Geography
Included in Wohlsdorf is the village of Crüchern, which was also formerly a separate district. Much of the surrounding area is gently rolling farmland, broken up only by about of woods dividing Crüchern from Wohlsdorf. The river Ziethe forms a border between the Wohlsdorf subdistrict and the village of Mölz, a sub-district of Kleinpaschleben. The Ziethe flows first southwest then southeast along the border of the woods that stretch alongside Crüchern, forming a border between farmland and village of Wohlsdorf. It bends again southeasterly and around the western edge of Biendorf, another village-sub-district of Bradenburg on the southern border of Wohlsdorf.
Transportation
north of the village of Crüchern, Landesstraße 149 (L149) meets and becomes the continuation of federal road Bundesstraße 185 (B185) as it meets Bundesstraße 6
The Bundesstraße 6 (abbr. B6) is a German federal highway running from Bremerhaven on the North Sea coast in a southeasterly direction through the states of Lower Saxony, Bremen, Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony to Görlitz on the Polish border.
