history

Place name and first mention

The place was first mentioned as Wicstede in 1340. Around the year 1420 the old place name Wichstede appeared. The church was founded in the 13th century. Through the church, the name expanded to Kirchwistedt.

The place name Kirchwistedt is to be separated from Wistedt (municipality of Tostedt): 1458 Wiste, 1495 Wiste, 1498 to Wiste and from Wistedt (district of Rotenburg, Wümme). It is derived from "wik", which means "settlement, village". It can be assumed that the original name was "settlement point".

Local history

In 1859 the offices in the Kingdom of Hanover were reduced. The Beverstedt office was dissolved and the Kirchwistedt parish was closed and assigned to the Bremervörde office. The parish remained near Bremervörde when the offices in Prussia were dissolved on April 1, 1885 and districts were formed for them.

In 2007 the Kirchwistedt parish celebrated its 700th birthday, for which a 336-page chronicle was published.

Incorporations

The two formerly independent communities Horst and Stemmermühlen were incorporated into the Kirchwistedt community on January 29, 1929.

In 1939 the former communities of Ahe and Altwistedt followed. In 1945 they became independent again and in the course of the regional reform in Lower Saxony on March 1, 1974, they were repeatedly incorporated into Kirchwistedt. At the same time, Kirchwistedt moved from the Bremervörde district to the Beverstedt municipality ( Wesermünde district ).

Since November 1, 2011 Kirchwistedt has been a village in the unified municipality of Beverstedt in the district of Cuxhaven.
