From the period immediately after the end of the Second World War , the so-called "Poland Era" (1945 to 1949) is particularly remembered. The area around Wieterheim was used by the British military administration to group together the Eastern Europeans who had been abducted in the Third Reich and who were freed from German labor deportation after the war. Sometimes the German residents had to evacuate their houses in the municipality for the Poles on the instructions of the British occupying forces .
