history

The first human traces in Wichmannsburg are barrows from the Bronze Age on the northeastern edge of the town.

In the 10th century Wichmann I the Elder had a castle built on what is now the local area to protect Billung's property against the Wends . The current name of the place goes back to Wichmann I. Structural remains of the castle are no longer preserved. The castle was on a small island in the Ilmenau near today's Burgstrasse.

In 1966 the previously independent Wichmannsburg became part of the municipality of Bienenbüttel.

The historical center, which is still preserved today, concentrates on the area around St. George's Church . In the course of the 20th century, Wichmannsburg developed along today's Kreisstraße 1 into a row village. Towards the end of the 20th century, the place was expanded considerably with new development areas on the Sandberg.
