History
Weerdinge is an esdorp which developed in the 10th century, on the road from Emmen naar Exloo.[1] It was first mentioned in 1327 as Weerdighen. The name means "the people of Wardo".[2] In 1905, a railway line between Emmen and Stadskanaal was laid and a train station was built in Weerdinge. The line closed in 1963.[1] In 1932, it was home to 977 people.[3] The gristmill De Hondsrug was built in 1910 and was restored in 1988.[1]
In 1978, Weerdinge was annexed by neighbouring Emmen, and has become a neighbourhood.[4]
The Pair of Weerdinge
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". On 29 June 1904, a pair of bog bodies were discovered by Hilbrand Gringhuis. Initially, it was thought that it was a man and a woman, but it has been established that they are two unrelated men. They have been dated 92 BC to 70 AD. Both have probably been killed.[5] Both bodies are on display at the Drents Museum.[6]
