Winnigstedt is a municipality in the district of Wolfenbüttel, in Lower Saxony, Germany.
The southern quarter of Mattierzoll has been a border area between different territories since centuries. After World War II, it bordered on the Soviet occupation zone, later the German Democratic Republic. In the 1950s, the border village on the western side became a railway junction. Here the railway Helmstedt-Holzminden was connected with the Braunschweig-Schöningen railway and the private railway Mattierzoll-Heudeber.
