Lammertsfehn is a part of the municipality of Filsum in the district of Leer in East Frisia . The scattered settlement is a fake Fehnsiedlung . Contrary to what its name suggests, there is no fen channel. The village is located about three kilometers northwest of Hollen and about seventeen kilometers east-northeast of the district town of Leer on Pseudogley - Gley -öden at a height of 5.4 meters above sea level (NN). Selverderfeld , a settlement established in 1772, whose current name has been official since 1871 , also belongs to the district . The Lammertsfehn district covers a total of 2.87 square kilometers.
The village also belongs to Filsum from an ecclesiastical point of view. The residents of Lammertsfehn are part of the Evangelical Lutheran St. Paul parish there.
Settlement of the bog edge settlement began in 1772/73. It was officially named Lammerts-Vehn for the first time in 1787 . The village Lammersfehn is mentioned in statistics from 1848 . The settlement probably got its name from the first settlers. It goes back either to the nickname Lammert or the family name Lammerts . After it was founded, Lammertsfehn grew only slowly: the town had 158 inhabitants in 1821, compared to 390 in 1939. A major boost in population development came after the end of the Second World War, when many refugees were taken in from the former eastern regions of the German Empire. In 1946, 127 of the 522 inhabitants were refugees, or around 24.3 percent. By 1950 this rate fell significantly. Of the 484 inhabitants, 65 were refugees, or 13.4 percent.
