Unique discovery on Stratumseind

Unique discovery on Stratumseind

Hundreds of partying people walked past  a catering building on Stratumseind unsuspectingly for years. Understandable, because there is nothing to see from the outside. Yet, inside, a renovation contractor stumbled upon sections of a medieval wall.

The contractor called in construction historian Jan van der Hoeve, who immediately contacted cultural historian Bauke Hüsken, also a member of the Eindhoven heritage organisation Henri van Abbe Foundation. He rushed to the monumental building on Stratumseind ​​to see what makes this wall so special. He soon found out that the small wooden beams in between are very old.

Corbels

These wooden planks, also called corbels, were used in the Middle Ages as support beams for the upper floor. Most houses used to need additional structural support, so the corbels were necessary.

In the past, the building on Stratumseind, with the building next to it, formed one dwelling. The wooden beams were probably on the façade of both houses.

The wall is said to have been built between the years 1300 and 1500. Hüsken suspects around 1350 because of the construction technique used. To date, no traces of this magnitude have been found from that time anywhere else in the city.

Renovation

Earlier there were discussions about whether the old catering building should be demolished because it was no longer safe. After protests in the city, it was decided to renovate the building.

Now that this unique find has been made, it is necessary to look for ways to properly preserve it. The municipality has agreed to place glass plates in front of the wooden beams. In addition, Hüsken wants to place a plaque next to the beams. This should provide clarity and explanation to the people walking by. As soon as there is a suitable plan, the renovation can continue. The building will accomodate a restaurant and a number of homes.

Dancing with a beam of light as your dance partner in The Ballroom

Dancing with a beam of light as your dance partner in The Ballroom

Dancing on the dance floor. This is possible during GLOW on the TU campus. Team Ignite of the TU/Eindhoven created the art project “The Ballroom”. A light installation that follows you around and allows you to dance.

TEAM IGNITE, Tim de Jong and Philip Ross, are looking for the sense of connection between the visitors of GLOW to rekindle that social cohesion of dancing together with their light artwork.

How does that work exactly?
The visitors are detected anonymously by means of infrared imaging. This way, the beam of light chooses its partner at random while the music of the student orchestra Quadrivium is playing. All this happens in real time, without any delay. The art installation can be seen until Saturday during GLOW, at the Metaforum on the TU campus.

An Ode to Van Gogh at Glow

An Ode to Van Gogh at Glow

A special tribute to Vincent van Gogh will be held this year during the GLOW Light Art Festival. The festival will join forces with Van Gogh Brabant and the Van Gogh Museum. 

The Eindhoven light artist, Hugo Vrijdag, created the artwork together with the Qinhuai Lantern Festival in Nanjing, China. It is the second time these two light festivals have collaborated. The work will be placed on Lichtplein. It represents a sea of sunflowers waving in the wind. The sounds of crickets and swallows will be recreated. Also, the sound of the common swift is characteristic of Vrijdag.

The sunflowers used for the work are, in fact, lanterns, made according to Chinese tradition. After the work has been shown at GLOW, it will go to Nanjing Light Festival, which will be held in January. The artwork then returns to the Netherlands for an exhibition in Amsterdam.

3 Uurkes Vurraf event no longer in Hotel Pullman Eindhoven Cocagne

3 Uurkes Vurraf event no longer in Hotel Pullman Eindhoven Cocagne

Carnival celebration always feels like a fresh start for welcoming the warm spring season. 3 Uurkes Vurraf is a carnival event in Brabant that is conducted every year in the Hotel Pullman Cocagne. The hotel has decided that, after 28 years of hosting, it will no longer host the event due to the strict corona measures. Omroep Brabant is looking for a new venue to conduct the 3 Uurkes Vurraf event in February 2022.

‘3 Uurkes’ is an initiative of the regional broadcaster Omroep Brabant and has been regarded as the official kick-off of carnival in Brabant province since 1993. A wide range of artists performs at the event. It is broadcast live on TV and the internet each year, attracting more than a million viewers from all over the country.

