history

Until March 1, 1974, the Kirchweyhe district, together with Lahausen and Dreye, belonged to the previously independent municipality of Kirchweyhe. At this point in time, the communities of Kirchweyhe, Sudweyhe and Leeste were combined to form the unitary community of Weyhe.

In 1998 the Cooperative Comprehensive School Kirchweyhe was inaugurated - in addition to the Cooperative Comprehensive School in Leeste, which had existed since 1973, it was the second school center of the Weyhe community.

In March 2013, a young man was critically injured in front of the train station during a fight by a German-born man with Turkish citizenship and died four days later. The Verden District Court suspected that several people were responsible for the fatal injuries of the deceased man, but could only prove guilty to one perpetrator, who was sentenced to five years and nine months in juvenile prison in February 2014. After the crime, the offender's Turkish citizenship was discussed in various media. When it became clear that right-wing extremists began to instrumentalize the case - u. a. the party "Dierechte" registered a rally, as did the NPD - the Kirchweyhe community and various civic alliances tried to prevent this. Mayor Frank Lemmermann (SPD) and other administrative staff were then insulted and threatened. The municipality filed a complaint in 115 cases. In October 2014 it became clear that the judge who led the trial against the main perpetrator had also been severely threatened by right-wing extremists.
