Wiesentheid is a municipality in the district of Kitzingen in Bavaria in Germany.
History
It was first mentioned in 918 as "Wisenheida". Mediatization in 1806 brought the former county of Schönborn into the Grand Duchy of Würzburg, along with which it became part of Bavaria in 1814. A municipal edict of 1818 formed today's Wiesentheid.
