Location and economy

Spijkenisse is a suburb of Rotterdam . The city is about 12 km southwest of downtown Rotterdam, on several land and waterways (including the Hartel Canal, the Spui River and the Oude Maas ). Spijkenisse does not have a train station, but the center and central station of Rotterdam can be reached by metro in 25 to 30 minutes. It is a little more difficult for motorists, as the mainland can only be reached from the island via two bridges, which become a bottleneck during rush hour.

There are many companies in Spijkenisse which are mainly active in trading, repairs and other services. The service sector is the main economic power of the municipality.

The city has u. a. a hospital and a theater as well as several schools and churches.

history

The area of ​​Spijkenisse was founded around 2200 BC. First settled by hunters of the Neolithic Age. The Romans also left traces of their presence. A Roman tomb was excavated in the city park. In the Middle Ages , the village of Spijkenisse was built around a dike and a church. It remained a small village until 1900, the inhabitants of which made wooden rings for barrels. In 1958 the town , which at that time had 3,000 souls, was designated by the government as a "growing community" and Spijkenisse quickly grew into a suburb of Rotterdam. Since January 1, 2015, Spijkenisse has belonged to the municipality of Nissewaard.
