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 1919, the Mary Queen of Peace Church was built in the village.[3] In 1924, a protestant settlement appeared.[5] Up to 1954, the area was known as Nieuw-Schoonebekerveld.[4] In 1954, the border between Emmen and Schoonebeek was redrawn, and the two settlements merged as Weiteveen. The name is a combination of buckwheat and bog.[4][5]
In 1925, the tabernacle of the Mary Queen of Peace Church was stolen. Money was raised among the Catholics in the Netherlands to buy a new tabernacle. A week later, the stolen item was discovered in the moorland.[6][7] A chapel has been constructed at the site where the tabernacle was found.[3]
