**Wingerode** is a municipality in the district of [Eichsfeld](/source/Eichsfeld_(district)) in [Thuringia](/source/Thuringia), Germany. In 1996, Wingerode celebrated its 850th anniversary. It was founded in 1146.

In 1174 [Henry the Lion](/source/Henry_the_Lion), Duke of Bavaria and Saxony, bought the village from [Volkenroda Abbey](/source/Volkenroda_Abbey). Since the 17th century, the local Ignatius chapel has been the object of pilgrimages. Wingerode belonged to the [Electorate of Mainz](/source/Electorate_of_Mainz) until the secularization of 1802 and was subject to the jurisdiction of the von Hanstein family. From 1802 to 1807, the village was [Prussian](/source/Prussia), and then it came to the [Kingdom of Westphalia](/source/Kingdom_of_Westphalia). From 1815 to 1945 it was part of the Prussian [Province of Saxony](/source/Province_of_Saxony). At the end of World War II, it was in the [Soviet occupation zone](/source/Soviet_occupation_zone) and in 1949 became part of [East Germany](/source/East_Germany). From 1961 until [reunification](/source/German_reunification) in 1990, Wingerode was affected by the closure of the nearby [inner German border](/source/Inner_German_border). Since 1990, the municipality is part of the re-established state of [Thuringia](/source/Thuringia).
