Smakke has to do with the Dutch verb 'smakken' which has many meanings, especially to throw, to strike, to toss. It may refer to handling goods, after all this little street is situated in the former port, and to dice, or playing a similar game.<br>

Although Bergen op Zoom has not always been a predominantly Roman-Catholic town, one can still see many statuettes, figurines, plaques and plaquettes representing Mary, some of them having survived sieges and iconoclastic furies.<br>
<br>
This page will bring together as many of the remaining images as possible. Some have historic value, a few are also artistically interesting and most of them are the result of serial production, as especially can be seen on houses of the Twenties and Thirties of the 20th century. All were given their place however with the firm belief that Mary would protect the residents, keep them from evil, or could provide prosperity.<br>
<br>
Bergen op Zoom is also home to one of the few processions in The Netherlands dedicated to Mary, a result of a promise, done during World War II. If the town remained unharmed, its citizens would organize a yearly parade in honor of her. Although two 'Vergeltungswaffen' came down in the centre, killing dozens of people and causing of lot of material damage, this promise was kept, up to this day.<br>

Even Dutch people will raise their eyebrows when they hear the odd sounds in the word Moeregrebstraat. This street is named after an 800 meters long underground canal, which was open in the Middle Ages and partly until the early 20th century. Dug in the 13th century, it runs between Anton van Duinkerken Park and the old harbour, 250 meters parallel to the mentioned street.
‘Moer’ is related to ‘moor’, 'peat soil’ and ‘greb’ has to do with the verb 'graven' or 'to dig'. So, 'moeregreb' could be translated as 'peat canal'.<br>
<br>
As mentioned, the canal was covered through the years. More and more it served as a sewer system. Nowadays it's a clean, historic treasure. It's the largest monument of BoZ and is also listed nationally. Restoration works came to a close in 2009.<br>
<br>
The water is still used by the fire department.<br>

In the distance the tower of the outlet sluice building can be seen, to the right the one of the bailiff's mansion, where nowadays café Het Zwijnshoofd is situated, including a new tower a few meters away from the place of the demolished structure.

Moeregrebstraat is partly located between parking lot Mineurplein and the nearby shopping centre, which consists of two loops. In order to link parking lot and this commercial centre as well as both shopping area’s, the council of BoZ asked the organisation KidOR (Kunst in de Openbare Ruimte / Art in the Public Domain) to select an artist who would visualise this ambition.
After two procedures Amsterdam-based designer John Propp was chosen. He came up with a logo that, together with one of 75 different silhouettes, symbolizes itinerary and connection. One of the shopping areas is informally called ‘Vierkantje’, meaning little square, hence the corners in the digit 8. The design is attached to a number of litter bins. The one on the pictures above and below is to be found between Moeregrebstraat 4 and 6. The silhouettes are made of Corten steel. The results were unveiled in November 2011.<br>

On the edge of the former mediaeval town, partly on grounds of the successive fortificafions, there were several places without a specific function. A few of them survived, be it in a different outline and with a new use, including Mineurplein and two little squares on both sides of Weverskat (all parking lots now). At the junction of Van der Rijtstraat and Williamstraat we find Korenbeursplein, also many years a car park.<br>
Korenbeurs means grain exchange. Before, it was a place where waggons and carts were parked. Further back in time this was the location of respectively an Alexian convent, an orphanage and an army depot. In 2014 Korenbeursplein was restyled. Nowadays it's part of the weekly market.<br>

<br>
Compared to the nearby Market Square, Korenbeursplein looks like a village brink. The most striking structure is this slightly decrepit building. Older inhabitants will remember café De Dikke Boom (literally: the thick tree) was located here.<br>

One of the objectives of the local authorities for the square is a concentration of mediterranean restaurants and shops to bring some life to the place, which has never really been an animated spot. So far a Turkish bakery and a Moroccan butcher/grocery located themselves here.<br>

This modest building on the corner of Korenbeursstraat comprises a house and a studio to attract artists. It was recently renovated by Stichting Stadsherstel, a foundation active in the field of urban renewal, especially in the historic centre, since 1971.<br>

A detail of the famous scale-model made by the French in 1748, after their conquest of the town a year before. Historians believe this model and three others of the fortresses in the vincinity (De Roovere, Pinssen and Moermont) were produced by the Nézot studio's in Paris.<br>

According to the map designed by R. van Someren in 1890, Korenbeurs Square (in the middle, between Kettingstraat and Williamstraat) already looked like how we know it today.<br>

