Wendisch Evern is a municipality in the district of Lüneburg, in Lower Saxony, Germany.

On 4 May 1945 on the Timeloberg hill at the edge of Deutsch Evern a German delegation under the command of Hans-Georg von Friedeburg signed a document in the presence of British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery for the unconditional surrender of the three German armies operating in Northwest Germany.

This went into force on 5 May at 7 a.m. With the signing of the surrender agreement the Second World War in Northwest Germany came to an end.
