De ophaalbrug

Description

De ophaalbrug / The Brooklyn Bridge
Al in de middeleeuwen lag hier een brug over de Vecht. Ridderhofstad Gunterstein, naast u, lag niet voor niets op deze strategische plek! Op het bruine bord aan de overkant van de straat leest u alles over de boeiende geschiedenis van deze buitenplaats.

Omdat in de 17de eeuw Nederlanders naar Amerika reisden en daar o.a. Brooklyn (Breukelen), New Amsterdam (New York) en Harlem (Haarlem) stichtten, komen veel Amerikanen naar deze brug kijken, de Nederlandse 'Brooklyn Bridge'!
De huidige ophaalbrug in passende historische stijl dateert uit 2022.

This is the Dutch 'Brooklyn Bridge'! In the 17th century Duch immigrants founded new settlements in America that they named after their place of origin: New Amsterdam (now: New York), Haarlem (Harlem), Vlissingen (Flushing) and Breukelen (Brooklyn). After Worldwar II inhabitants of Brooklyn supplied essential goods for the inhabitants of Breukelen in the project 'Brooklyn supports Breukelen, Holland'. Initiator was Miss Marguerite Salomon, who initiated overseas contacts since 1927 and even came over in 1948 to carry out her personal 'Marshall-help'.
