The enlarged community of Aumund had belonged to the Osterholz district since 1932 and was incorporated into the city of Bremen in 1939.

history

Surname

Aumund takes its name from the mouth of the floodplain . It was called 1040 Aunon, 1139 Oumunde, 1421 Owmunde.
Hammersbeck derives its name from the landowners Hammer , who lived on the Beeke .
Schönebeck means something like beautiful beeke , beautiful brook valley . It was called 1380 Schonenbeke and 1412 Schonebeke. Descendants of the Knights of Oumunde took the name of Schönebeck in the 15th century .

Middle Ages to 1800

The Weser ferry in Fähr was first mentioned in the 14th century .
A restaurant for boatmen was established at the end of the 16th century with a small settlement at the confluence of the floodplain into the Weser - the Aumunder Tief .

From 1618 to 1623, following a decision by the Bremen Council , the Vegesack Harbor was the first artificial river port in Germany to be built by the Bremen merchants and the Seefahrt company, as the Weser silted up more and more upstream and the large commercial sailing ships no longer the Schlachte of Bremen's old town due to their draft could start. From 1645 to 1648 the Havenhaus , the official residence of the Vegesack harbor master with an inn, was built. The village had only forty households at the time. In 1671 the city of Bremen took over the harbor basin.

In the First Bremen-Swedish War in 1654, Swedish troops occupied Vegesack in the meantime, but had to withdraw again when the armed conflict ended and the First Stade Settlement was concluded.

Friedrichsdorf was built around 1700 , named after Friedrich von der Borch , the owner of the Schönebeck house .

When Bremen had to cede large parts of its land holdings to the Electorate of Hanover as a price for respecting its imperial freedom in the Second Stade Comparison in 1741 , only the port basin and the Havenhaus remained from Vegesack. Due to increasing shipments from the Weser, most of the merchant ships could no longer call at Vegesack. The port was soon only winter storage and repairs for the ships.

In 1852 Vegesack was elevated to the status of a city, and in 1875 the Bremen exclave Vegesack was joined to the German Customs Union .

1939 Due to the fourth ordinance on the rebuilding of the Reich of September 28, 1939, part of the Prussian-Hanoverian district of Osterholz came to Bremen on November 1, 1939. The previously independent Prussian communities of Grohn, Schönebeck, Aumund, Hammersbeck, Fähr and Lobbendorf were incorporated into the city of Bremen.

In 1946, together with the former city of Vegesack, they formed the Bremen-Vegesack local authority .

schools

In 1823 an evangelical unified church school was established . In 1827, teaching as a Latin school could begin at what was then a two-class elementary school . In 1829 the new school building was built on the corner of Breite Strasse and Oststrasse (today Kirchheide). Around 1858 the church school developed into a higher middle school with four to five classes. In 1863 the elementary school was separated from the citizen school.

In 1869 the Second Order Secondary School was founded . With that, Vegesack had its first high school. This became the Vegesack Realgymnasium in 1882 , named in 1938 as Gerhard Rohlfs School, Oberschule for boys after 1945 Gerhard Rohlfs School , from 1957 Gerhard Rohlfs Gymnasium , from 1977 Gerhard Rohlfs School Center and from 2010 Gerhard Rohlfs School High school .
In 1976/77 the school center of the upper secondary level was built on Kerschensteinerstraße with a grammar school and the vocational school for metal and electrical engineering. In 1993 it became today's Vegesack Grammar School .

In 1865 a private secondary school for girls was founded and taken over by Bremen in 1901 as the municipal secondary school for girls in Vegesack , later the municipal lyceum in Vegesack ; this was the first state higher girls' school in the state of Bremen. In 1907 the first student was accepted as an intern in the upper classes of the secondary school in Vegesack; others followed. Until 1956 saw the introduction of co-education , joint education of boys and girls.

In Vegesack there was the vocational training school since 1900 , which around 170 students attended in 1901/02. In 1909 a mandatory visit for professional training was ordered in Vegesack. In 1934 there was a commercial school in Vegesack.
