The district of Wingendorf also includes the hamlet Äpfelbach and the residential areas Düsternseifen, Fallenbach, Gomperten, Heidenhof, Schloß and Forsthaus Junkernthal, Rosenthal, Scheuerthof, Winnersbach and Hof and Forsthaus Würden.

history

Wingendorf is only mentioned as existing in 1746, but is certainly much older. A local noble family "the von Wingendorf" (spelling also Wiingerdorff, Wyngerdorff) can already be found in the historical records from 1370 to 1393.

In addition to agriculture, mining used to be practiced in Wingendorf - as almost everywhere in the area. The most important ore mine "Glücksbrunnen" was closed in 1930.

On June 7, 1969, the previously independent community of Wingendorf with 478 inhabitants at that time was incorporated into Kirchen (Sieg).

Wingendorf is designated as a local district of the city of Kirchen (Sieg) and has a local advisory board and an honorary mayor .

The local advisory board consists of five advisory board members. In the local elections on May 26, 2019 , these advisory board members were elected by majority vote.

The mayor is Gerold Wäschenbach (independent) (as of November 2019). In the direct election on May 26, 2019, he was able to prevail against the previous incumbent Torsten Schmidt (CDU) with a share of 56.16% of the vote.

The plan to unite the districts of Wingendorf and Wehbach after the local elections in 2019 was stopped in 2018 after a unanimous rejection by the two local councils concerned by the churches city council.
