geography

Schoonebeek is located east of Coevorden directly on the German border at Schoonebeker Diep , which forms the border between the Netherlands and Germany here. The neighboring municipality on German territory is Emlichheim .

history

Schoonebeek was first mentioned in a document in 1341 and, along with Ruinerwold, is one of the oldest places in Drenthe. Until the municipality reform in 1998, Schoonebeek was part of the Schoonebeek municipality, which was created in 1884 by a division between Schoonebeek and the former municipality of Dalen.

economy

Deep pump at Schoonebeek

From 1943 to 1996 petroleum was extracted in the municipality . In 1976 there was an oil spill that caused extensive damage. In 2006 it was investigated whether it would make sense to resume oil production, and in 2008 drilling was resumed. Oil has been produced again since 2011 and transported to Lingen in Germany via a 45 km pipeline . There, the further processing takes place in the Emsland oil refinery from BP .
