Wengern was mentioned under the name Wyngern as early as 800, at the time of Charlemagne. Wengern was first mentioned in a document in 1003. On January 1, 1970, it was incorporated into the city of Wetter (Ruhr) through the law on the reorganization of the Ennepe-Ruhr district of December 16, 1969. Until then, Wengern was a municipality that was part of the then Volmarstein office.
Wengern has a historic town center with some listed buildings.

South of the Ruhr is Wengern with its small historic town center worth seeing as a district of Wetter surrounded by landscape protection areas. The Elbsche is an approximately 8 km long tributary of the Ruhr, rises near Albringhausen (Wetter) and flows into the Ruhr near Wengern.
