history

Wiedemar was first mentioned in documents as Villa Wedemar in 1272. Wiesenena was first mentioned in a document in 1242 (see HOV) as the property of the knight Hermann von Wiesenena and Klitschmar as Gliczene in 1349. The name also comes from Slavic and should mean something like "place at the source".

All today's districts of Wiedemar belonged to the Electoral Saxon office of Delitzsch until 1815 . Only Kölsa formed an enclave belonging to the Amt Schkeuditz in the Amt Delitzsch. As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the places including Kölsa came to Prussia and in 1816 were assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony , to which they belonged until 1952. In the course of the district reform in the GDR in 1952, they were assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Leipzig district, which was added to the Delitzsch district in 1994 .

The waste company SDR Biotec for hazardous waste was closed in 2011.

On January 1, 2013, the previous community of Wiedemar merged with the communities of Neukyhna and Zwochau to form the new unified community of Wiedemar. Until then, the municipalities worked together in the Wiedemar administrative association , which was dissolved when the municipalities merged. The district of Kyhna was set as the seat of the administration.