It goes without saying that the image of a place, justly or not, to a large extent is indicated by just one or a few buildings, think of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Colosseum in Rome and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai or, closer to home, the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam and St. John's Cathedral in Den Bosch. In Bergen op Zoom one really can't get round the mediaval complex with its mighty crow-stepped gables and tower of Markiezenhof (the court of the Marquis).<BR>
Yet, the nature of a town or city, let's say its soul, often hides in what doesn't leap to the eye, on the contrary. Think of fine wrinkles in a face which attracts attention because of a big nose or a beard. These inconspicuous features, the wrinkles of a town, don't flaunt on restored squares or in glittering shopping centres. No, one discovers them in back streets, little visited neighborhoods, in a cul-de-sac; in backwaters which didn't share the developments of a place or, in case they did, are considered too ugly or boring to fit the desired image.<BR>
Bergen op Zoom still has many of those places which have not been commercialized. One example is the dead end alley Pakhuisstraat in the former harbor district. 'Pakhuis' means warehouse or repository. This function is still visible as the picture below shows.<BR>
Other objects are left to guesswork. Well, any incentive of the phantasy makes sure a place is not dead even if all activities seam to have vanished.<BR>

Albert Hagenaarshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15907732217694757088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076262914567501740.post-83985135940661838842015-03-31T00:23:00.001-07:002015-05-19T12:29:24.332-07:00BINNENBANDIJK<br>
Binnenbandijk consists of three elements. 'Binnen' is related to 'inside', 'inner' and 'within'; 'ban' has to do with 'to ban' and 'to abandon'; 'dijk' is 'dike', 'dyke' or 'levee' although in Flemish Dutch it can also mean 'promenade'.<br>
A 'binnenbandijk' is mostly a dyke along (the forelands/foreshores of) a river, in this case the estuarium of the Oosterscheldt.<br>
<br>
<br>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iU1QZGUv0Pk/VRpK9upEwAI/AAAAAAAAFww/LsgwTc8RLT4/s1600/Binnenbandijk%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iU1QZGUv0Pk/VRpK9upEwAI/AAAAAAAAFww/LsgwTc8RLT4/s320/Binnenbandijk%2B1.jpg" /></a>
<br>
The location where these pictures were taken is indicated by the red dot on the old map above. On this spot we find a sculpture by Auke van der Heide and Jan Wessendorp, artists who regularly work together in the public domain. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CeSujwfGpP4/VRpLD1IlliI/AAAAAAAAFw4/LxS8Wtw6Q-o/s1600/Binnenbandijk%2B2.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CeSujwfGpP4/VRpLD1IlliI/AAAAAAAAFw4/LxS8Wtw6Q-o/s320/Binnenbandijk%2B2.JPG" /></a>
<br>
Both artists were invited by District Water Board 'Brabantse Delta' to create a work of art at the occasion of the completion of a project that was aimed to double the capacity of the waste water main between Bergen op Zoom and neighbouring town Roosendaal. Their theme: "The present realizes the impulses of the past. The future realizes the impulses of this moment."<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LUZRbf3oh4k/VRpLJz2WZwI/AAAAAAAAFxA/vcn9jfU_r44/s1600/Binnenbandijk%2B3.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LUZRbf3oh4k/VRpLJz2WZwI/AAAAAAAAFxA/vcn9jfU_r44/s320/Binnenbandijk%2B3.JPG" /></a>
<br>
The sculpture was unveiled in 2009. It's name, <i>The past's bucket is today's conduit </i>, refers to safety and hygiene. The bucket also represents the personal responsibility.<br>
Especially when the sun is shining the reflections of the metal buckets provide a fascinating spectacle of light. The clattering of the handles, moved by the wind, which is almost always active in this area, makes sure no passer-by will miss this cultural beacon.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7lRBXQkOX9o/VRpLQOP1XlI/AAAAAAAAFxI/Zr1eYy8XWIo/s1600/Binnenbandijk%2B4.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7lRBXQkOX9o/VRpLQOP1XlI/AAAAAAAAFxI/Zr1eYy8XWIo/s320/Binnenbandijk%2B4.JPG" /></a>
<br>
The dates on the buckets are a reminder of the years which were important in the eternal struggle against the water. As the old map above shows, many villages in this area disappeared during floods and storms, such as Agger, Brouck, Creek, Everswardt and Inkeloirt as well as the town of Reimerswaal. Where once were fertile fields, important for the economy of Bergen op Zoom, is now the stretch of water called Oosterscheldt.<br>
Water has however also been an ally many times, of which the successive harbours of Bergen op Zoom are the main witnesses.<br>

