history
At the end of the 11th century, a castle was built in the area of the municipality of Wietzen, district Stumpenhusen, but nothing has survived today. The castle hill in the Stumpenhusen district, still recognizable as a moth in the 19th century, was about 40 m in diameter and was completely leveled. The noble lords sat here until 1204, from 1181 Counts of Stumpenhusen , ancestors of the Counts of Hoya , to whom ownership passed through the Counts of Wölpe after 1301, which means Wietzen lost its historical importance. The construction of the remarkable St. Gangolf Church , which still exists today, goes back to this aristocratic seat in the 12th century.

In the course of the territorial and administrative reform, the municipality of Wietzen joined the Samtgemeinde Marklohe on April 1, 1970. On March 1, 1974, the previously independent municipality of Holte was incorporated into the municipality of Wietzen.

Culture and sights
Museums
Heimatstube Wietzen : In 1984 a Heimatstube was set up in the "old school" by Heinrich Lüdeke, the local curator, on behalf of the Wietzen local council. Here the rural working world, old handicrafts and village living culture should be presented. Expanded for the first time in 1995, the Heimatstube today u. a. About carpenters, painters, wheelwright and blacksmiths workshops. A bakery is also available. In 2007, the old station shed from 1922 was moved to this location and restored by the Friends of the Heimatstube. Large old agricultural machines are particularly exhibited here. The Wietzen Home Office has had a school and museum pedagogical collaboration with the Wietzen Primary School for many years.
Wietzen history workshop : It was opened on the initiative of Helmut Rode in January 2011 and has the motto of the history workshops founded in Scandinavia in the 1970s : "Dig - where you stand". The village history of Wietzen should be made visible according to the statement of Hans von Keler "History is not just what has happened, but something layered - that is, the ground on which we stand and build".
The Wietzen history workshop would like to work out the flow of village history "in order to give meaning to our life, the life of our reference group, our current" class "" (quoted by Rode). The history workshop sees itself as part of the Wietzen home parlor and works closely with the Wietzen e. V. together. So far (as of December 2011) a current flyer "Wietzener Geschichtsverbindungen", the brochure "The St. Gangolf Church in Wietzen - the Counts of Stumpenhusen" and a volume with the stories and poems by Elfriede Thies have been published.
Home care
Village culture circle Wietzen : The rural youth Wietzen and the local mixed choir founded the village culture circle Wietzen in 1962. Their concern was the use of an open-air stage to care for and preserve old local and rural cultural assets through choir singing and folk dancing.
Today the village culture group organizes the lecture series "Wietzen - as it used to be", reports in Low German about life in the old days and presents the emergence and development of Wietzen businesses. Every year several hikes are offered in the village of Wietzen and Holte and around. In summer, a summer festival with church service in Low German, lots of cultural entertainment and the famous butter cake from the stone oven attracts young and old to the Mühlbach open-air stage. Citizenship and community spirit always keep a home in the village, and Wietzen remains an important living space.
