Railway connections

Hoorn is connected to the Dutch railway network, and has two stations: Hoorn and Hoorn Kersenboogerd. Also, it is the starting point of the historical railway between Hoorn and Medemblik.

Hoorn–Medemblik heritage railway

Tramstation Hoorn; july 2015

The Hoorn–Medemblik heritage railway operated by the Museumstoomtram Hoorn Medemblik is a heritage railway in the Netherlands. It runs from Hoorn to Medemblik, a distance of about 20 km.

History

Signal hut and sidings, Hoorn Heritage Railway

The original railway line was operated by Locaalspoorwegmaatschappij Hollands Noorderkwartier (1884 - 1935). The line was opened on 3 November 1887. The track followed a circuitous route to reduce the amount of land that had to be compulsorily purchased. The line used steam traction; diesel traction being introduced in 1929.

The line was closed to passenger services from 1 January 1936 to 29 May 1940.

On 5 January 1941 the line was permanently closed to passenger services; as was the railway station in Medemblik

Heritage railway

Today, the railway is operated as a tourist attraction. The centrepiece of its collection is the former Nederlandse Spoorwegen locomotive 7742 Bello, the only preserved light steam engine in the Netherlands. Other steam locomotives in running order include three tramway engines, two of which are enclosed tram engines (steam dummies). The remaining ones are: three industrial engines; a German engine which is now being rebuilt as a replica of a Dutch railway shunting engine (of a series of which several also served on steam tramways); and a locomotive of industrial type which served at a steam tram company in Zuid-Holland, still awaiting restoration.

Seven of the nine steam locomotives are official Dutch railway monuments.

NS 7742 and the two enclosed tram engines are in regular use: Bello mainly in the peak season afternoon train, and the two steam dummies mainly in the 10 o' clock train (Tue/Wed/Thu during peak season).

Eight steam tram carriages are in regular service, as well as several steam tram goods wagons.

Bello and the three tramway engines originate from the provinces Noord-Holland, Zuid-Holland and Limburg. The serviceable steam tram carriages originate from the provinces Friesland, Gelderland, Noord-Holland, Zuid-Holland and Zeeland.

The livery and presentation of the cars is as they were in 1926.

The station is twinned with the Bluebell Railway in England. The ride between Hoorn and Medemblik is often combined by tourists with a trip from Medemblik to Enkhuizen by boat.

On the disused side of platform 2 of Huddersfield railway station in northern England, an old carriage is bolted to the ground, and set in its window is a Dutch plaque commemorating 100 years of Stoomtram Hoorn - Medemblik.

Film

The railway was used as film location for the 1979 movie The Riddle of the Sands: the station building of 'Emden' was in fact Medemblik, and Twisk was used to represent 'Bensersiel'.

6, Durability

The aim is a climate-neutral city in 2040. To achieve this goal, a program has been set up consisting of three pillars: (1) Energy transition, (2) Circular economy, (3) Climate adaptation and biodiversity. Cooperation at regional level is necessary to establish the right connections and measures and to implement all three pillars of the Sustainable City program. The starting point is starting locally and expanding regionally.

1. Energy

transition The energy transition consists of four parts: savings, sustainable generation, heat and mobility. Together, the activities in these four components will lead to an energy-neutral Hoorn in 2040. In this context, cooperation with residents and companies within the municipality, as well as with regional municipalities and stakeholders HNNK, Liander, PWN, province and regional companies, is necessary in order to actually achieve the objectives already set. . These objectives are:

Objectives Hoorn

-- An energy-neutral city in 2040.

-- 2022 sustainable energy generation 23%.

-- 2022 energy savings 5%.

7, environmental code

As of January 1, 2021, the Environmental Act is in force. This law combines 26 laws of building, environment, water, spatial planning and nature into one new law. In 2021, an Environmental Vision will be drawn up for the entire municipality and an environmental plan will be drawn up for at least two areas appointed by the Council. Preparations for this will start in 2020.

As of 1 January 2021, the entire permit-issuing system has been redesigned so that residents and companies can gain clarity about their permit in an easy and fast way. We will implement an Environment Table for this.

The Environmental Act requires a different role from the organization, the college and the city council on various points. We will tackle the development of these roles together in 2020.

What are we going to do for that?

-- In order to be ready for granting permits in accordance with the Environmental Act on 1-1-2021, various work processes are being adapted so that complex permit applications can be processed within eight weeks.

-- We will simplify the requirements regarding licensing. Spatial policy is being adapted for this, including for simple building applications.

-- Courses and games are being developed for employees and the city council.

-- Various digital systems are being converted so that they meet the standard set by law and improve services.

-- Two (at least) two pilots with environmental plans are held.

-- The environment table and the associated organization are set up.