This street belongs to the green part of the ring around the medieaval town. It is named after one of the first industrial entrepreneurs. Arnoldus Asselbergs (1811-1880) started a forge in 1841, together with his partner Janus van der Hoeven. Little by little this modest facility became an iron foundry, which employed many workers.<br>
<br>
The street has two 'arms'. In between is a little public garden called Bevrijdingsplantsoen (Liberation Green). A statue by Nicolaas van der Kreek (1896-1967) reminds the passer-by of the Liberation of Bergen op Zoom by Canadian forces on October 27th 1944. It was established in 1955.<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
Nicolaas van der Kreek was born in Bergen op Zoom and died in Bussum. He was active in more artistic fields but made a name as a sculptor. As such he was a member of several societies a.o. 'Arti et Amicitiae' and 'De Onafhankelijken' (The Independant Ones) in Amsterdam. In 1923 he was awarded a silver medal in the Prix de Rome-contest.

The monument, dedicated to all the people who died in the war, was unveiled by Piet van Gils. He was the son of a resistance fighter who didn't live to enjoy the liberation.

The name (meaning 'A view into the pot' or 'Looking into the pot') originates from an early 17th century redoubt (redoute in French), which offered a splendid view on the area. Many modifications in the defense system followed.<br>
<br>
The municipality of Bergen op Zoom managed to buy the grounds in 1979 and decided to transform them into a park, designed by Pieter Germeraad, some twenty years later.<br>
Several artists participated in the decoration of the park, which remained an open space after a part in the northwest became a residential area with names reflecting the former military functions in this part of town such as Escarp, Saillant, Coupure, Poterne and, of course, Redoute.<br>

A view on the Slikschans (Mud flat sconce) or Veldschans (Field sconce), also a design by Auke van der Heide and Jan Wessendorp, based upon a similarly shaped fortress on this spot. They commissioned poetry for the walls from author Albert Hagenaars, who shared the assignment with his colleague Bert Bevers. They realized two poems together, meaning they came up with mixed texts. Each word by one was followed by a word by the other.

<br>
Translated:<br>
<br>
<i><b>You who vanish here<br>
see through this no man's land full with everybody</b></i>.<br>
<br>
These lines reflect centuries of military action, many victims. So, one could also read: every <b>body</b> in the sense of <b>corpse</b>.<br>

A sculpture with three crabs (1980) by Kees Keijzer (1927, Heerle - 1990, Wouw) who studied at the academy of arts St Joost in Breda. This monument was originally placed in front of the civic centre at the corner of Sint Annastraat and Kortemeestraat, which was replaced by an apartment building including shops.<br>
Keijzer specialized in working with iron. His sculptures can be seen in several towns, in Bergen op Zoom alone four.

<br>
The crab is one of the strongest symbols of Bergen op Zoom. It can be seen everywhere, especially during carnival. Most people believe it has to do with the estuarium of the nearby Oosterschelde. There is however a solid theory which links the word 'krab' to the beet madder, mee<b>krap</b> in Dutch. The roots of this plant provided dye for the textile industry. Thanks to the cloth manufacturers Bergen op Zoom experienced periods of wealth, mainly in the Middle Ages.

Within the boundaries of the Slikschans the artist's group Bozaar, founded by Frits Sonnenberg and others in June 2001, realized a concrete strip with so-called time capsules. Individuals as well as companies can fill a steel cylinder with messages, objects, documents pictures and so on in order to be opened in the future. Each cylinder is linked to a notarial act.

<br>
The first capsule, filled with contributions of the group was sponsored by Jos Krijger Painting Business. The text on the cover is by Jos Steegstra (1940 Groningen - 2002 Tholen), a teacher and a poet. His main themes were archeology and history.

The company Royal Nedalco was present in the old harbour district in the period 1899 - 2005. It shifted its activities to Sas van Gent. Some buildings were left as industrial monuments for a new neighbourhood.

Bergen op Zoom is blessed with over 850 listed historic buildings, of which about 310 are national monuments. Interesting modern structures however are hard to find. An example is the new fire station on Van Konijnenburgweg. The building, designed by Schaap en Sturm Architecten, refers to a fortified wall (for centuries there were defense works on this spot) as well as to the proximity of the Oosterschelde (Eastern Scheldt).

All the mediaeval walls around the town have disappeared. Only one gate of that period still exists today. The wall above has nothing to do with BoZ but gives an idea of what the town may have looked like at its limits. The oldest walls were however located far from here.

The fire station is realized between the old harbor to the east and the entrance of its canal to the west. That's why the roofs are designed like waves, including the colours. The real waterfront is only a few hundreds of meters away. In a couple of years the building will act as a hinge between the revived historic harbour district and the new marina. Already many activities take place in the neighbourhood.