Corona measures

Hotel Pullman Cocagne has hosted the event for the past 28 years. Due to the strict corona measures, the hotel has decided not to host the 2022 event. Omroep Brabant reports that the strict requirements in organising an event make it difficult for the hotels to host. “With the many uncertainties in the world and the increasingly strict requirements for events, we have unfortunately decided that the risk of setting up a tent for carnival is too high,” explains Pullman hotel deputy director Jurriaan van der Valk.

Van der Valk says he decided with pain in his heart. “On behalf of the entire Pullman team, we would like to thank all carnival enthusiasts who have ever been to ‘3 Uurkes Vurraf’ for the great atmosphere.”

Radio party

The collaboration with ‘Cocagne’ started when 3 Uurkes Vurraf was still a radio program. In 2007, the event was converted from a radio program to a live television program. More than 1600 enthusiastic carnival revellers used to gather for the event. A large space was required to accommodate such a crowd, so the event was conducted in a huge tent in the car park area of the Pullman hotel.

Omroep Brabant understands the decision of the hotel but finds it very unfortunate. Omroep Brabant will look for a new location so that 3 Uurkes Vurraf 2022 can continue.

Refused asylum, but not forgotten

Refused asylum, but not forgotten

Refugees who have been refused asylum and can not stay in the Netherlands – this is a group of people who are often invisible. The Vluchtelingen in de Knel (Refugees in Difficulty) Foundation organised a dinner especially for that group, and for the residents of Eindhoven. The aim was to get to know each other better.

And it worked. Besides the culinary specialities from all corners of the globe that were shared, there was also room for stories. Like that of Fredon, who tells about his trip to the Netherlands. About how he was packed with others, first in a car and later on a boat. That he thought he was dying when the dinghy in which he made the crossing from Turkey to Greece leaked but they were saved just in time by the police.

The stories are violent, but it is also a relief to be able to tell them. Fredon says: “You have a lot of problems in your heart. But if you tell them to others, you have then quietened them.’

Park Hilaria is in town till Aug 12th

Park Hilaria is in town till Aug 12th

The yearly ‘Park Hilaria’ has started last Friday and is open until Sunday 12th. 90 rides and attractions over a 600 meter stretch are awaiting the public to join them. There are also plenty of foodstalls, terraces and many performances of, mainly Dutch, artists and DJ’s.  The entrance is free and its in the Southern part of the Kennedy laan.

In the previous century Eindhoven knew many local ‘kermisses’, almost every neighborhood had their own kermis. Some bigger then others, but in general they had the appeal of local fairgrounds of smaller towns. Very nice for the locals, but not something to  attract many remote people. However in 2002 the local government decided to group it all together, to have the appeal of a big city fair. Therefore they created Park Hilaria, that combines all fairs together and therefore brings fun for every one, has their own terraces and places to eat. It now takes place for the 17th time.

There are also many artists. They mainly focus on the ‘typical’ Dutch entertainment and songs. Maybe not everybodies taste, but it gives a good idea of the Dutch culture as its still alive with the common people. Also traditional Dutch snacks like poffertjes and typical ‘kermis food’ is present. As the entree is free, and kids always seems to love it, it sure its worth a visit.

Christmas thrift store Woensel raises €72,000 for charity

The sale of vintage Christmas balls to a Peruvian christmas stable made of clay have been a great success for the Christmas thrift store in Woensel. In just over a month, for €72,379,64 has been sold. That money is not put in their own pockets, but – after paying taxes – goes to five charities.

“Nobody had any idea that this edition of Kerstkringloopwinkel would be so successful. With more than 70 volunteers, the store was run to raise money for 5 charities. The visitors did not only come from Eindhoven, but from a large part of our country and also from abroad. Artificial Christmas trees were even taken on the plane to India”, someone from Kerstkringloopwinkel said.

38 Days

The pop-up store in Woensel shopping centre was opened in early November by PSV mascot Phoxy. Kerstkringloopwinkel was open to the public for more than 38 days. During that period, more than 12,000 visitors visited the store and more than 7,100 payments were made. This raised an amount of more than €72,000.

A part of that is forced to go to the tax authorities. The remaining €53,000 will go to the charities Alpe d’HuZes (KWF, Queen Wilhelmina Fund against cancer), Inloop de Eik (walk in the oak) in Tongelre, Wensambulance (wish ambulance), No Guts No Glory and Stichting Fay (Fay foundation).
