In 1860 there was again a passenger ferry to Lemwerder . The population rose to 1118 in 1885 and to 1522 in 1900. In 1892 the Fährer School was established on Fröbelstrasse. Until 1908 Fähr was an independent municipality, which was then attached to Aumund and in 1939 to Bremen.
Lobbendorf
Lobbendorf was named as Lobbenthorpe in 1139 , probably after the first name Lubbe or Lobbe of a farmer. In the 13th century this was the seat of a family of ministers . The landowners were the St. Paul Monastery in Bremen and the knights of Marßel and Aumund. In 1823 Lobbendorf had only 20 inhabitants, in 1995 there were 8531. The place came to Aumund in 1852, which belonged to the Lesum office . In 1939 Aumund was incorporated into Bremen. Lesum was responsible as a parish , and Alt-Aumund since 1873. In 1874 the new Vegesack cemetery was opened on Lindenstrasse . In 1946 the districts of Fähr and Lobbendorf became a common district.

history
Surname
Vegesack could be derived from the Feeg-Sack , i.e. from a bay on the river or from an inn where the purse (sack) was emptied (sweeping). The place Vegesack was first mentioned in 1453 starting from the inn "Thom Fegesacke".
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 .
Borchshöhe takes its name from the landowners Friedrich von der Borch (castle) from the old knight family of Gerfridus de Burch (1181) around 1700 .
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.

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.
