History

Opened 5 August 1865

 Deventer is a railway station in Deventer, Netherlands. The station was opened on 5 August 1865 and is on the Apeldoorn–Deventer railway, Deventer–Almelo railway and the Arnhem–Leeuwarden railway. The train services are operated by Nederlandse Spoorwegen.

History

In 1860 the state decided to connect the largest towns and cities in the Netherlands with each other. The railway between Arnhem, Zutphen, Deventer, Zwolle, Heerenveen and Leeuwarden was known as State railway A. When the station opened in 1865 it was connected with Arnhem and in 1861 the line to Zwolle opened.

More than 20 years later, in 1887, the railway between Apeldoorn and Deventer opened. A year later this was extended to Almelo. The Arnhem–Zwolle railway and Apeldoorn–Almelo railway were operated by competing companies which resulted in two separate stations being built.

The station was also the terminus of the OLDO, a local railway to Raalte and Ommen which opened in 1910 and closed in 1935. Around the time this line was opened, the other two railways were altered, raising them above ground level to avoid conflicts with road traffic. This is also when the combined station was built for all the railway lines. The current building dates from 1914 and the island platforms were built in 1920.

In 1892, when the line between Apeldoorn and Almelo was upgraded to a main line, it became an important east–west connection. It was decided in 1917 to add a second track on this line. Shortly afterwards the Zwolle to Zutphen line was also doubled. The lines were electrified in the 1950s. This made the station an important interchange from all directions. The station was also on the international route between the western part of the Netherlands and Germany. The Almelo-Salzbergen railway was connected with the line from Apeldoorn in 1892. This meant trains could operate from Amsterdam, Hook of Holland and Rotterdam to Germany, Scandinavia and Russia. Names of these trains included the Holland-Scandinavië Express, Nord-West Express and Hoek-Warszawa Express. The trains had carriages for destinations such as Berlin, Warsaw, Copenhagen and Moscow. From 1991 an increasing number of trains operated through to Berlin and in 1993 the final international train operated from the Hook of Holland. Today there is a train every two hours between Amsterdam and Berlin, operating via Deventer. Until December 2010, one of these trains ran to the Polish city of Szczecin.

VI History

Foundation and development in the Middle Ages

Deventer was probably founded around AD 768 by the English missionary Lebuinus, who built a wooden church on the east bank of the river IJssel. In January 772 the sack and burning of this church by a Saxon expedition was the cause for the first punitive war waged by Charlemagne to the Saxons, in which, in retribution, the Irminsul (the Saxon sacred tree, probably near modern Paderborn) was destroyed. This was not the first human settlement at the location; between 1981 and 2006, remains of a Bronze Age settlement (dated to c.400 AD) were excavated at Colmschate, 4 km east of the current city

The towers of the St. Nicholas Church date back to circa 1200

The village of Deventer, already important because of a trading road crossing the river IJssel, was looted and burnt down by the Vikings in 882. It was immediately rebuilt and fortified with an earthen wall (in the street Stenen Wal remains of this wall have been excavated and restored).

Deventer received city rights in 956, after which fortifications were built or replaced by stone walls around the city for defense. Between 1000 and 1500, Deventer grew to be a flourishing trade city because of its harbour on the river IJssel, which was capable of accommodating large ships. The city eventually joined the Hanseatic League.

One of the commodities it traded in, dried haddock and cod from Norway, gave the citizens the nickname they carry to this day: "Deventer Stokvis" In the 15th century, Deventer had a common mint, where coins for the three IJssel cities Deventer, Zwolle, and Kampen were made.

Deventer is the birthplace of Geert Groote and home to his Brethren of the Common Life, a school of religious thought that influenced Thomas a Kempis and Erasmus in later times. Together with Haarlem it was among the first cities to have printing presses, dating back to as early as 1477. From around 1300, it also housed a Latin School, which became internationally renowned, and remained in service in changing forms until 1971. Its most well-known was the scholar Desiderius Erasmus, who was born in 1466 and attended the school from 1475 to 1484.

16th–18th centuries

1652 map of Deventer by Willem and Joan Blaeu

Between 1500 and 1800, the volume of water flowing through the IJssel decreased, decreasing the importance of Deventer's harbour. The competition with trade centres in Holland, as well as the religious war between 1568 and 1648, brought a decline in the city's economy.

