history

Feggendorf was mentioned in 1153 as Veggendorp and in 1159 as Cleggendorf . Feggendorf was common since around the year 1600. The former neighboring town of Lachdorf or Lacthorpe , which was probably named after its location in a damp area in 1153 , was first mentioned together with Feggendorf in 1417. The location of the two historic village centers can still be seen in the townscape.

Feggendorf had around 200 inhabitants in 1658. In the 19th century, the coal mining of the Feggendorfer Stolln caused a doubling of the population from 1831 . In 1848 Feggendorf had 51 residential buildings with 356 inhabitants and had a school. In 1869 there were 3 Vollmeierhöfe , 5 Halbmeier, 6 Kötner , 26 Brinkitzer and 1 cultivator in the village .

When the districts were founded in 1885, the place belonged to the Springe district . With the regional reform in Lower Saxony , the municipality of Feggendorf was incorporated into the municipality of Lauenau on March 1, 1974. The patch consisting of the two districts of Lauenau and Feggendorf was incorporated into the Schaumburg-Lippe district with the dissolution of the Springe district in 1974 and into the Schaumburg district in 1977 .

Ecclesiastically, Feggendorf first belonged to the parish of Apelern , since 1887 to Lauenau. Feggendorf has had its own cemetery since 1956.
