history

St. George's Church in winter

The megalithic systems at Westerwanna are located west of Westerwanna in the moor and in the Süderheide. The place was first mentioned in 1139 as "Wanen". The St. Paul Monastery , at the gates of Bremen, owned 1½ yards in Wanna at that time. There is evidence of a chapel in Süderleda in the 13th century (around 1230). The right to propose the pastor later lay with the Neuenwalde monastery . In 1239, Duke Albert I of the still undivided Duchy of Saxony sold the parish people of Süderleda a path to Osterwanna (today: the "Neue Trift") and a drainage canal to the Emmelke . Since the 14th century there was also a church in Westerwanna, which was consecrated to St. George . Around 1369 a new church was built in Westerwanna, probably using material from the broken Süderleda chapel.

Between Michaelmas and Christmas 1526, Wanna became Protestant.

In 1590 the meadow and moorland ( common land ) in the east of the municipality was divided between the already existing farms. The moor weather system is likely to fall during this time as an extension of the southern weather of the Holländerhufen in Ihlienworth-Westerende, to the west, towards the Süderledaer Hof. After about 1650, in addition to agriculture, the economic importance of peat cutting on the northern edge of the Ahlenmoors increased. The dried peat was mostly shipped via the Emmelke and Medem to Otterndorf .

Since 1915 the cultivation of the heather and moorland south of Wanna has been intensified. This is where the Ahlen-Falkenberg settlement came into being, which has had its own chapel since 1951 .

In 1970 Wanna became a member of the Hadeln Samtgemeinde , in 1972 the Wanna municipality joined the Sietland Samtgemeinde formed two years earlier .

After 1945, because of denazification , a rune was removed from the silver urn image from the original coat of arms.

Blazon : " Divided by black and green , covered with a silver urn ."
Justification of the coat of arms: The urn covered with ingrun (zig-zag) reminds of the numerous prehistoric finds in the Feldmark of Westerwanna. Black and green are the Hadler colors.
