In the municipality of Göhrde in the neighboring district of Lüchow-Dannenberg there is a village called "Weddrien", which is also located in the Drawehn moraine ridge , more precisely in a valley. Around the year 1390, some people from Weddrien migrated to the southwest (SW) and settled on the Hohe Weddrien, which they named so, and called the village Hohenweddrien, because of the Hohe Weddrien, which is 105 meters above sea level, differently than in their previous home, the valley.