-- A number of experiments are being organized for participation and the Environment Table, among others.

-- The implemented accelerated permit granting app is being evaluated.

-- The (regional) Environmental Vision is being prepared.

8, Innovative city

In its thinking and actions, the municipality wants to become 'more city'. Being 'more city' means that our services match what residents and companies expect of us in that context: faster, customization, good contact and connecting interests. Together with residents, entrepreneurs and organizations in the city, we search for solutions to urban challenges such as parking nuisance, crowd management, vacancy, enforcement and safety through innovation and through a networked partnership.

The Innovative City program contributes to this ambition with the pillars of service, city power and data-driven management.

What are we going to do for that?

1, Services:

-- Implementing process improvements based on the direct feedback from our residents and entrepreneurs. An example of this is the improvement of the public space notification process.

-- Make employees more aware of their role in services and the effect of good communication on the satisfaction of our residents and entrepreneurs. We do this by actively providing solicited and unsolicited advice throughout the organization with regard to improving services. In addition, structured discussions are held with all teams in the organization based on the established vision of service provision and a communication campaign is carried out to improve awareness among employees.

2, Data-driven control:

-- The (further) development of dashboards and other data products within various domains and fields. Examples of this are the social domain, city management, undermining business operations and the development of a district / street monitor.

-- Developing a dashboard for the city center in which it collaborates with partners (for example with the city community and entrepreneurs) in the city.

3, City power:

-- Connecting people, organizations and networks. We do this, for example, through the city community “For a beautiful City” (VEMS). VEMS is developing further by improving the connection with the neighborhood programs, by organizing initiative markets that connect with the city council and by investigating how the city community can play a role in improving the economy in the city center.

-- We see that the municipal organization is not always able to properly fulfill its changing role and really think along with an initiator. To make the realization of initiatives and ideas from the city better possible, the method of guiding initiators is improved.

五、风景名胜，景点

Westfries Museum

The Westfries Museum is a museum of regional history established in the Dutch city of Hoorn.

It was opened on 10 January 1880 and has been established in a monumental building dating to 1632. This building originally belonged to the Gecommitteerde Raden van West-Friesland en het Noorderkwartier, as a part of the Staten van Holland en West-Friesland, and later became a court. Until 1932 part of the building housed the kanton's court and part of its museum.

The museum has an extensive collection of paintings, silver objects, porcelain, historic firearms, objects of the schutterij and VOC objects. The collection is exhibited in 25 rooms, of which one is a style-room. In 1953, 15th century cellars were discovered under the building. These have been restored and are now used as exhibition spaces for archaeological objects from Hoorn and its surroundings.

The museum is supported by the Friends Foundation of the Westfries Museum that was set up on the initiative of the Westfries Society.

On 10 January 2005, the night the museum celebrated its 125th anniversary, four people stole 21 paintings of its paintings, including a piece by Jan van Goyen from his youth, and part of the silver collection, valued in the millions of Euros. Four of the paintings were found back in Ukraine in April 2016.

Notable buildings

Hoorn has a very high number of surviving 17th and 18th century houses, especially north of the harbour area, adding much to the character of the area. Other notable buildings include:

The main Protestant church on Kerkplein, converted to shops and community uses in 1997 but currently (2018) closed.

The Waag (17th-century weigh-house) at the junction of Grote Oost and the main town square

The 15th-century Hoofdtoren, the old harbour control building

A very fine line of 17th-century houses and original shop-fronts on the harbour edge at Hoofd

Maria or Kruittoren (1508), on the Achter de Vest, built in late gothic style as part of the city wall. Most of the wall has been taken down but this tower still stands.

Hoorn has notable modern buildings as well, for example:

Schouwburg Het Park, a theatre and congress centre which was opened on 25 June 2004 by Queen Beatrix (since 2013 Princess Beatrix). They started building the theatre in 2000 but due to faulty construction work a part of the theatre (which was not yet finished) came crashing down in the night of 20 April 2001.

六、历史文化

Founded in 716, Hoorn rapidly grew to become a major harbour town. During Holland's 'Golden Age' (or 'Golden Century'), Hoorn was an important home base for the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and a very prosperous centre of trade. The Hoorn fleet plied the seven seas and returned laden with precious commodities. Exotic spices such as pepper, nutmeg, cloves, and mace were sold at vast profits. With their skill in trade and seafaring, sons of Hoorn established the town's name far and wide. Jan Pieterszoon Coen (1587–1629) is famous for his violent raids in Dutch Indies (now Indonesia), where he "founded" the city of Batavia in 1619 (now Jakarta). He has a big statue on the Rode Steen square in the center of Hoorn.

