How to create custom header and footer with minutes and fancyhdr

Question

I'm using the minutes package from https://ctan.org/pkg/minutes and changed the header and footer with fancyhdr:
% Minutes
usepackage{minutes}

% Header & Footer
usepackage{lastpage}
usepackage{fancyhdr}
pagestyle{fancy}
fancyhf{}
fancyhead[C]{}
fancyfoot[L]{}
fancyfoot[R]{Seite {thepage} von pageref{LastPage}}

Is there a way to set the header fancyhead[C]{} to the topic of the current page and the footer fancyfoot[L]{} to the name set in begin{Protokoll}{Protokoll Jugendausschuss}?

A topic is a section, and section puts information in leftmark or rightmark depending on the documentclass.
If your document is article based (including scrart), it would be:
fancyhead[C]{leftmark}

If it is report based, or anything that has chapters, it would be:
fancyhead[C]{rightmark}

You could also redefine sectionmark to use the mark of your choice.
For mor information, read the fancyhdr documentation.
