History

Wiesederfehn lends its name to the more northern village of Wiesede. It is an East Frisian moor colony, founded in 1796. In the 19th century, the place belonged to the parish of Reepsholt, and from 1903 to 1914 to the parish of Marcardsmoor. On 1 July 1972, the previously independent community became part of Wiesmoor.
