History of Wageningen
Roof tiles with the stamp of a Roman legion were found at the bottom of the Wageningse Berg. However, there is no evidence of a Roman position on this north side of the Rhine. The Roman Vada probably referred to a settlement near the North Brabant village of Kessel aan de Maas and not Wageningen, as had long been assumed.
The oldest known settlement in Wageningen as a predecessor to the city was probably located at the foot of the Holleweg. Dès le début de l'époque médiévale, le site a été agrandi ; au nord de la colline de Wageningen, on a trouvé des restes de tuf et d'autres matériaux de construction. In the course of the second millennium, a new quarter developed at the foot of the mountains. After the construction of a château, which linked the Wageningse Bergs valley to the Hoogstraat to the east of the town, the town was located in the last quarter of the town, the Heerenstraat (or Achterstraat) and the church. Later, the regular side street pattern (Beuningstraat, Junusstraat, Rouwenhofstraat, Riemsdijkstraat) was also laid out on the north side of Hoogstraat.
On June 12, 1263, Wageningen was granted city rights by Count Otto II of Gelre.
After the fortifications were dismantled in the 19th century, part of the former city walls were built on, including the buildings east of Schoolstraat and Molenstraat and the buildings on Emmapark. A synagogue and Baptist church were built on the former western wall at the beginning of the 20th century. These two buildings were demolished in 1940 and have never been rebuilt in the same place. After the Second World War, the wall was renovated following the construction of Walstraat Street and student accommodation was built in one part of the wall. These latter are still there today. Finally, in 2000, a memorial commemorating the many Jewish victims of the Second World War from Wageningen was unveiled on the site of the former rampart next to the road.
Other parts of the former fortress were given a park-like structure, such as the former Noorderplantsoen. Lors de la construction d'une rue verte (Plantsoen), un élément de cette structure a été construit. La rue Hoogstraat, qui relie le port de Berg et le port de Nudepoort à l'ouest, est depuis de nombreuses années la rue dans laquelle les habitants de Ladenbesitzer s'installent. This street has been pedestrianized since 1975. Dans de nombreuses autres rues de la Hoogstraat, comme Kapelstraat, Nieuwstraat et Junusstraat, on trouve également de grandes concentrations de l'histoire de l'art. Gastronomy is concentrated on the market, Heerenstraat and Molenstraat.
Between ca. 350 and ca. 900, the champ de tir situé à l'angle du Geertjesweg et du Diedenweg a été aménagé. The apartments are located in the various villages of Wageningen, which are situated on the border between the moraine flank and the Binnenveld. Les villes de Peppeld (près de Wildekamp) et de Leeuwen (dans le quartier des restaurants Het Gesprek, c'est-à-dire De Keijzer) sont très connues ; le trinkbecken caractéristique ou le rinne ne sont pas encore disponibles dans ces deux villes. The hamlet of Dolder was located at the intersection of Van Uvenweg/Churchillweg/Dolderstraat. Dolder of Thulere was already mentioned in 838, as was Brakel (Bracola) on the corner of Julianastraat and Van Uvenweg.
The various quarters were built according to the same principle: farms around a common agricultural area (Brink), to the east the arable land (narrow on the then much larger Wageningen) and to the west the hamlets the meadows in the Binnenveld, very regularly laid out. This Binnenveld was cultivated from the thirteenth century onwards.
Significant farms were the Stenen Kamer in Dolder (built in 1597, demolished in 1954) and the Tarthorst on the Tarthorsterweg, now Haverlanden (demolished in 1969). Les fermes ont été reliées, par des travaux de terrassement, à la ville de Binnenveld. The Droevendaalsesteeg sheep drive has remained relatively intact. Old alders can still be found along the path.
In addition to being a trading port, Wageningen was also important to the Counts and Dukes of Gelre as a fortress against the Bishops of Utrecht and later the Dukes of Burgundy. La vieille ville (plus petite qu'à l'époque) et certaines parts de la ville (rénovée) sont encore à voir. The last king, Karel van Egmond, is dead; thus, in 1526-1527, the Château de Wageningen, situated in the center of the city, was reconstructed. The foundations of three men and part of the outer wall family are no longer visible. At the end of the 19th century, the Bowlespark residential area was built on the former castle grounds, most of which still exists and is protected as an urban monument.
In 1702, Wageningen Castle was sold by the States of Gelderland to Anna Maria Ripperda, widow of Drost Assueer Torck, mother of the last Drost Lubbert Adolph Torck. La famille Torck a transformé le château en un petit château de ville avec un jardin de style baroque. Lubbert Adolph Torck was married to Petronella van Hoorn, the granddaughter of one of the governors of the East Indies, who had inherited it. He later inherited Rosendael Castle in Rozendaal near Arnhem from his aunt. Torck exercé une activité politique à La Haye et, en tant que ministre de l'agriculture de Wageningen, il a participé à divers travaux de recherche. He invested in the town, where he built villages for the residents of the Dutch East India Company. This project is very important, because Wageningen put in place a unique complex - the "Bassecour" - to accommodate the National School of Rural Economy in the town in 1873.
Wageningen had several windmills in the past. Auparavant, au Moyen-Âge, on trouvait deux éoliennes sur le chemin de la mort, le chemin général de Foulkes. The last of these mills, the Eendracht, was demolished around 1996. De Vlijt mill, built at the end of the 19th century, is located on the Harnjesweg, formerly surrounded by farmland. This mill is one of the few that is still professionally in operation, in particular a large quantity of organically milled grain products is available.
