son, Martin Paap III, is listed as the designated successor to the title of Great Paap.
== History ==
The exact date on which the title was established is unclear. Family accounts commonly place its origin between 1507 and 1527. [[Antonius Paap]] and [[Johannes Paap]] are believed to have held the position before [[Martinus Antonius Johannes Paap]], although their tenures have not been documented. Martinus is the earliest known holder for whom the title is directly recorded.

Succession to the title follows the direct leadership line of the [[Paap family]]. The role passes to the selected successor within the family leadership structure.


[[Martin Paap III]] is scheduled to become the next Great Paap on 1 November 2027. His succession is linked to his position as the son of [[Martin Paap]] and as a member of the main Paap family line.