<br>
<br>
The road, leading to Theodorushaven (opened in 1964), was named after Emile van Konijnenburg (1869 - 1956). He was an important hydraulic engineer and as such involved in many international projects. Early in his career he helped to improve the river Maas, in The Netherlands streaming between Maastricht and Rotterdam/the North Sea. Later he did the same for the Suez Canal and the Danube, in Romania. He designed ports for Jaffa, Haifa, Beirut and Tripoli.<br>
As a writer he published a trilogy about the history of Dutch shipbuilding, "De Nederlandsche Scheepsbouw vanaf zijn oorsprong" and about the separation of the rivers Maas and Waal, "Scheiding van Maas en Waal; beschrijving van den vroegeren waterstaatkundigen toestand in Noordbrabant, alsmede van de werken uitgevoerd voor de verlegging van den Maasmond".<br>
As if this was not enough, he also made a name for himself as a painter, specialized in picturing landscapes and animals. He should not be mistaken however for the artist Willem Adriaan van Konijnenburg (1868 - 1943).<br>
The town council of Bergen op Zoom also honoured him because the Schelde-Rijnkanaal between Antwerp and Rotterdam, one of the busiest canals in Europe, was built according to his plans. This canal is only 2 km away from the fire station.<br>

The situation by the end of September 2014. The street was almost entirely demolished in the Seventies. One side of the street is rebuilt, the other part is still a parking lot. There are plans however to rebuild this side as well. In the distance, to the left, the mediaeval Gevangenpoort (Prisoner's Gate) can be seen, the oldest building of BoZ.

A 'koevoet' (literally cow + foot) is a crowbar. Since also the street is bent a little, as can be seen on this picture, the name Koevoetstraat may find its origins in that tool.<br>

At number 9, the white house, WEL was located for some years, a publising house which specializes in poetry. WEL was co-founded by Frans Mink (who lived here) in 1973. In the seventies, there was a garage downstairs.

Number 23 housed Valckesteyn in the period 1978-1980. In this gallery the first art performances in West-Brabant took place. Valckesteyn is the historic name. Valckesteyn and the adjacent houses to the right were built around 1750, after the devastating bombardments by the French army during the War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748). Over 25% of the town was flattened, more parts got heavily damaged. Until then the town was called La Pucelle (the virgin), since even the mighty Spanish armies didn't succeed to conquer it. It's only fair to say that during their most serious attempts, in 1588 and 1622, artillery was not as powerful and sophisticated as it was in the 18th century.

Initially, the Jewish community of Bergen op Zoom used the first floor of the local Weighhouse as a place of worship. According to the text on 'the first stone' of the present building, laid by Mr. S.L. van den Broeck, constructing began on the twelfth of the month Eloel.

The text "Door milddadigheid van den besten Koning 5593" means "Thanks to the benevolence of the best king 1832", refering to a gift by king William I (1772 - 1843), who ruled in the period 1813 - 1840. He was king of The United Netherlands (the actual Netherlands plus Belgium) as well as duke of Luxembourg. During his reign the Belgian Revolution (1830 - 1839) took place, which led to the independance of the Southern Netherlands, called Belgium from then on. The ties between the northern Netherlands and Flanders nevertheless remained tight.

Some lines from the poem by Benno Barnard, written especially for this place on request of Stichting Stenen Strofen (Foundation Stone Stanza's), an organization which strives for integrating poetry in the urban tissue. Some towns with similar intentions are Leiden (with over 100 texts), Middelburg and Den Bosch. In BoZ about 20 poems have appeared on buildings so far.

Barnard's complete text, refering to the fact that a local national-socialist used the complex as a depot for potatoes. David Colmer made the following English translation:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
SHUL<br>
<br>
On the wall of a former synagogue<br>
<br>
Passer-by, this was a house of prayer<br>
for nonzealous believers:<br>
Salomon Samuel Frank, shopkeeper,<br>
Nathan Jakob, of honest conduct,<br>
name them. Here<br>
they gathered: instructed<br>
by forefathers, borne<br>
by tradition.<br>
<br>
Realise:<br>
there is no such thing<br>
as a former shul.<br>
<br>
Think of the bastard who stored<br>
his winter potatoes inside.<br>
It is not nothingness<br>
that terrifies<br>
but its revelation in banality.<br>
<br>
Even now, a cold millennium later,<br>
an old man still stands<br>
under the eternal lamp<br>
mumbling in all his unshavenness<br>
at the ark containing the names<br>
of people death<br>
scooped up like so many spuds:<br>
Sam, Israel, Esther, Benjamin, Jakob.<br>
<br>
You who are a passer-by,<br>
as they were,<br>
name them.<br>

The newly formed square connecting the old and new shopping centres was called after Mozes de Hes (1864, Hoogeveen - 1942 Auschwitz), who was a religious teacher in Doetinchem, Smilde, Roermond, Gorredijk and Vlissingen. In 1926 he was appointed teacher and cantor in Bergen op Zoom. In 1942 he moved to Amsterdam. Shortly afterward, October 5th, he died in Auschwitz.

