history
The integrated community Rehden was formed through a voluntary merger in 1972 and consists of the five member communities Barver, Dickel, Hemsloh, Rehden and Wetschen.
In 2019 it was decided to start negotiations to transform it into a unified church. In March and April 2020, the council of the integrated community and the councils of the communities of Barver, Hemsloh, Rehden and Wetschen voted unanimously for a conversion, but the Dickel community council 4: 3 against. As a result, the project initially failed because all municipalities had to agree. However, some citizens felt they were not well represented by the Dickel local council and submitted a referendum. After a heated discussion, there was a referendum. With over 80% participation in the vote, the result of the council was confirmed with 55% of the votes, so that the conversion does not take place.
