Wedde (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈʋɛdə]) is a village in the municipality Westerwolde in the province Groningen in the Netherlands.
Most of Westerwolde was a raised bog with few inhabitants, however it formed a natural border between Groningen, East Frisia and the Prince-Bishopric of Münster, and therefore changed ownership many times during its history.
[7] In 1362, Egge I Addinga was given the heerlijkheid Westerwolde by the bishop of Münster,[6] and started constructing the Wedderborg, a castle, in Wedde around 1370.
Between 1587 and 1597, witch trials were held at Wedderborg, and 21 women and 1 man were burned at the stake at Geselberg.
[11] Wedde is located centeṛ̣ west of the municipality Westerwolde, in the east of the province Groningen, in the northeast of the Netherlands.
