Alphen aan den Rijn is a city and municipality in the western Netherlands, in the province of South Holland, between Leiden and Utrecht. The city is situated on the banks of the river Oude Rijn (Old Rhine), where the river Gouwe branches off. The municipality had a population of 110,986 in 2019, and covers an area of 132.49 km2 (51.15 sq mi) of which 5.91 km2 (2.28 sq mi) is water.

The municipality of Alphen aan den Rijn also includes the communities of Aarlanderveen, Zwammerdam, and Boskoop. The city is located in what is called the 'Green Heart' of the Netherlands, which is a somewhat less densely populated centre area of the Randstad.

The name "Alphen" is probably derived from the name of the Roman fort Albaniana, meaning "settlement at the white water". Its remains still lie underneath the city centre.

Alphen aan den Rijn railway station

History

The railway station was opened in 1878, as part of a railway connection between Leiden and Woerden. A connection between Alphen aan den Rijn and Uithoorn was opened in 1915.

The line was extended to Gouda in 1932, but the connection between Alphen aan den Rijn and Uithoorn was closed in 1936.

The railway station was renovated for the RijnGouweLijn from Gouda in 2004, involving the construction of an additional platform.

In 2007 a major redesign of the railway station and its surrounding area started. The original railway station building (built in 1878) was demolished to make room for a tunnel underneath the railway and a bike storage facility. The new tunnel links the old town centre with the new district "Kerk en Zanen", which used to be separated from the town centre by the railway. The tunnel and bike storage facility opened in mid 2010.

Refurbishing Zegersloot North

Zegersloot Noord is located between Burgemeester Bruins Slotsingel, the Aarkanaal, the Zegerbaan and the Bloemenwijk. The area was created about 40 years ago. To increase the natural value, natural management was chosen 25 years ago. This means that nature in the area takes its own course as much as possible and that human intervention is minimized.

Ecological research into biodiversity shows that the natural management and circulation of Galloway cattle does not have the desired effect. That is why the area is being renovated considerably. By increasing the natural values and biodiversity, we boost the experience of the area with educational elements.

The Tree Party Day will also be celebrated in Zegersloot Noord on 18 March 2020 . (The Tree Day has been postponed due to the corona virus )

On that day the heart of the forest is opened. This will consist of 3 themed forests: a bee forest, a climate, an edible forest. There will also be a Tree Circle and a Tiny Forest. The whole area will then be officially renamed IreneBos.

Work will be carried out for 3 years to make the area future-proof. The Galloway cows keep their place in the area. But by limiting their area, nature gets more space, which improves biodiversity. Until 2023, the municipality will gradually renovate the area.

3, Hazerswoude-Dorp

Westeinde reconstruction

The road surface and cycle path of the Westeinde in Hazerswoude-Dorp are in poor condition. It is therefore necessary to carry out major maintenance in March / April 2021. There are also various problems such as:

-- Flooding on the cycle path

-- Insufficient cycling comfort due to tiles and irregularities

-- The dike must be raised at a number of locations in connection with the height required by the Rijnland water board.

After the reconstruction, the road will be future-proof and will meet the requirements of the water board and the requirements set by the municipality for its public space.

Improvements

After the reconstruction, the layout of the Westeinde remains largely as it is today. It is necessary to raise the cycle path in connection with the flooding. That is why we, together with the residents, are looking at the connection of the plots to the public road.

4, Cold Church on the Rhine

Rhine Park

Rijnpark is a housing project, located east of the core of Koudekerk aan den Rijn. A total of 273 houses and apartments are provided in Rijnpark. At least 25% of the homes will consist of social rental or owner-occupied housing.

Urban design location Rijnpark

On 15 December 2016, the municipal council adopted the Rijnpark zoning plan to realize 273 homes. Companies and local residents subsequently lodged an appeal with the Council of State. The Council of State issued its decision on 27 June 2018 and declared the appeal justified. As a result, the zoning plan was destroyed at various points and the zoning plan had to be brought into procedure again. The destroyed points have been restored.

In connection with the Latexfalt odor contour, the urban development plan has been slightly adjusted, so that all homes are outside this contour. This has been translated into a new design zoning plan Rijnpark.

The draft Rijnpark zoning plan was available for inspection from 29 August 2019 to 9 October 2019. A number of views have also been submitted against this draft zoning plan. There is not yet a clear schedule about the handling of the views and determination of the zoning plan.

五、风景名胜，景点

Alphen aan den Rijn has the following attractions:

1, Avifauna Bird Park – the world's first dedicated bird park, opened in 1950.

Date opened 17 May 1950

Location Alphen aan den Rijn, South Holland, Netherlands

Memberships NVD and EAZA

Major exhibits Birds

Website: http://www.avifauna.nl/

Vogelpark Avifauna (English: Avifauna Bird Park) is a large bird park in Alphen aan den Rijn, in the western Netherlands. It was the first dedicated bird park in the world. The park has a lot of greenery and ponds, and also a restaurant and a children's playground.

