In 1241, according to other information, in 1243, the place was founded as a colonist village by Conrad II.

In the center of the village there was a pond fed from the groundwater . The pond in front of the church was later filled in and is no longer there today. In the years 1349/1350, 1360/1361 and 1375 the plague occurred in the village , which led to a decrease in the number of inhabitants by 40%. In 1350, beekeepers were given special privileges in the village. This led to an increase in beekeeping. Almost every family kept bees.

Until 1541 the village belonged to the Zehdenick Castle and Monastery Office .

In 1624, Hammelspring had 168 inhabitants. There were 16 feudal farmers, five kossats, a Schulzenhof and a parish hoof. A total of 46 hooves were farmed.
