Saint Wendel is an unincorporated community located on the Vanderburgh-Posey county line in the U.S. state of Indiana.
The community is named for St. Wendel Parish, which in turn is named after Wendelin of Trier, patron saint of Wendel Wassmer, who originally owned the grounds used for this Catholic church building.
[3] Prior to December, 1841, Mass had been celebrated in St. Wendel parish from the time of its creation in the home of Martin Kohl, but in Christmas week of the year mentioned, the congregation—composed of twenty families—prepared the material and erected within five days a log structure as a house of worship[4] named in honor of Wendel Wassmer's patron saint, Wendelin of Trier.
[6] A post office was established at Saint Wendel in 1852, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1907.
