Maastricht, my hometown: Grote Staat and Dinghui

Maastricht, my hometown:

Grote Staat and Dinghuis (at the junction with Kleine Staat), in a state in which we currently (with COVID-19) wish it looked more often: empty!

The Dinghuis is a medieval court building, located in the center of the Dutch city of Maastricht. The name 'Dinghuis' is derived from the legal function that the building had for a long time. In ancient Germanic times, a 'thing' was a place of jurisdiction.

The current Dinghuis is not the first building with that name on this spot. The first mention of denchuys dates from 1399, but in 1377 the house De Mayo already stood here.

Prison cells were located in the cellars, and later elsewhere in the building. Even after the completion of the Town Hall on the Markt, the Dinghuis continued to be used as a prison.

The plan to add a few USB ports to the SOLFIE system has now also been implemented. I can now also charge my phone and even my rechargeable clippers or other USB-rechargeable devices.

Maastricht, my hometown: The Poort Waerachtig is

Maastricht, my hometown:

The Poort Waerachtig is a gate in Maastricht located in the Jekerkwartier district, between the Begijnenstraat and the Sint Pieterskade. The gate is located between the two late medieval rondelles Haet ende Nijt and De Vijf Koppen. The neo-Gothic gate was constructed in 1887-'88 as a breakthrough in the wall of the 'Nieuwstad', to gain access to the newly constructed Villa Park. The gate is therefore not an original city gate in the city walls, as is often incorrectly assumed. The designer is probably the Maastricht historian esquire Victor de Stuers. The gate originally had battlements, but they collapsed in 1936 and were never reinstalled.

Maastricht, my hometown: The Kruisherenhotel is

Maastricht, my hometown:

The Kruisherenhotel is a five-star hotel in the center of the Dutch city of Maastricht. The hotel, part of the Oostwegel Collection (formerly: Château Hotels & Restaurants), is housed in the 15th-century Kruisheren monastery on the Kommel in the Kommelkwartier district.

The initiator of the establishment of a luxury hotel at this location is the Limburg entrepreneur Camille Oostwegel. Oostwegel had built up a certain reputation in South Limburg since the 1980s by buying up and restoring monumental buildings, and then giving them a catering function. The Kruisheren Hotel was the fifth building complex acquired by Oostwegel and so far the most luxurious of the four, currently three more hotels within the group.
The former monastery complex of the Crosiers, which in the 19th and 20th centuries had served as a military warehouse, national agricultural test station and storage place for opera sets, was handed over to the catering group in 2000 by the municipality of Maastricht.

Maastricht, my hometown: Today a verdict will be

Maastricht, my hometown:

Today a verdict will be given in the fornication and murder case from 1998 concerning the then 11-year-old boy Nicky Verstappen. Suspect Jos Brech hears the judgment today at the court in Maastricht.

The District Court of Limburg is one of eleven courts in the Netherlands. The district covers the entire province of Limburg. The court was created on 1 January 2013 from the merger of the court of Maastricht with the court of Roermond. The board of the court is located in building that was a part of the former Sint Annadal hospital in Maastricht.

Architect Gerard Passchier was responsible for the conversion of the front part of the Annadal complex into a court building. This part was completely 'sawn loose' from the rear part, so it became easier to secure the building..

New sponsor added: My energy company VANDEBRON.

New sponsor added:
My energy company VANDEBRON. Vandebron only offers energy that is genuinely sustainably generated on Dutch soil. We call it good energy! You choose your own wind, bio or solar energy source. This way you know exactly where your energy comes from and where your money is going. My energy at my home, for example, is generated by the solar panel roof of Curfs Logistics in Gronsveld @ets2_curfs_logistics .
That is why I chose to take a few pictures at their company, unfortunately the solar panels are not visible from the street.

You can also go for 100% green energy in the Netherlands from @VANDEBRON and immediately score € 100 for yourself and € 100 for me by using the friend link: https://vandebron.nl/?referrer=2204427.

Making a difference

Cars have always been a way of distinguishing yourself, making the difference through a more powerful engine or a sleek design. Nowadays it is possible to make more and more the difference in terms of sustainability and a sharp design ... also by means of cargo bikes.

Today the first morning this autumn after night frost. Although cold, it is nice to see the beauty of the sparkling effect on my solar panels. Battery at this point on challenging level, but today is gonna be a sunny day. 370km on one battery is not bad in this period in the Netherlands....and still counting. Keep following!

“Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products...”.
In this case, the retracting mechanism from an old vacuum cleaner was reused to neatly roll in the cables when sliding in the solar panels. A broken chainglider was partly used as a cable duct.
