History

Wenum was first attested in 1335 as "in der Merck to Wenen", [3] however the watermill was already mentioned in 1313. [4] The etymology of the name is unclear. [3] Wiesel was first attested in 1337 as Wiessel, and means pasture near a forest. [5]

In 1684, William III of Orange bought approximately 100 square kilometres (39 sq mi) of forest and heath in the area as a crown land. The land included the village of Wiesel. He intended to build his palace in Hoog Soeren, but changed his mind and bought Het Loo Palace in Apeldoorn. [6] [7] In 1840, Wenum was home to 256 people, and Wiesel to 243 people. [8]

In 1876, the Amsterdam–Zutphen railway was completed, and William III of the Netherlands wanted a side track to his palace. In 1887, the Apeldoorn–Zwolle railway line was completed and partially used the side track. A railway stop was constructed at Wenum. The station closed in 1938. [9] [10] In 1840, the gristmill Grondzeiler Wenum  [ nl ] was built in Wenum. The current windmill dates from 1913. [11]

In 1978, the hamlets of Wenum and Wiesel merged into the twin village Wenum-Wiesel. The hamlets are still somewhat separated. The place name signs are chaotic and sometimes use the combined name, or the individual hamlet. The village has a combined school, and village council. [8]
