==History== Schiffdorf belonged to the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen (which was established as a principality of imperial immediacy in 1180). In 1380, under the reign of Prince-Archbishop Albert II, knights of the family von Mandelsloh and other Verdian and Bremian robber barons ravaged burghers of Bremen and people in the entire Prince-Archbishopric. In 1381, the city's troops successfully ended the brigandage and captured the castle of Bederkesa and pertaining bailiwicks, including Schiffdorf. In 1386, the city of Bremen made the noble family, holding the estates of Altluneburg (a part of today's Schiffdorf), its vassal.
