One can assume that without the Hamme river, Worpswede and the Teufelsmoor would not have developed as we know it today. The Hamme runs through part of the extensive moorland that was created in a shallow lake over a period of around 10,000 years after the last ice age. Until the lock in Ritterhude was built in 1876, water was able to flow unhindered into parts of the moorland via the Weser and its tributaries. The construction of a lock in earlier times shows the importance of the Hamme. The Teufelsmoor was already being drained in a planned manner around 1750. A number of canals were built, which were increasingly used as transport routes as the economic importance grew. This is where the type of ship known today as the peat barge was developed, which only existed and still exists in the Teufelsmoor. The peat ships that brought the dried peat to Bremen reached the Hamme via the canals and ditches. The Hamme is 48 km long. The river rises north of Osterholz-Scharmbeck at an altitude of 45 m above sea level. By Worpswede, the gradient has already been reduced considerably and the water flows mostly evenly towards Bremen. In the last two centuries, the Hamme has been a vital trade route for the Teufelsmoor region. At times (around 1850), more than 1,600 peat ships are said to have sailed the river and at a customs office and in Findorffer harbor in Bremen, where the boatmen brought their peat, up to 500 ship movements were recorded on some days.

Beautiful child-friendly bathing area with a raised sandy beach, which is monitored by the DLRG on weekends and during school holidays. The beach was created through voluntary work by members of the Hammestrandinitiative e.V. to give Worpswede families and visitors access to the Hamme at Worpswede's former bathing bay.