A plaque commemorating the opening of the restored synagogue by the ambassador of Israel in 1975. Between the end of the war and the early seventies, the building had fallen to ruin. Just before the remnants would be demolished in a slum clearance, the synagogue could be saved, thanks to the vigilance and perseverance of a small group of concerned residents.

The restoration works were also performed as a dedication to all the Jewish Dutch who didn't live to see the liberation. Few Jewish fellow townsmen returned to BoZ, too few to be able to reestablish the religious function of the building.

This sign explains that the synagogue was declared a national monument in 1975. Since 1996 the place is open to the public. On the first floor there is a exhibition. The new interior was, with much respect for the former functions, designed by artist Jan Wessendorp.

After all the mistakes in favour of urban renewal during especially the sixties and seventies, most people in Bergen op Zoom realize it is essential to keep their town's heritage. In order to find a balance between old and new the town may not fossilize to become only a monumental area like some other historic 'fairy tale' towns. Since the centre has been classified as a protected area, new streets and constructions must however show respect to the environment, meaning for example that materials, size, colours and texture should fit. This process is continuously going on with ups and downs. The Parade-project, in which Koevoetstraat partially is situated, was designed by a group of international architects: Rob Krier / KCD, bOb Van Reeth / AWG, Sjoerd Soeters and Jan Weyts. Investors Rodamco and Vesteda made it possible to add 18.000 m2 retail space, 81 apartments and 2 parking garages with together 470 places to the town's functions and facilities. It helped Bergen op Zoom to be awarded Best Centre of The Netherlands in 2007, one year after completing the works. This corner is an example of mixing old and new elements.

After having been dependant, for many centuries, on its mediaeval port, Bergen op Zoom managed to realize a new port, called Theodorushaven after the polder in question, in 1964. The old port, which originated in a winding creek, was hardly fit to handle logistics as was demanded in the booming sixties. Besides, as a tidal port with sewers discharging their contents between the ships, the stench could be untenable. The local factories directed their waste water into the inner harbour. As if this was not bad enough, flooding of parts of the town was yet another problem which occured from time to time.<BR>
<BR>
<br>
<br>
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u1FWnrO14b0/U4dBClWwsLI/AAAAAAAAEmY/0evzDg7ZqI8/s1600/theo+a2.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u1FWnrO14b0/U4dBClWwsLI/AAAAAAAAEmY/0evzDg7ZqI8/s320/theo+a2.JPG" /></a>
<br>
The old port managed only 250.000 tonnes of goods a year. Logically, expectations were high when the Theodorushaven was opened. Rightfully so, because anno 2014 the port houses 120 compagnies, including Sabic, Ricoh, Partner Logistics, Majestic, TNT Fashion as well as, since 2011, the promising Green Chemistry Campus. It employs about 5000 people. With a turnover of over 2.000.000 tonnes, Theodorushaven is one of the biggest inner ports of the country and still growing fast. Because of its strategic position on the busy Schelde-Rijnkanaal, which connects mainports Rotterdam and Antwerp, and on the crossroads of highways A58 (Vlissingen-Eindhoven and eventually Germany) and A4 (Amsterdam-Brussels) Theodorushaven serves an European purpose. Therefore it belongs to the so-called TEN-T (Transeuropean Transport Network).
In order to reduce road transport Bergen op Zoom actively supports transport by ship. Since 2008 the town possesses the temporary Markiezaat Container Terminal (see picture above), which reached 70.000 TEU in 2012 and over 100.000 in 2013 ! These facts make MCT the fastest growing terminal in The Netherlands.<BR>
Different parties, including the Port of Rotterdam Authority, the municipality of Bergen op Zoom and Mepavex Logistics (which purchased 15 ha in 2014 for ten new warehouses) are in full gear to develop a much bigger terminal to the northwest, in the direction of the island of Tholen.<BR>

A draft of the megalomaniac ideas of E.A.B. van Vianen,<br>
director of public works in BoZ. Realization of these<br>
plans for an enormous portuary complex would have dwarfed<br>
the ports of Vlissingen (left) and even Antwerp (below).<br>
The ideas were published in the magazine 'Noord-Brabant',<br>
year 1963, no. 3, a special edition about ports and<br>
harbours in the province of Noord-Brabant.<br>

