Klazienaveen is a town to the southeast of Emmen in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is located approx 5 km from the German border. Klazienaveen started as a peat colony owned by Willem Albert Scholten. It has been named after Klaassien Sluis, the wife of Scholten.In 1874, Willem Albert Scholten bought the 974 hectares Smeulveen to exploit the peat. In 1890, Scholten offered the skipper Jan Adde Hazewinkel a flag as the first person to transport the peat. In 1899, a village appeared along the canal. In 1903, Scholten's son Jan Evert renamed Smeulveen and the village Klazienaveen after his mother Klaassien Sluis. It is one of the two villages in the Netherlands named after a non-royal woman.
