MAATSCHAPPIJ VAN WELDADIGHEID<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

You will find Museum De Proefkolonie in Frederiksoord, the first \u2018trial colony\u2019 of the Maatschappij van Weldadigheid<\/a> founded by Johannes van den Bosch. Around two hundred years ago, this General was a Member of Parliament, Minister of State and King Willem I\u2019s confidant. This visionary idealist believed in the makeable society and had an ambitious plan to end the impoverishment in the cities after Napoleon\u2019s departure from our country. The core of his solution consisted of offering accommodation, work, education and care within newly established agricultural colonies in Drenthe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are you wondering whether you have any ancestors in the colonies? Then take a look at allekolonisten.nl<\/a><\/p>\n

A hundred years ahead of national developments<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

A total of 52 houses were ready in Frederiksoord for the first needy families from Holland in no time at all. They travelled to Blokzijl by sailing boat and then continued on to Drenthe either on an ox cart or on foot. More subsequently followed in the Wilhelminaoord, Willemsoord and Boschoord areas, as well as Wortel in Belgium. There were, for example, schools, a soup kitchen, a spinning mill. Education and health insurance membership were compulsory, which actually meant the colonies were some hundred years ahead of the national developments. And what happened to those who didn\u2019t abide by the rules? They would be \u2018banished\u2019 to the forced colonies in Veenhuizen, Ommerschans or Merksplas in Belgium.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And that\u2019s how approximately 80,000 people were moved to the Drenthe countryside during the 1818-1921 period, now with an estimated one million descendants.[\/vc_column_text][\/qode_elements_holder_item][qode_elements_holder_item cover=”yes” advanced_animations=”no” background_image=”691″][\/qode_elements_holder_item][\/qode_elements_holder][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column][qode_elements_holder number_of_columns=”two_columns”][qode_elements_holder_item advanced_animations=”no” background_image=”659″][\/qode_elements_holder_item][qode_elements_holder_item advanced_animations=”no” item_padding=”40px 0px 50px 20px” background_color=”rgba(237,109,5,0.1)”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