In The Netherlands, where there must have been thousands, not 100 have survived. Thanks to negligence, in Bergen op Zoom two of them are still there. They have even been restored!<br>

The painting seems to have been made by Nithes Couwenberg after a design (ca. 1925) by Hungarian artist Vilmos Huszár (1884 - 1960). Vilmos Herz as his real name was, lived in The Netherlands and was a co-founder of De Stijl, one of the most important European trends in art in the 20th century. Photo: © Albert Hagenaars.<br>

In September 2008 the mural was restored by Wendy Schoenaker. In order to keep the colours vivid as long as possible she used mineral paint. A tree that blocked the wall, was cut. Photo: © Albert Hagenaars.<br>

Bergen op Zoom is not the only town which boasts a Miss Blanche by Huszár; Culemborg and Leiden are the other lucky ones. Their murals have also been restored. Here's the one in Culemborg. Photo: © Albert Hagenaars. <br>

If you like irony: in Bergen op Zoom cigaret producer Philip Morris International Inc. runs the biggest as well as one of the most modern factories of the world. It produces a number of brands, like Marlboro. Until recently it made 92 billion cigarets per year. Partly due to less consumption in Europe the company decided to close the main plant in 2014. Two departments, 'Expanded Tobacco Plants" and "Flavor Processing Centre", will be kept operational. So, Miss Blanche beats Marlboro, at least in BoZ...

This huge complex, called Juvenaat Holy Heart, was realized in the period 1903 - 1905. Here young men were educated to become priests.<br>
The buildings were demolished in 1993. The front, which was meant to survive in a new structure, had to be broken down one year later, officially because of bad maintenance.<br>

<br>
<br>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DaEow3SCSYU/Ur7G6rSwD7I/AAAAAAAAD-Y/MyLL-AqdeJM/s1600/Beursplein+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DaEow3SCSYU/Ur7G6rSwD7I/AAAAAAAAD-Y/MyLL-AqdeJM/s320/Beursplein+1.JPG" /></a><br>
The small-sized Beursplein plays an important role in Bergen's cultural life. Surrounded by French, Mexican and Japanese restaurants as well as Irish and Dutch pubs and the Markiezenhof (Court of the Marquis), it houses a X-mas crib in December.<br>
<br>
<br>
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cq70W6LJaOw/Ur7HJWfgavI/AAAAAAAAD-g/HfhL07gIZlQ/s1600/Beursplein+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cq70W6LJaOw/Ur7HJWfgavI/AAAAAAAAD-g/HfhL07gIZlQ/s320/Beursplein+2.JPG" /></a><br>
The Beursplein was only realized by the end of the 15th Century. It's first name was Sint-Jansplein (St John's Square), after a statue of this saint. When trade became more active, the name was changed according to this new function. Beurs means exchange, fair and market.<br>

Many locals flock together on the little square in the weekends before Carnival really breaks loose and will attract many visitors from all over the country. Bergen op Zoom is, together with Maastricht and Den Bosch, one of the most popular places to be during Carnival.
<br>
<br>
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YPO2qVglaVM/Ur7IDYbWpBI/AAAAAAAAD_Y/pZMWwJPIkes/s1600/Beursplein+11.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YPO2qVglaVM/Ur7IDYbWpBI/AAAAAAAAD_Y/pZMWwJPIkes/s320/Beursplein+11.JPG" /></a><br>
Underneath Beursplein the Grebbe can be found, once a mediaeval canal of about 800 meters between the northern part of town and the old port, later a notorious sewer and at present, being one of the oldest complete underground water systems in the country, a national monument which can be visited regularly. The waste water is now managed through a large synthetic pipe, partly hidden in the ground, as can be seen on this picture.<br>

