Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The history of Caf\u00e9 \u2019t Noorden begins in 1823. At the site of the present building there was then a house with a yard and orchard. On the other side of Koningsweg stood a corn mill<\/a> with its yard but without a dwelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty-four-year-old Jan Hendrik Weenink moved into the house in 1856 and worked at the mill. At his request the building was altered in 1866. Part of the arable land became a \u2018recreation ground\u2019, according to the municipal archive. This marked the beginning of the playground that remains part of \u2019t Noorden today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weenink also started a caf\u00e9 here; in 1870 the municipal register records his occupation as publican. The Weenink family left on 19 September 1876. Thirty-year-old Engelbartus Simmelink from Winterswijk became the new publican and opened Caf\u00e9 Simmelink. After his death in 1888, his widow Johanna Gesiena Simmelink-Nijenhuis took over. After her death in 1895, their daughters Janna Willemina and Janna Aleida Simmelink continued the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘t Noorden van Aalten<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On 16 April 1918 Bernardus Heersink of Winterswijk took over the caf\u00e9. Around this time the business also became known as \u2019t Noorden, referring to the north of Aalten. Jan Bertus Keijzer succeeded Heersink in 1948, followed in 1957 by Abraham Grevink, who died in 1976. His widow S.W. Grevink-Piepers and the Grevink and Prinsen families continued the business. Many weddings and celebrations were held here, while the caf\u00e9, playground and soft ice cream attracted numerous visitors. They ran the business until 1997.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin and Monique H\u00fcning took over in 1997. Under their management the function rooms were expanded and in 2011 the restaurant was converted into a pancake restaurant. They also expanded the catering facilities. The tall slide eventually had to be removed because of decay, new regulations and the risk of collapse, but a small train from Buesink\u2019s Modelspoor Panorama provided new entertainment in the playground. Their son Wesley and daughter-in-law Nita H\u00fcning joined the business in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anno 2025 omschrijft de website van Het Noorden<\/a> zichzelf als grand caf\u00e9 met eet- speel- en biergarden, met als levensmotto: “Vier \u2018t leven!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
