Weiteveen is a village in the Netherlands and is part of the Emmen municipality in Drenthe.
== History == Weiteveen started in the 1850s by Hannoverian settlers who settled in the Amsterdamscheveld. They built sod houses, started excavating the peat, and planting buckwheat on the burnt fields. In 1919, the Mary Queen of Peace Church was built in the village. In 1924, a protestant settlement appeared. Up to 1954, the area was known as Nieuw-Schoonebekerveld. 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.
