Koppelstraat is a street in Bredevoort\u2019s historic centre. It begins as a side street off Landstraat<\/a> and continues all the way to Winterswijksestraat, where the Schaarsbeek flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koppelstraat once ended near the site now occupied by St George\u2019s Church<\/a>, against the town wall. A large round defensive work stood near the present church entrance. Here the street branched into \u201cAchterstraat\u201d (today\u2019s Kerkstraat<\/a>), Officierstraat<\/a> and ‘t Walletje<\/a>. After Bredevoort\u2019s fortifications<\/a> were dismantled, Koppelstraat was extended. The section between St George\u2019s Church and Tolhuisweg was formerly called Koppeldijk. It is tempting to think that the street\u2019s outward \u201cconnection\u201d explains the name, but this is not the case. The name derives from the field name De Koppele, a common grazing ground in the Zwanenbroek. The Koppelkerk<\/a> is named after it as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koppelstraat was formerly known as Geweldigerstraat. It was named after Jan Boussemans, who lived on the street in the early 17th century and served as a military provost (geweldiger<\/em>). The name Geweldigerstraat first appears in deeds dated 27 August 1660. On that date, Anneken Adams, wife of Coort Berentjes, a corporal in Captain Ploos\u2019s company, sold one-third of their house on Geweldigerstraat to Claes Stick and Marie Schaers. Before 1660, the street was known as the \u201cOude Gracht\u201d or Olde Grafte<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