In 1618 Willem Bontekoe (1587–1657) undertook his first and only voyage for the VOC. His story of his travel and hardship found its way into the history books when he published his adventures in 1646 under the title Journael ofte gedenckwaerdige beschrijvinge van de Oost-Indische reyse van Willem Ysbrantsz. Bontekoe van Hoorn, begrijpende veel wonderlijcke en gevaerlijcke saecken hem daer in wedervaren ('Journal, or memorable description, of the East-Indian voyage of Willem Ysbrantz. Bontekoe of Hoorn, comprising many wondrous and dangerous things experienced by him'). In 1616, the explorer Willem Corneliszoon Schouten braved furious storms as he rounded the southernmost tip of South America. He named it Kaap Hoorn (Cape Horn) in honour of his home town.

Hoorn's fortunes declined somewhat in the eighteenth century. The prosperous trading port became little more than a sleepy fishing village on the Zuiderzee. Following Napoleonic occupation, there was a period during which the town gradually turned its back on the sea. It developed to become the market for the entire West Frisian agricultural region. Stallholders and shopkeepers devoted themselves to trading in dairy produce and seeds. When the railway and metalled roads came to Hoorn in the late nineteenth century, the town rapidly took its rightful place as a conveniently located and readily accessible centre in the network of towns and villages which make up the province of Noord-Holland. In 1932, the Afsluitdijk, or Great Enclosing Dyke, was completed, and Hoorn was no longer a seaport.

The years after the Second World War saw a period of renewed growth. At the centre of a flourishing horticultural region, Hoorn developed an extremely varied economy. During the 1960s, Hoorn was designated an 'overflow' city to relieve pressure on the overcrowded Randstad region. Thousands of people swapped their cramped little apartments in Amsterdam for a family house with garden in one of Hoorn's modern new developments.

On 26 March 2007, Hoorn celebrated 650 years as a city: in 1357 Hoorn was awarded city rights by the Count of Holland after a lump sum payment of 1500 schilden to the Count.

Etymology

The origin of the name Hoorn, even in old spelling Hoern(e) or Hoirne, is surrounded in myths. Hoorn's name, according to Old Frisian legends, is derived from the stepson of King Redbad (Radboud), called Hornus. Another story about the origin of the name is that it is derived from a sign depicting a post horn in an early 14th-century hanging outside one of the establishments situated on the Roode Steen Square. A third version says that the name was derived from the horn shape of one of its first ports. The author of the 'Origo Civitatis Hornensis' (see page. 256, 'Uit de schemer van Hoorns verleden') assumes that name Hoorn was derived from Damphoorn. Damphoorn is the medieval name for a weed that could be made into whistles, which grew in abundance in the area outside the dykes of Hoorn. Chronicler Velius rejects this statement because there are no old historical entries that Hoorn was called Damphoorn. He wrote: The name was from the start Hoorn: not (against better judgement) derived from the weed Damphoorn, as the current sentiment holds (De name was van eersten af Hoorn: niet (behoudens beter oordeel) van het kruyt Damphoorn, als t'ghemeyne ghevoelen van noch heden hout). Velius also rejects the assertion that the name's origin is Dampter Horn: a neighbourhood of the village Dampten, which flooded and had fallen into disuse.

The name is most probably derived from Hornicwed, a name that is popping up in early mediaeval documents. The medieval meaning of hornic is 'corner', with wed or wedor being the medieval word for water. Many places and neighbourhoods in the Netherlands are called, even today, Heurne, Huurne and Horn. Hornicwed would therefore refer to the location of a corner on the coastline: the location of Hoorn at the Zuiderzee. We see hornic in the meaning of 'corner' also reflected in another municipality in the mediaeval County of Holland: Uithoorn, meaning uithoek, which refers to a certain occupied area (or corner) at some distance.

It is also sometimes argued that hornic refers to a corner in a dike, but this raises doubts: the coast of the Zuiderzee was originally farther away from Hoorn compared to the present day: the Westfriese Omringdijk ran, originating from the West, in a straight line to Schardam and in front of this dyke there were then low-lying tracts of land, where the village of Dampten was located according to Velius. This area was abandoned and flooded after 1391, following the abandonment of the old dyke. A new dyke was built farther inland, resulting in a bay which is now the Hoornse Hop. Hoorn was already in existence then.

Unicorn Events

The city of Hoorn is located in the head of North Holland and has no less than 70,000 inhabitants. Hoorn has a rich VOC history, which means that this city has many sights from its glorious past. Beautiful ornate buildings, famous statues (including Jan Pieterszoon Coen, Scheepsjongens van Bontekoe), the old prison island 'het Oostereiland' and a historic old harbor are some of the special sights of this beautiful city. But in addition to history, Hoorn is above all a city of conviviality with the central square 'de Roode steen' where you can enjoy a drink and snack on one of the many terraces!
