The facility is the first marching camp discovered in Lower Saxony and the furthest north-east in Germania ( Germania magna ) on the right bank of the Rhine .

The medieval settlement of Klein Hemmingen , which fell into desolation around the 15th century, was located near Hemmingen . Settlement remnants were discovered in 2014 during earthworks at the Carl Friedrich Gauß School and archaeologically examined.

On March 1, 1974, the communities of Arnum, Devese, Harkenbleck, Hemmingen-Westerfeld, Hiddestorf, Ohlendorf and Wilkenburg were merged to form the new community of Hemmingen. The seven former congregations quickly formed a local community. The rapid development after 1945 is characteristic of the districts. In 1939, only 4,334 inhabitants lived in the area of ​​today's town of Hemmingen, today there are around 18,500. Modern residential buildings determine the townscape.
