history

On July 1, 1972, the communities of Bollensen, Drohe, Emern, Kahlstorf, Könau, Kroetze (until September 10, 1936 Kroitze) and Ostedt were incorporated. Gavendorf, Groß Pretzier, Klein Pretzier and Kroetzmühle also belonged to Wieren. On November 1, 2011, the community was dissolved and merged with Wrestedt and Stadensen to form the new community of Wrestedt.

Old names: 1339 Wiren, 1342 Wiren, 1357 Wyren

The place name is apparently named after the location at a bend in the Ilmenau. It is based on Middle Low German “we” for “winding”, so it means “place at the bend”.

religion

In addition to the old church from the 12th century, there is the St. James Church from 1911.
