history

Traces of settlement have been dated to the 12th to 13th centuries. The village name suggests a Wendish foundation. Witzemer comes from the Old Slavic vysokü (German: high) and morava (floodplain) and indicates the location in the upper reaches of the Kleine Aller . The village was desolate until around 1473 and was then rebuilt as a Rundling . The name has been adapted to the German language. In 1583 Wiswedel was in an exclave of the Margraviate of Brandenburg in the area of the Principality of Lüneburg , which reached as far as Grußendorf . In 1692 Wiswedel was transferred to the Principality of Lüneburg in the Treaty of Wallstawe through an exchange of territory. The first village school in Wiswedel was established in 1771. The students had previously gone to school in Voitze. In 1882 a local cemetery was established. Around 1900 numerous houses were built outside of the Rundling so that the place got the character of a street village . In 1909 the Wittingen – Oebisfelde railway was opened, running east of Wiswedel. There was also the Benitz-Wiswedel station, which was operated by passenger traffic until 1974.

In 1919, 171 people lived in Wiswedel. By 1939 the number had dropped to 141; by 1950 it rose to 239 because of the influx of refugees. 1984 the population was 107. In the same year there were eight farms there.

The municipality Wiswedel became part of the joint municipality Brome on July 1, 1965. On March 1, 1974 it was incorporated into the town of Brome and thus on March 15, 1974 part of the newly founded joint municipality of Brome.