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HMKGONXtMBc/UpsL3QxE3jI/AAAAAAAAD18/K67zGVRncpA/s1600/Bleekveld+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HMKGONXtMBc/UpsL3QxE3jI/AAAAAAAAD18/K67zGVRncpA/s320/Bleekveld+2.JPG" /></a><br>
<br>
<br>
While visiting the neighbourhood around Bleekveld, one can easily think of a 'begijnhof'. A begijnhof most of the time is a walled complex consisting of a courtyard and cottages originally built in the 14th-century for a group of pious, charitable women (the Beguines). A central place was given to a chapel or church. Occasionaly there was also a graveyard. The begijnhof is a specific urban feature of the southern part of the former Netherlands (including nowadays Belgium and parts of northern France). All together there were 70 begijnhof complexes. Just a few were found in the north of The Netherlands and in Wallonia.<br>
<br>
Professor Henri Pirenne explained the success of the Beguines by the fact that, due to violence, military operations and war, there were far more women than men. In his view single women saw no other way to survive than to unite and ask the rich for help. In exchange they would look after the sick and poor. In a begijnhof the rules were less strict than in a traditional convent.<br>
<br>
In Flanders to this day remain 26 begijnhof complexes of which 13 are listed by Unesco. In alphabetical order these are: 1. Bruges/Brugge, 2. Dendermonde, 3. Diest, 4. Gent (Klein Begijnhof), 5. Hoogstraten, 6. Kortrijk, 7. Leuven (Groot-Begijnhof), 8. Lier, 9. Mechelen (Groot Begijnhof), 10. Sint-Amandsberg, 11. Sint-Truiden, 12. Tongeren and 13. Turnhout.<br>
<br>
In The Netherlands only the sites in Amsterdam and Breda survived. Bergen op Zoom possessed a begijnhof from 1498 until 1580, when the buildings were demolished during religious riots. Not much later the authorities realized fortifications on the same spot. In modern Bergen op Zoom only the name remains: Begijnhofstraat.
On the other side of the busy Noordsingel, part of the town’s centre ring, we find a street with little white washed houses and cobble stones as well as a green, called Bleekveld, where once sheets were laid out in the sunlight to bleach.<br>
It is not difficult to sense here what the atmosphere in the nearby begijnhof may have been like... Even the signs help: 1. no entrance and 2. a reference to medical support.<br>

<br>
On 29 January 1574, just off the coast of Bergen op Zoom, a sea battle took place between a Spanish fleet (two squadrons consisting of over 100 ships, led by admiral De Glimes and Romero) and rebel ships under the command of Lodewijk van Boisot and Joost de Moor. The Spanish fleet was destroyed. Twelve hundred Spaniards, including De Glimes, perished in the flames of the burning vessels or fell in the struggles that raged on their decks. As a result Middelburg, the main town of the province of Zealand, capitulated to 'de Zeegeuzen' or 'Sea Beggars', a French nickname for the rebels. The battle was an early victory for the Dutch in the so-called Eighty Years' War (1568 - 1648), which would lead to the independant state of The Netherlands.<br>
<br>
Artist Hugo Vrijdag used references to this naval battle in his work 'Windvanen' ('Vanes'). One can also symbolically see a squadron in the stainless steel sculpture. It was established in 1999, on a spot where the new district Bergse Plaat embraces the Binnenschelde, a compartmentalized area of the Oosterscheldt estuary.<br>

As a child, Ludwig Lazarus Zamenhof (1859 - 1917), the designer of Esperanto, must have been fascinated, if not thrilled, by the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel.<br>
He was born in Białystok, then part of the Russian Empire, now situated in eastern Poland. His native language was Russian, but he also spoke Yiddish and Polish, which became the native language of his children. His father was a teacher of German, and Ludwig also spoke that language fluently. He mastered French, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and English and was interested in Italian, Spanish and Lithuanian.

<br>
Weary of all linguistic misunderstandings and confusion, young Zamenhof tried to come up with some kind of international language which would facilitate easier ways of communication. In 1887 he used the name Dr. Esperanto, meaning "someone who hopes" to publish the book 'La internacia lingvo'. His language however got the name Esperanto.

<br>
In 1905 the first congress in Esperanto took place in France. These days Esperanto is spoken in 120 countries by 2 million speakers. Every year many congresses in Zamenhofs language are organized.

<br>
In The Netherlands there are six monuments dedicated to the linguïst and his amazing project: in the southern border town Bergen op Zoom, in Den Burg (in the island of Texel), in Leeuwarden (the capital city of the province of Friesland), in Utrecht, in Oost-Vlieland ( a hamlet in the island of Vlieland) and in Zwolle (the capital city of the province of Overijssel).

<br>
In Bergen op Zoom the monument was established in 1933. Present was Lidia Zamenhof,Ludwig's daughter.

