Weißenborn, Lower Saxony
Social and cultural activities
Sports
In 1921, the SV Fürth Weißenborn was founded. After a wartime interruption, it was re-juvenated, only to undergo some ups and downs, including a merger in 1968 to form SV Bischhausen/Weißenborn. Soccer, though the original sport of the club, has declined in interest. Hiking and gymnastics are actively pursued these days. The club has a club-house in Weißenborn.
Schützenverein
The village has an active Schützenverein (marksmen club), with a festival the first week-end in July every year. The organization has its own building, which can be used for family festivals throughout the year.
Volunteer Fire Department
There are a volunteer fire department and a youth volunteer fire department in the village. The volunteer fire department was founded in 1921, while the youth fire department was founded in 1975.
