City Hall Haarlem 1890

The City Hall in Haarlem is the seat of the city's government. It was built in the 14th century replacing the Count's castle.

Around 1100 a wooden building was constructed on the location of the current Gravenzaal of the City Hall. Traces of this building were found in 1955.
After large fires in 1347 and 1351, William II, Count of Holland donated the remains of the Gravenzaal to the city's municipality. A new building was built there. The central square building dates from the Middle Ages, but the distinctive façade of the building was designed by architect Lieven de Key and built from 1602-1604. The way it originally looked can be seen in a painting from 1460 by the Master of Bellaert. Originally the city hall was just the front of the building, and the rear cloister belonged to the Dominican brotherhood. After the Protestant Reformation this came into the possession of the city council and it is now a large complex with offices and meeting rooms. Both the Frans Hals Museum and the Haarlem Public Library originally were located in the city hall.

The town hall is still used for civic weddings and nearly every Friday in Spring, brides can be seen entering and leaving by the main stairway. All year on Saturdays and Mondays there is a big market in front of the City Hall, where on Saturdays mainly flowers, household goods, and food is sold, though on Mondays the products are mainly cloth, sewing accessories and clothing. Although the market is frequented by the local population, it is also a tourist attraction and worth a visit, if only to try the raw herring from the fish stand, or stroop wafels from the stroop wafel stand. The town hall is also still used for state visits, most recently when the King and Queen paid a visit to Haarlem on 14 June 2013. They heard the local choir Zang en Vriendschap sing and received a book about all the previous royal state visits to Haarlem. ( source, wiki )

Marken was an island in the Zuiderzee.

For some time during the later 19th and early 20th centuries, Marken and its inhabitants were the focus of considerable attention by folklorists, ethnographers and physical anthropologists, who regarded the small fishing town as a relic of the traditional native culture that was destined to disappear as the modernization of the Netherlands gained pace. Among them was Johann Friedrich Blumenbach who examined a skull from the island of humans which he called Batavus genuinus; and was the Belgian painter Xavier Mellery who stayed in Marken at the request of Charles De Coster. Mellery was asked to perform illustrative work and delivered several intimist works.
The projects of Cornelis Lely was to incorporated the island into the Markerwaard. The dike, built in 1941 in the north, is the first phase of that project which was stopped by the war.
In 1983, the Marker Museum about the history of the island was opened.
Marken was a separate municipality until 1991, when it was merged into Waterland. ( wikipedia )

Tarihi:

Marken, Zuiderzee'deki bir adaydı.
19. yüzyılın sonu ve 20. yüzyılın başlarında Marken ve sakinleri; folklorcular, etnograflar ve fizik antropologlar tarafından dikkat çekiyordu. Küçük balıkçı kasabasını geleneksel yerli kültürün bir parçası olarak görülüyordu. Bu sırara Hollanda'nın modernizasyonu hız kazandı. Bunların arasında, insan adasından bir kafatasını muayene eden ve Batavus genuinus olarak adlandırdığı Johann Friedrich Blumenbach vardı; Charles De Coster'in isteği üzerine Marken'de kalmış Belçikalı ressam Xavier Mellery'dir. Mellery'den örnek çalışmalar yapması istenmiş ve birkaç intimist çalışma yayınlamıştır.

Cornelis Lely'nin projeleri, adayı Markerwaard'a dahil etmekti. 1941'de kuzeyde yaptırılan mayın, savaşın durdurduğu projenin ilk safhasıdır.

1983'te adanın tarihi hakkında Marker Müzesi açıldı.
