Place Victorie

The Victorieplein was one of the large traffic squares of the Plan Zuid. If you take a moment back to the 1920s, you might feel the new, modern life around you, with the first cars, omnibuses, bicycles and motorcycles all constantly asking for priority. It may have been exciting then, but perhaps especially stressful now.

On the right you see the Skyscraper, something hip at the time, with beautiful apartments of 125 m2, with handy gadgets such as an elevator, a built-in refrigerator and a garbage chute. Unfortunately, it has stayed with that one. It remains modernity in Dutch. On www.geheugenvanplanzuid.nl you will find a detailed description of the flat and a map with photos of Jos Wiersema.
