About Wenden

Wenden is a network in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It belongs to the Olpe district inside the Sauerland. It lies 10 km south of Olpe and approx. 20 km northwest of Siegen. The origins of the name Wenden aren't recognized for positive. Probably it has to do with the location because on the turn of the primary millennium within its region the lands of two Germanic human beings, the Franks and the Saxons met. There is no expertise as to whilst the location was first settled. The names of a few villages like Girkhausen, Bebbingen, Döingen, Gerlingen and Ottfingen in addition to the names of lost villages and homesteads offer a few clues.

Most possibly agreement need to have taken place no later than around 900 to 1000 AD. Perhaps the area knew settlements even in advance because the names of neighborhood brooks and streams like Elbe, Albe, Wende, Bigge, Benze and Binse trace. The first documented record of Wenden dates back to 1011. By that time a monastery had been based in Herford and given land in Wendenne, that's said to mean Wenden. At the beginning of the 14th century a chapel Wendene capella is mentioned in a duplicate of a much older tax check in of the Archdiocese of Cologne. Watersheds have been Wenden’s limits for centuries.
