**Stemwede** (ʃtɛmˈveːdə; nds: *Stemwäide*) is a municipality in the [Minden-Lübbecke](/source/Minden-L%C3%BCbbecke) district, in [North Rhine-Westphalia](/source/North_Rhine-Westphalia), [Germany](/source/Germany). Following a recent regional reorganization, in 1973, the former districts of Dielingen-Wehdem and Levern were consolidated and the district of "Stemwede" created. The new name was chosen because for a thousand years the area along the Stemweder Berg (mountain) was popularly referred to as Stemwede.[2]