<br>
Most of the time in its long history, Bergen op Zoom has been a crossroads of cultures. Its location on a sand ridge on the border of the provinces Zeeland and Noord-Brabant, and later on the border of The Netherlands and Flanders guaranteed strong influences from these nearby areas.<br>
In its heydays as an international market town Bergen op Zoom received many merchants from several European countries. Street names like Engelsestraat and Londonstraat speak for themselves.<br>
From the era the town served as a garrison, there are still names such as Morganstraat (called after an English military governor) en Le Grandstraat (named after a French officer).<br>
Since the seventies a number of international companies, e.g. General Electric Plastics (USA), Philip Morris (USA), Ricoh (Japan), Sabic (Saudi Arabia) established themselves in the town, especially in the port, called Theodorushaven. As a result people from all over the world found a new home in Bergen op Zoom. Besides, a steady stream of citizens from former colonies as well as political refugees came into existence. Finally, more and more local people found partners elsewhere, who also settled here.<br>
Most immigrant workers from Turkey and Morocco, arriving in numbers in the sixties to work in the iron works and similar older factories, decided to stay. Their presence resulted in two mosques.<br>
The most striking mosque is the Ulu Cami (2009). The first mosque (1984) was located in the old milk factory Hollandia in Bruinevisstraat, the new complex found a place on Van Heelulaan in the eastern Gageldonk district. It's not just a house of worship but also functions as a social-cultural centre. The design, by Erdal Önder (eNa Architecten), refers to Ottoman architecture (white walls, a minaret) as well as to the traditional way of building with bricks in The Netherlands. The Ulu Cami is related to the foundation 'Islamitische Stichting Nederland' and will welcome everyone who is interested.<br>

The former "Rusthuis Avondvrede" at the corner of Le Grandstraat and Bolwerk. 'Avond' means evening and 'vrede' peace. This building was demolished in the seventees and replaced by a rather characterless nursing home.<br>
The street is called after the French colonel Le Grand. This officer served under general Bizanet when Bergen op Zoom, occupied by the French, was attacked by Dutch and British troops in 1814. One year later Le Grand published the book <i>La surprise de Berg-op-Zoom</i>.<br>
The Le Grandstraat was constructed in 1886, laid out on the fortifications by Menno van Coehoorn (1641 - 1704), who considered Bergen op Zoom his masterpiece among all the strongholds he built or modernized, such as Breda, Coevorden, Groningen, Nijmegen and Zwolle.<br>

Many towns and cities boast the narrowest house/gable in the country or even the world. Famous examples are: Singel 7 – Amsterdam; Voorstraat 265 – Dordrecht (but without a door); 39 Rue du Château d’Eau – Paris; Lange Voorhout 32A – The Hague; 75 Bedford Street – New York (poet Edna St. Vincent Millay lived here); Huikstraat 47 - Antwerp; Keret House, between 22 Chłodna Street and 74 Żelazna Street in Warsaw (called after author Etgar Keret, the first tenant); a house on Plaza Lope de Vega in Valencia; and Kirchstraße 29 in Bregenz (not wider than the door, 57 cm).<br>
Sint-Antoniusstraat 8 has, with 230 cm, definitely the smallest gable in Bergen op Zoom. Hardly anyone will know about this. So far...<br>

<br>
This painting of the narrow Hofstraat, signed R. Cameron, was purchased from antiquarian bookshop Ex Libris (Kloosterstraat 38 BoZ.)<br>
Most likely the little canvass, it only measures 18 x 30 cm, was produced by Rein Cameron.<br>
Although the street is situated near the Markiezenhof, the most important historic monument in town, its intimate character has hardly changed for centuries.<br>
No great work of art, just a nice picture.<br>

An old view from Hofstraat onto the east square of the former court of the local margraves, which roughly dates from 1480-1520 and was restored in the sixties and seventies. The complex now houses several functions (such as a museum, a library and a restaurant).<br>

This is the very first monument related to World War II in The Netherlands. It was established on the corner of Moerstraatsebaan and Luienhoekweg between Bergen op Zoom and the village of Moerstraten. It is a tribute to fallen Canadian troops. The monument, called Bevrijdingsmonument or Liberation Monument, was designed by Umberto Dion and dates from 26 August 1945.<br>

Although Bergen op Zoom has not always been a predominantly Roman-Catholic town, one can still see many statuettes, figurines, plaques and plaquettes representing Mary, a strong symbol of the Roman-Catholic version of Christianity, some of them having survived sieges and iconoclastic furies. This page will bring together as many of the remaining images as possible. Some have historic value, a few are also artistically interesting and most of them are the result of serial production, as especially can be seen on houses of the Twenties and Thirties of the 20th century. All were given their place however with the firm belief that Mary would protect the residents, keep them from evil, or could provide prosperity.<br>
Bergen op Zoom is also home to one of the few processions in The Netherlands dedicated to Mary, a result of a promise, done during World War II. If the town remained unharmed, its citizens would organize a yearly parade in honor of her. Although two 'Vergeltungswaffen' came down in the centre, killing dozens of people and causing of lot of material damage, this promise was kept, up to this day.<br>
