Weerdinge is a neighbourhood and former village of Emmen in the Dutch province of Drenthe.

History

Weerdinge is an esdorp which developed in the 10th century, on the road from Emmen naar Exloo.[3] It was first mentioned in 1327 as Weerdighen. The name means "the people of Wardo".[4] In 1905, a railway line between Emmen and Stadskanaal was laid and a train station was built in Weerdinge. The line closed in 1963.[3] In 1932, it was home to 977 people.[5] The gristmill De Hondsrug was built in 1910 and was restored in 1988.[3]

In 1978, Weerdinge was annexed by neighbouring Emmen, and has become a neighbourhood.[6]

The Pair of Weerdinge

Main article: Weerdinge Men

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.[7] Both bodies are on display at the Drents Museum.[8]
