history

The place is mentioned for the first time around 1120 as Winisson in the Helmarshausen tradition codex . The monastery exchanged one hoof in the village for another in Selithe ( Sehlde ). Around 1200 a mistress Mechtild gave her daughter Jutta and her husband extensive inheritance, including two hooves belonging to Ministerial Gerlach from Wensen . After the 1st Spiegelberg feud (1226/1238) Weenzen belonged to the Homburg rule. The noble lords of Homburg purposefully expanded their rule, u. a. they set up the office of Lauenstein (1359 at the latest), of which Weenzen belonged to the Oberbörde. On March 3, 1387 Knappe Herman Bok van Rittaghessen (desolate near Salzhemmendorf) certified claims for payment instead of and for his deceased brother Wulfhard by the noblemen Heinrich and Gebhard von Homburg. a. to have received an instruction of 30 marks of soldered silver on the Steinkoten in Salzhemmendorf and on a farm with two hooves of land in Wensen .

In 1409, Weenzen fell to the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel with the rulership of Homburg . The rule of Homburg was added to the Bailiwick of Calenberg. With the Guelf inheritance of 1432, Weenzen came to the newly formed Principality of Calenberg . In the second Spiegelberg feud (1433) the dukes of Braunschweig-Lüneburg were forced to pledge the Homburg property to the Hildesheim monastery . The bishops of Hildesheim passed them on to various noble families as pledge. When Bishop Johann IV wanted to redeem the pledge in 1516, the then lord of the castle of Lauenstein, Burchard von Saldern, refused to accept the money. The resulting dispute erupted in the Hildesheim collegiate feud . The Homburg estates fell back to the Welfs in 1523.

On June 23, 1556, Hans von Wenden announced that he had received fiefdoms from Duke Heinrich the Younger of Brunswick and Lüneburg in numerous places, including Wensen , which the deceased Ludolf von Wenden had previously received from the aforementioned Duke wore. During the Thirty Years' War , the Lauenstein office again fell to the Hildesheim Monastery from 1630 to 1633. After 1633, however, the Guelphs prevailed. Weenzen remained under Guelph rule until 1866, only interrupted by the French years 1807 to 1814. This ended with the conquest of the Kingdom of Hanover by Prussia.

With the Prussian administrative reform, Weenzen was integrated into the eastern district of the Hameln district. Until February 28, 1974, the community belonged to the Hameln-Pyrmont district and on March 1, 1974, it was incorporated into the Alfeld (Leine) district as part of the Duingen community . In 1977 there was a new assignment to the Holzminden district . The affiliation in the district of Hildesheim took place on July 1, 1981. On November 1, 2016, the member communities of the Duingen joint community, including Weenzen, merged to form the new Duingen district.
