  • Amsterdam - the official capital of the Netherlands since 1983, but not the seat of the Government, is a port city and is home to 780,000 inhabitants in Amsterdam, 1 million in Groot-Amsterdam and 2,3 million in Greater Amsterdam.. <9> <9> <994/1108391> <994/1108393> <994/1108395> <994/1108396> <994/1108397> <994/1108384> <9> <9> The port city of Amsterdam is located in North Holland on the The mouth of Amstel and Ij in the IJsselmeer and is connected by the Noordzeekanal with the sea.. Characteristic feature are numerous ´canals´, waterways that run through the city and that are both a major tourist attraction, as well as habitat of many inhabitants who live on the canals.. <9> In general, tourism is one of the biggest sources of revenue in the city in addition to real estate taxes.. Every year, millions of visitors visit hotels, bars, restaurants, coffee shops, cultural institutions and the red light district of De Wallen.. <9> Rembrandtplein is home to theaters, cinemas, restaurants and restaurants, Leidseplein nightclubs and Holland Casino for gamblers.. <9> <9> <994/1398320> <994/1430502> <994/1402410> <994/1402433> <994/1430159> <994/1430161> <9> <9> History <9> <9> * The land on which Amsterdam is today was until the 12th century.. uninhabitable swamp and wetland, since the Zuiderze then reached to the sea.. <9> * in the 13th century. A dam was built with a lock in the Amstel, which on the one hand gave the city its name, on the other hand provided for drainage and utilization of the country.. Furthermore, the dam protected from storm surges and connected the settlements on both sides, which are still referred to today as Oude Zijde and Nieuwe Zijde.. The first houses in the still swampy land stood on stilts. In the Middle Ages, instead of the old dam, a square was created that today is the center of the city and is called Dam.. <13> * 1369 Amsterdam becomes a member of the Hanseatic League, which is slowly ousting fishing by trade.. <9> * 1580 Amsterdam starts with own East India drivers (Grossegler) <9> * 1602 Origin of the VOC (Vereenigte Oost-Indische Compagnie) at the end of the 17th century.. Making Amsterdam the richest city in Europe, thanks to its trade in spices, silks and other rarities from the Pacific and India.. <9> * 1609 Founding of the first Baptist church by John Smyth and Thomas Helwys and thus the emergence of the largest Protestant parish <9> * 1672 War with France and England, from which France emerged victor in 1679, which marked the demise of Amsterdam from the sea City initiated.. <9> But the people of Amsterdam were in the business they lost their supremacy, but they created a new field of activity in the money market.. Amsterdam became a financial world center and lent expensive money to warring European princes.. <9> * June 23, 1806 Louis Bonaparte becomes King of Holland and appoints Amsterdam as his capital <9> * 1876 After bad economic years Amsterdam experiences a new lease of life through the construction and opening of the North Sea Canal, which connects to the North Sea and with the United Kingdom and the United States.. <9> * over time but especially after World War II, Amsterdam is overtaken economically by Rotterdam.. <9> * Since 1976, the city has been considered the center of European drug tourism, as hashish is freely available.. This especially in the so-called coffee shops of which there are 230 in Amsterdam alone.. <9> Many foreigners chose Amsterdam as their new home, mainly because of the city´s liberalism.. <9> * 1998 the police are allowed to carry out identity checks, as the possession and use of illegal weapons became prevalent <9> * 2005 identification is required; persons over the age of 14 must carry ID cards <9> <9> <1001> <9> <9> Attractions <9> <9> Amsterdam is rich in partially centuries-old buildings in the city center.. 7,000 merchants and warehouses, 1,280 old bridges tell of a turbulent trading history.. Most of the merchants´ houses are located on the 166 canals, as these were ideal transport routes.. <9> The largest Old Town in Europe is to be included as a World Heritage Site.. <9> <9> <151> Why are the houses on the canals so narrow and crooked? <152> <9> <9> As mentioned earlier, merchants mostly built along the canals to use the transport of these waterways.. It was customary to set the taxes for these houses according to their breadth, which they took on the canal.. So it is understandable that narrow, but long and high was built to still get the required space.. Logically, in such ´towels´ was no room for sweeping staircases, which is why the goods and bulky goods via pulley on the slightly forward sloping facade promoted and then pulled through large windows into the house interior.. <9> <9> The second reason why many buildings in Amsterdam seem a bit askew is that the entire city is built on approximately 5 million wooden posts due to static conditions, which gradually rot and cause the houses to sink into the ground which, of course, does not always happen in the water level.. <9> Today, concrete piles are being built to extend durability.. <9> So stands z..

  • Amsterdam is the most populous city of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.. It currently has about 840 thousand inhabitants and Groot Amsterdam about 1.3 million.. Although the seat of government of the country and the royal residence in Den Haag 60 kilometers away, Amsterdam has been the capital of the Netherlands since 1983 according to Dutch constitution.. <9> The settlement is first mentioned in 1275 as ´Amstelledamme´.. The first church to be built in the second half of the 13th century was the Oude Kerk.. From 1408 followed the larger Nieuwe Kerk.. In 1317, Amsterdam was also granted city rights, as they had previously received Dordrecht, Haarlem, Delft and Leiden.. Under the Counts of Avesnes and their successors, the Wittelsbachers of the line Bayern-Straubing, Holland experienced a period of prosperity, which was ended with the invasion of the Burgundian power - in 1433 Holland fell to Philip the Good, who ruled it from Brussels.. <9> In 1477, the Burgundian heritage - Holland with neighboring countries - fell to the Habsburgs.. The Reformation in the 16th century led to the spread of Calvinism.. Many other faiths were also spread in Amsterdam, including Jews, Baptists, Anabaptists, and others.. <9> The 17th century is called the ´Golden Age´.. Around 1602 the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC) was founded.. More than half of the total capital was held by residents of Amsterdam, of which two fifth were small investors (craftsmen) and 84 major investors.. <9> Around 1621, the Dutch West India Company was founded, which in 1626 founded the city Nieuw Amsterdam, which is called New York since 1667.. <9> The Netherlands became the major economic power of the mid-17th century and Amsterdam the most important European trading center and the most prosperous city on the continent.. <9> <9> Amsterdam has many attractions..
