history
The first written mention of Wencenrode dates back to 1349. The village was owned by the nobility for centuries , with the Lords of Löwenstein and the Counts of Waldeck sharing rulership in the place for most of the time . Towards the end of the 17th century, the Landgraves of Hessen-Kassel also made serious claims. The dispute between Waldeck and Hessen-Kassel escalated, and in 1705 the landgrave bailiff von Borken occupied the village and took it over for his sovereign. The protest that Waldeck then lodged with the Reichshofrat in Vienna ended after eleven years with Wenzigerode being awarded Waldeck in 1716. However, this was not the end of the dispute, and after more than twenty years of further arguments, Prince Karl August von Waldeck and Pyrmont, who tried to reduce the debt burden of his small country, took up all his rights in Wenzigerode, including church patronage, for a corresponding sum in 1738 Exit Hessen-Kassel.
With the annexation of Kurhessen by Prussia in 1866 , Wenzigerode also came to Prussia. Since the dissolution of Prussia, Wenzigerode has belonged to Hesse .
After the Fritzlar Air Base was set up in the spring of 1938, a 6- hectare wooded area about 2 km northeast of Wenzigerode, in the back forest, was used as a target area for bombs by Junkers Ju 88 in dive-fighting .
As part of the municipal reform, the previously independent municipality was incorporated into Bad Zwesten on December 31, 1971.
