history

Land plan of Weferlingen with the location of Weferlingen Castle

Weferlingen Castle stood in Weferlingen , the remains of which today consist of a moat and a high double wall. The castle of those of Weferlingen was probably built because of the trade route from Hildesheim , which was expanded in 1400 and which was to be continued eastward in two directions from then on. The southern one ran over the northern bank heights of the Altenau past Wendessen , Ahlum , Dettum , Eilum and Bansleben .

There used to be an inn at the end of the village. The village of Klein Weferlingen , which was next to Weferlingen, was probably destroyed in the Thirty Years War .

In 1802, Weferlingen owned a church and school, a writings yard , three farmyards , two half- span farms , two Kothöfe and some Brinkitzer places . The Schriftsassenhof owned land and meadows. There was also a grinding mill in the village.

During the Second World War , on March 15, 1944, American bombers attacked the village. The attackers presumably thought the rectangular contours of the former castle site were an ammunition dump. Air bombs destroyed the Romanesque church building of the place, which was inaugurated at the end of 1957 after the reconstruction.

On March 1, 1974, Weferlingen was incorporated into the community of Dettum.
