In 1159 Archbishop Hartwig I's pasture letter mentioned the area of ​​today's Findorff including the Bürgerpark and Stadtwald as a common ( common ) pasture area. It was usable for all citizens.

At some point the western part was separated by the pasture dam, drained through a dense network of drainage ditches and used as a community pasture Kämpe for arable and garden areas. The Hemmstraße  - formerly Hempstraße  - already existed in the 12th century. In 1139 it led through the village of Wallerehem , from 1179 the village of Hemme , from Utbremen on the Kleine Wümme through the blockland to the Große Wümme. Until 1823 the village was an independent village with 20 to 30 inhabitants.
