Wakendorf II is a municipality in the district of Segeberg, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
The name "Wakendorf II" was instituted in Prussian times to distinguish it from a different town about 20 km away, also called Wakendorf. The distinct name of these two towns is purely for communal distinction, and has no historical background.
A citizens' initiative attempted to rename the village in Wakendorf an der Alster through a signing action. This request was not considered admissible by the local authority of Segeberg, as formal guidelines such as the date of birth of the signatories in the signature list were not listed.
On June 22, 2006, the municipal council decided to retain the name Wakendorf II.
