The name Admiraal de Ruyterstraat was officially adopted by the Aalten municipal council in 1933<\/a>, “running from Koembrug in a south-westerly direction to the edge of the built-up area by the railway crossing.<\/em>” The street is named after Admiral Michiel de Ruyter<\/a> (1607\u20131676), one of the best-known naval heroes in Dutch history.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On an older map published by the local tourist association, this street is still shown as ‘Sondernweg’. Until the construction of Nijverheidsweg<\/a> in the mid-1970s, Admiraal de Ruyterstraat continued seamlessly across the railway crossing into what is still known today as Sondernweg. This can be seen clearly on Topotijdreis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes to house numbering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As in many other streets in Aalten, house numbering on Admiraal de Ruyterstraat changed in part between 1934 and 1967 as more homes were built between existing houses. We do not have a ready-made overview of these changes, but we have attempted to compile one ourselves. It appears to concern only the odd-numbered houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The excerpt below from the 1934 Aalten municipal address directory lists all residents at the time (click to enlarge):<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

The adjacent table shows the result of our research so far. Some addresses changed again after 1967. For example, Admiraal de Ruyterstraat 107 later became Trompstraat 93<\/a>. Some houses have probably since been demolished and replaced by several new homes with new house numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is quite a puzzle, soerrors and omissions excepted!<\/strong> Can you add to or correct this list? Please let us know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
