Warmenau lies on the western edge of the historic landscape of the Vorsfelder Werder . The Werder, a glacial ridge of falls here from the Valley of the Little Aller . It flows west of Warmenau in a north-south direction, just before its confluence with the Aller , which flows south of Warmenau from east to west.

To the north-west and east of the new development areas there are large industrial areas with reference to the Volkswagen plant , which is only around one kilometer south.

history

Towards the end of the Bronze Age around 700 BC A settlement existed east of today's place in the high bank area of ​​the Aller, which probably existed for around 700 years. It was discovered and archaeologically examined in 2018 before a storage building was built.

To the Iron Age around 500 BC Urn graves found in a field near Warmenau are dated.

In 1309 the Vorsfelder Werder was mentioned with a number of unnamed villages. In 1505 and around 1510 Warmenau was first mentioned as Warmenauwe or Warmenawe in documents from von Bartensleben , who were the owners of Vorsfelder Werder until 1742. A map from 1759, the map of the Feldmark Warmenau in the Vorsfelde office, measured by Carl Christoph Wilhelm Fleischer in 1759 , is in the Lower Saxony State Archives (Wolfenbüttel location) . This map shows Warmenau as a dead end village that existed as a round with 19 properties in the meadowland of the Allerniederung south of the Celler Heerstrasse.

Around 1800 Warmenau belonged to the Vorsfelde office in the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel . During the French era , Kästorf came to the canton of Vorsfelde in the Helmstedt district , in the Oker department of the Kingdom of Westphalia .

The Warmenau local fire brigade was founded in 1928, and Warmenau has also had a youth fire brigade since 1966.

War memorial

In the course of the establishment of the Volkswagen factory on August 2, 1938, the municipality of Warmenau was declared a residential area with the 7th ordinance on residential areas, which, however, initially had little practical importance due to the soon-to-start Second World War and the associated restrictions in residential construction.

As a result of the flight and expulsion of Germans from Central and Eastern Europe from 1945 to 1950 , the population of Warmenau increased from 258 (1939) to 471 (1950), of which 198 were displaced in 1950 . Warmenau belonged to the Helmstedt district as an independent municipality before it was incorporated into Wolfsburg on July 1, 1972 under the Wolfsburg Act . In 1972 the school was also closed. In 2001 a new cemetery chapel was inaugurated to replace the previous building. In 2003 the village community center was built north of the old village center.
