Helenaveen

Description

Helenaveen è un villaggio nella zona di torba del Peel, situato nel sud-est del comune di Deurne, nella provincia olandese del Noord-Brabant.

Helenaveen fu fondato nel 1853 dal sorvegliante delle opere pubbliche di 's-Hertogenbosch Jan van de Griendt, la cui moglie si chiamava Helena Panis. Insieme a suo fratello Nicolaas van de Griendt e G.W.J. Carp di Arnhem, acquistò 610 ettari di terreno torboso, che qui era spesso 3-7 metri. La Società Helenaveen fece scavare un canale privato, il Helenavaart. La torba nera estratta qui poteva essere trasportata lungo di essa verso la Noordervaart. In seguito, venne anche prodotto lettiera di torba e la concessione fu ampliata. Si trovava a Helenaveen persino una fabbrica galleggiante di lettiera di torba. La lettiera di torba veniva esportata in tutta Europa e serviva come sostituto della paglia nelle scuderie per cavalli di Londra e Parigi per l’esercito e i tram.
