history
During excavations on the Wennunger Sporn, remains from the Early Bronze Age ( Aunjetitz culture ) and the Late Bronze Age (Ha-A1) were found. This includes numerous oven pits, as well as remains of briquetage
Wennungen probably got its name from its location on a bend in the river Unstrut . 786 was first mentioned as Wenninge . The site is said to have originated before the fall of the old Thuringian kingdom, as evidence from excavations indicates. The Hersfeld Monastery had property and feudal rights in this region early on, and the Bishop of Bamberg later secured rights in this area that existed until the Thirty Years' War .
The nobles of Querfurt were enfeoffed with Wennungen in 1450, but could not stay in the place for long, but lost their property to the noble families residing in castle divisions . The place itself was under the Freyburg Office , which fell to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 .
