history

The Kinkerbuurt district was laid out in early 1900 and modernized in the 1970s, old houses were demolished and new buildings were built. The quarter is bordered by the Bilderdijkkade, Kinkerstraat, Tweede Kostverlorenkade and Jacob van Lennep -Kade. The Nicolaas Beets- Plantsoen square is an “oasis” in the busy and densely populated district . With around 230 shops, the Kinkerbuurt has a wide range of products for residents and a daily market: Ten Katemarkt. In 1912 the first official daily market ( dagmarkt ) came in Ten Katestraat. The multicultural market is open Monday to Saturday. Where the Ten Katestraat is now, was once the city limits of Amsterdam .

The other side was bounded by the municipality of Nieuwe Amstel (today: Amstelveen ). In 1896 the western area came from Ten Katestraat to the municipality of Amsterdam.

A primary school, a public library and an old people's home are located in the district. The main artery and largest shopping street is the Kinkerstraat, named after the Dutch poet and philosopher Johannes Kinker (1764-1845). The Kinkerbuurt can be reached from Amsterdam Central Station by trams ( Tramlijn ) No. 7 and 17.