In the 18th century, the iron industry came to Deventer. East of the town, so-called "oer", riversand containing iron, was found as early as 900. From this material, ore was produced and brought to town. The main road of the villages Okkenbroek, Lettele and Schalkhaar is still named Oerdijk (Ore Dyke).

Modern times

In the 19th century, Deventer became an industrial town. Bicycles (Burgers), carpets (Koninklijke Deventer Tapijtfabriek), tins and cans for food and drinks (Thomassen & Drijver), cigars (Horst & Maas en Bijdendijk & Ten Hove), foundry and heavy machinery (Nering Bögel), and textiles (Ankersmit)[4] were produced until the mid to late 20th century. Some of these industries are still thriving today, such as beds and accessories (Auping) and publishing (Wolters Kluwer, now headquartered in Alphen aan den Rijn)

The city's trade and industry is still of some importance. The city is host to a factory producing central heating systems, as well as Wolters Kluwer, a global information services and publishing company.

The Deventer honey cake (Bussink Deventer Koek), produced in Deventer for over 500 years, is still manufactured locally and sold all over the Netherlands and beyond.

World War II

Shooting a scene from A Bridge Too Far on location in Deventer, 1977

Deventer has seen few military engagements throughout its long history, although it was a garrison city of the Dutch cavalry. The industrial area and harbour were bombed heavily during World War II. The city centre has been largely spared, thus offering a view that has remained largely unchanged for the past few centuries.

The female Jewish poet and writer Etty Hillesum lived in Deventer during the war before being deported to Auschwitz.

In Schalkhaar, a village only 2 km northeast of the city centre, barracks were used by the German occupying forces to train Nazi policemen. The compound is now a centre for asylum seekers.

Deventer has been somewhat popular with the film industry. During the production of the 1977 film A Bridge Too Far, all of the scenes taking place in nearby Arnhem were filmed in Deventer - as Arnhem itself had lost its historic centre.

VII. Historical city

Deventer is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. Around the year 800 there was already an urban settlement on the river IJssel. In the Middle Ages, the settlement grew into a full-fledged city. Its location on the IJssel made it possible for the city to develop into an important trading center. As a prominent member of the medieval trade alliance Hanseatic the city experienced in the 14 e and 15 e century, its "golden years". Every year the city had six annual fairs, where merchants from all over Europe came to the IJsselstad.

 

14 E and 15 E century, the city brought a great prosperity, and not only economically. During this period, the religious movement the Modern Devotion also arose, led by Geert Grote. The Latin School was a renowned educational institution. After the 15 e century Deventer has remained a true city, although of lesser fame than before, but still always a prominent settlement at the IJssel.

 What is special about Deventer is that much of its rich history has been preserved. Few cities in the Netherlands can display as many monuments as Deventer. In addition, almost all the monuments in the city have been restored over the past thirty years. The monumental Bergkwartier is a good example of this.

 Sports

Deventer is the home of professional Football club Go Ahead Eagles, who are housed in stadium De Adelaarshorst. De Adelaarshorst is situated in a 1930s neighbourhood and one of the oldest stadiums still in use today.[citation needed] The club was founded in 1902 as Be Quick, although the name was soon changed to Go Ahead at the request of the Dutch Football Association. The suffix Eagles was added in 1971, following a suggestion from the then coach, Barry Hughes. Go Ahead Eagles has been the club of Marc Overmars, Paul Bosvelt, and Bert van Marwijk, whilst providing Henk ten Cate and Leo Beenhakker with their first experience of management.

 The 1992 founded skating rink De Scheg, which is semi-indoor since 2011, is in the top 10 of fastest skating tracks of the Netherlands. It has been the training accommodation of skaters including Olympic champion Mark Tuitert and the retired former world champion sprint Erben Wennemars.

 Deventer also houses a number of watersports clubs, due to its situation on the banks of the river IJssel.

 Events and festivals

In the first weekend of July, the city centre is the scene of the open air festival "Deventer op stelten" (Deventer on Stilts). Actors and artists give free performances in the streets and on the Brink square. All actors must use stilts during their acts.

In August, Deventer is home to Europe's largest book fair, attracting 125,000 visitors.

The Dickens Festival in December sees some of the oldest streets and alleys in the city dressed up in the style of the Victorian era. In 2018, the festival attracted 125,000 visitors.