History

The zoo was set up in the garden of the Ten Rhijn estate by the owner, Van den Brink, and it was opened on 17 May 1950, the first bird park in the world. Toucans were featured on the posters for the park's opening, and a toucan has been depicted on the zoo's logo since, and also on the logos of the Van der Valk restaurant chain and Hotel Avifauna, which is situated on the edge of the park.

On the night of 23 December 2005 a fire broke out. About twenty birds were killed. The stables and an adjoining house were completely destroyed by the fire, and replacement buildings were completed in 2008.

In 2013 Avifauna separated from Van der Valk and became a foundation. From this moment onward, all revenue goes to the park and the animal care.

After that Avifauna kept improving the park. The first ever mammals in Avifauna arrived in 2014. Three species of prosimians made their entrance in the zoo.

Visitors of the park loved the prosimians. So Avifauna decided to open her doors to a different mammal in 2015. A few endangered red pandas found a new home in the zoo. They live in together with different Chinese birds. Avifauna is the first zoo to ever put red pandas together with birds!

The year after that, in 2016, Avifauna decided to open a new area in the zoo. An island named Nubose is now a popular part of the zoo. The prosimians live here, together with different kinds of birds and even wild guinea pigs!

Avifauna will keep improving and growing during the coming years, improving the pleasure of the visitor and more importantly, the animal care.

2, Archeon – a theme park about Dutch History, with 43 replica buildings from prehistoric, Roman, and Medieval eras. It opened in 1994.

Archeon is an archeological living museum in Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands. It opened in 1994.

The museum features various historical periods of Dutch history via Historical reenactments. Among the periods portrayed are the Stone Age, the Roman times and the Medieval period. The museum also contains an arena, where reenactments of gladiator fights are held

Archeon is host to several festivals such as the Midsummer Fair, the Midwinter Fair and the Roman Festival.

3, Zegersloot Recreation Park – park with an artificial lake, popular for hiking, cycling, windsurfing, wakeboarding and water skiing.

六、历史文化

The area around Alphen aan den Rijn has been inhabited for 2000 years. In the Roman era, the Oude Rijn was the main branch of the Rhine River and formed the north border of the Roman Empire. Since the rule of Emperor Claudius (41–54 AD), divisions of the Roman army were stationed here. Consequently, several Roman fortifications were located along the Oude Rijn, including castellum Albanianae in the centre of Alphen. The Romans had also built the first bridge over the Oude Rijn. Alphen was therefore an important commercial site in the area until Germanic raids ended that in 240 AD.

After recurring problems with flooding, especially in Utrecht and Leiden, the Oude Rijn was dammed at Wijk bij Duurstede in 1122, thereby making the Lek River the main branch of the Rhine. The Oude Rijn has not flooded since. During the Middle Ages, Alphen was a fiefdom called Alphen en Rietveld.

In the 17th century, Alphen became prominent again as a hub for commerce. The Oude Rijn was used for boat traffic; there are still portions along the river where the towpath is present.

The current municipality was formed in 1918 through the amalgamation of the smaller municipalities of Alphen, Aarlanderveen, and Oudshoorn. In 1964, the municipality of Zwammerdam was added as well. In 2014 the municipalities of Boskoop and Rijnwoude were amalgamated as well, doubling the land area and increasing the population to over 100,000.

During the Second World War, the majority of Jews from Alphen were deported and subsequently murdered; only a few survived. After the war, the Jewish congregation was disbanded and merged with the one in Leiden. A Jewish cemetery on the Aarkade was founded in 1802, but it was abandoned and razed in the 1960s, with the remains re-interred in Katwijk; in 2012, after fifteen years of community activism by local historian Anke Bakker and CDA council member Alice Besseling, a monument was installed and the area turned into a city park.

Since the 1950s, the city began to grow rapidly. A large new neighbourhood was built on the north side and Alphen became mostly a commuter city. Other urban developments however did create local employment. Since the 1990s, a similar new development was built at the city's south side.

In recent years, a large part of the city centre has undergone a full urban renewal. Many buildings from the 1950s and earlier have been demolished to make place for modern architecture. This "masterplan" included the addition of a new public square next to the riverbank, the construction of a performing arts theatre/cinema, an upgrade of local shops and the creation of pedestrian streets. As of 2006, all of these projects on the left riverbank Hoge Zijde have been finished and a new similar masterplan for the right riverbank Lage Zijde has been developed and is being executed now.

On 9 April 2011, a gunman opened fire at a shopping centre in Alphen aan den Rijn, killing six people and subsequently taking his own life.

On 3 August 2015, a newly built bridge flap of the under-renovation Juliana Bridge on the Oude Rijn collapsed. It was being hoisted by two cranes, different in size, floating on a pontoon that was not stabilized. It became unbalanced shortly after the lifting started, fell and collapsed onto buildings. There were no injuries and fatalities, many inhabitants having already cleared the area. In total 51 properties were damaged.
