History

Wittenmoor was originally a Church Village and a Manor capable of farming. Wittenmoor was first mentioned as Widmore, in 1140, in a document. The Wittenmoor Church was built in 1895 on the remains of an old cobble foundation. The Vollenschier village church is 20 years older. On 30 September 1928, the Estate Districts of Wintermoor were united with the rural community of Wittenmoor. until December 31 2009, Wintermoor was an independent municipality of the associated Vollenschier district. On June 2009, through a territorial amendment, the municipal council of the municipality of Wintermoor decided the municipality of Wintermoor would be incorporated into the city of Stendal. This agreement was approved by the county lower municipal supervisor and entered into force on January 1st 2010.
