geography
Geographical location
Wendhausen is about 10 km northeast of Braunschweig city center. In terms of traffic, Wendhausen is connected to Braunschweig and Wolfsburg via the L 295 and to the A 2 via the Braunschweig-Ost motorway junction . The Schunter flows through the village in two arms, which flow around a 400 m wide and about 2 km long Werder in the lowland .
Location description
In the center of the village is Wendhausen Castle with a larger farm that has been converted into residential property and a retirement home since the 1990s. Characteristic is the five-wing Wendhausen windmill on the Dettmersberg, visible from afar at a height of 17 meters . The Dutch mill was built in 1837 by the brothers Karl and Eduard Vieweg as a replacement for the water mill on the Schunter, which they needed to make paper. In 1980, the Wendhausen community acquired the mill, which has been repaired and maintained by an association since 1983. From 2013, extensive structural damage was repaired. The mill is now a station on the Lower Saxony Mill Road and the only operational windmill with five blades in Germany.
history
The place, previously known as Wenethusen , was first mentioned in 1125. The name indicates settlement by the Slavic tribe of the Wends , although there is no other evidence of this. In 1495 the place belonged to the Principality of Wolfenbüttel . Wendhausen Castle, which can only have been a moated castle due to its location near the Schunter, was first mentioned in 1388. After being destroyed several times, the wealthy ducal politician Philipp Ludwig Probst had Wendhausen Castle built on its foundation walls from 1683 to 1688.
The canton of Wendhausen existed from 1807 to 1813, the main town of which was Wendhausen.
On July 1, 1972, Wendhausen was incorporated into the community of teaching.
