Berkelland Halal Travel Guide

Berkelland is the most northeast municipality of the Achterhoek, bordering the Overijssel|Overijsselsche sub-region of Twente, as well as Nordrhein-Westfalen in the east. The municipality is, as many other of the Achterhoekse municipalities, not very old. The municipality exists just over ten years, being created on January first of 2005 by merging the former municipalities of Borculo, Eibergen, Neede and Ruurlo.

Borculo

Borculo_1925_3 - Mostly destroyed church of Borculo after the Cyclone of Borculo, commonly called the storm of 1925.

Borculo is a city originally built around a historic castle known to have existed during the twelfth century. It has been built on a well-defendable place along the Groenlose Slinge and Berkel rivers. Borculo hasn't gained its city rights since 1375, which has been known as the city rights were regained in 1590. The original documents got lost during a fire. The region got bought by Prince William V of Orange-Nassau in 1777, which gives the current king of the Netherlands, Willem-Alexander and the title of Lord of Borculo. Most notable in Borculo's history are the storm of 1925, commonly called the Cyclone of Borculo, which led to a massive increase in tourism, disaster tourism especially. The storm of 1925 destroyed the entire town of Borculo. Eyewitnesses spoke of several tornadoes. Newspapers reported of hundreds of deaths and of men and women being picked off of the ground and thrown around for hundreds of meters. The storm was unlike anything ever seen in the Netherlands. What precisely happened on that 10th of August is debatable, but the most common assumption is that a tornado of one to two kilometers in diameter hit the Achterhoek that night. Two years later the city of Borculo, having mostly recovered from 1925, nearly got hit by another tornado of scale Fujita_Scale|F4. This time, however, Eibergen took most of the damage.

Eibergen

Eibergen got its city rights rather late, in the fifteenth century. Eibergen, however, never became a proper city, as local law was practised and written in Borculo. Eibergen got heavily damaged by the 1927 tornado, which hit on June first. Though it was a weaker storm than the one that hit Borculo two years earlier and the town did get damaged severely and many lost their lives. The biggest monument in Eibergen is the Mallumse Molen, which dates back to 1748. The building consists of a water mill and the mulder house (miller house) that belongs to it. The mill, lock, mulder house and the waterworks around it all once belonged to a large manor. These four remaining monuments are open every Saturday, when volunteers operate the mill.

Neede

Needse_Berg - The Hollandse Molen (Dutch Windmill) near the Needse Berg.

Neede has always been a small settlement. It was created as a trade post on the road between Deventer and Vreden. The church was constructed in 1506. The church itself doesn't stand anymore, yet its tower still does and is now part of the Hervormde or Grote Kerk.

Southern Neede was connected to several rail lines in 1884. The town had a large station which was mostly necessary for the many lines that connected to the station. Amongst these was the line between Doetinchem and Hengelo, a line to Winterswijk and one to Hellendoorn. These lines got removed one by one and by 2001 the station too got demolished.

Similar to Eibergen, Neede got severely damaged by the 1927 storm. All of the village's industry got damaged. The industry mostly existed of stone factories and textile factories. The train depots got destroyed completely, train cars were thrown around and entire houses broke down.

Though geographically Neede is located in the Achterhoek, its customs and language are closer related to that of Twente.

Ruurlo

Huize Ruurlo Castle Netherlands - Ruurlo Castle

Ruurlo has never been more than a small village that wasn't of much importance to Gelderland. The rail line between Zutphen and Winterswijk which opened in 1878, however, opened new opportunities to the small village. The town grew a bit, but grew more in tourism, as the main attraction, Kasteel Ruurlo (Ruurlo Castle), was accessible to people from all over the nation.
