Weiteveen is a village in the Netherlands and is part of the Emmen municipality in Drenthe.
Weiteveen started in the 1850s by Hannoverian settlers who settled in the Amsterdamscheveld.
[3] They built sod houses, started excavating the peat, and planting buckwheat on the burnt fields.
[4] In 1954, the border between Emmen and Schoonebeek was redrawn, and the two settlements merged as Weiteveen.
Money was raised among the Catholics in the Netherlands to buy a new tabernacle.
