==Career==
Wietersheim was born on 18 April 1900 in Neuland, district of Löwenberg, in Silesia, a province in the Kingdom of Prussia. Today it is Niwnice within Lwówek Śląski County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. He was the son of the Chamberlain and Ultimogeniture Walter von Wietersheim (1863–1919) by his marriage to Armgard von Colmar (1863–1949). His older brother, Mark von Wietersheim, was a member of the Nazi Party and served in the State Assembly of Prussia and also as district administrator (''Landrat'') of the county of Löwenberg.
Wietersheim served in the First World War as a ''Fähnrich'' (ensign) in the German Army. For his service he received the Iron Cross (2nd Class) and in 1919 was promoted to ''Leutnant'' (second lieutenant). As a result of the Treaty of Versailles, which was signed on 28 June 1919, the German Army was downsized to a standing army of 100,000 men and renamed the ''Reichswehr'' (Defence of the Reslm) in the era of the Weimar Republic. Wietersheim was one of the 4,000 officers retained in the new army. From 1924 he served with ''Reiter-Regiment 12'', the 12th cavalry regiment. He was transferred to the military riding school in Hanover and successfully participated in numerous equestrian tournaments from 1924 to 1929. In 1934 he was appointed as squadron chief of the 4th Cavalry Regiment.〔Mitcham (2006), p. 107.〕 He also served on the staff of the 3rd Military District (''Wehrkreis''), before transferring to the Panzer (tank) force in 1938 with the position of ''Adjutant'' (aide) with the 3rd Panzer Division. With this unit he participated in the German invasion of Poland, which marked the beginning of the Second World War in Europe. ''Major'' Wietersheim took command of the ''Kradschützen-Bataillon'' 1 (1st motorcycle infantry battalion) of the 1st Panzer Division, which at the time was under the command of Friedrich Kirchner. He led this battalion in the Battle of France.
