Weyhe

Weyhe is a municipality in Diepholz district, Lower Saxony, comprising nine villages spread across rolling farmland. The landscape features fields, woodlands, and traditional farm buildings that give the area its rural character.

The area has been settled since the 9th century and became an important agricultural center over time. Several villages developed in the Middle Ages and still form the foundation of today's municipal structure.

This region has long been shaped by farming and rural traditions, with mills and farmsteads forming the backbone of village life. These practices remain visible in the architecture and craftsmanship that define the local landscape.
