**Wenum-Wiesel** is a twin village in the municipality of [Apeldoorn](/source/Apeldoorn), in the province of [Gelderland](/source/Gelderland) in the [Netherlands](/source/Netherlands). In 1978, the hamlets of Wenum and Wiesel merged into a village.

## History

Wenum was first attested in 1335 as "in der Merck to Wenen",[3] however the [watermill](/source/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](/source/William_III_of_England) bought approximately 100 square kilometres (39 sq mi) of forest and heath in the area as a [crown land](/source/Crown_land). The land included the village of Wiesel. He intended to build his palace in [Hoog Soeren](/source/Hoog_Soeren), but changed his mind and bought [Het Loo Palace](/source/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](/source/Amsterdam%E2%80%93Zutphen_railway) was completed, and [William III of the Netherlands](/source/William_III_of_the_Netherlands) wanted a side track to his palace. In 1887, the [Apeldoorn–Zwolle railway](/source/Apeldoorn%E2%80%93Zwolle_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](/source/Gristmill) [Grondzeiler Wenum](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grondzeiler_Wenum&action=edit&redlink=1) [[nl](https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grondzeiler_Wenum)] 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]
