The Armenpad, which connects Hogestraat and Stationsstraat, is one of the typical Aalten G\u00e4ngeskes<\/a> (alleys). The name recalls the Roman Catholic almshouse that once stood here. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This almshouse consisted of eight rooms, each measuring 4 by 4 meters, and was located on the grounds of Dr. Hartman<\/a>. The residents received support from the Roman Catholic Church, which provided them with clothing and food. Additionally, they had a small garden where they could, for example, keep a goat. The almshouse came to an end in 1937, when the Hartman family decided to no longer allow the residents to live on their land.1<\/a><\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 1912, the eight dwellings were reconfigured into four dwellings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides the Catholic almshouse, Aalten formerly also had a Reformed almshouse<\/a> on what is now Haartsestraat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overview below contains a link to the corresponding family card in the population register for each period and room\/household from 1860 to 1910.5<\/a><\/sup> 6<\/a><\/sup> What we noticed: it appears that residents occasionally changed rooms; the residents were mostly single women (widows); and many had Bocholt as their place of birth. Our research is still ongoing, errors excepted! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
