The first written reference to the community can be found in a document from King Arnolf of Carinthia , who on June 30, 892 gave Count Ekbert , among other possessions, 36 Hufen in Bardengau in Wrestedt.

There were three manors in Wrestedt, two of which still belong to the Lüneburg knighthood . The manor Wrestedt I came shortly after the von Bodendieck family died out in 1667 to the noble family Grote ; it still belongs to Count Grote today; Wrestedt III belongs to the von Lenthe .
