Leidsestraat, city of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. by Alex de Haas

[nickyferng]

amsterdam, netherlands

you know when you get to a new place, one that you've google mapped thoroughly and where you've managed to convince yourself that you can walk everywhere? "25 mins from the hotel to restaurant? not bad! i'll just sightsee on the way!" well after day 2, and some very sore legs, i gave up on the that idea. i surprised myself by figuring out the local transit system - even if it was mostly borne out of necessity. old cities have my heart because of all the rich history encased within the walls of gorgeous old buildings, uneven cobblestones that many have walked on, and the otherworldly charm in the air that you can't quite put your finger on.

i can have a slightly addictive personality when it comes to collecting, so you can imagine how things unfolded when i discovered this series called amsterdam streets (https://www.amsterdamstreets.nl/en). cute miniature handmade and handpainted houses based on actual buildings in amsterdam that you can line up next to each other? i need all of them. if you put a bunch side by side, you've got a street. if you collect enough, you could have the whole city! cue rabid trekking to at least 8 different souvenir shops in search of these.

STAY

citizen m south pr. irenestraat 30, 1077 WX amsterdam, netherlands a favorite hotel chain of mine at this point. it's weird, fun, and perfect for one person. this particular location was right off the station zuid stop, super convenient.

DO

rijksmuseum museumstraat 1, 1071 XX amsterdam, netherlands so much beautiful art housed in one place. full of vermeers and rembrandts. not to mention the architecture - i was oohing and ahhing every corner i turned.

canal tour after sorting through what seemed like hundreds of listings on viator, i booked an evening excursion with flagship amsterdam that began in daylight and ended with the street lights turning on at dusk. what better way to get the lay of the land than hopping on a boat tour? they all started to look the same after the third canal we went through. i couldn't tell east from west. but it was certainly relaxing and beautiful, and we got an hour long lesson with jokes intertwined.

EAT

Rebecca van Gelder, Rebecca 'Bobette' van Gelder (1891-1945) pintora holandesa.

Nació en la Geldersekade de Ámsterdam, hija mayor de Meijer David van Gelder y Johanna Grewel. Por consejo del pintor Philip Zilcken, abandonó sus estudios en la Academia de Bellas Artes de La Haya.

Se fue al extranjero y estudió en Berlín, Londres y París. De 1924 a 1928 vivió con sus padres en Bussum, donde se registró como "escritora de periódicos", luego regresó a Ámsterdam.

Dibujó y pintó, entre otras cosas, estudios de figuras, paisajes y dibujos de moda en acuarela y óleo, pero también representaciones caricaturescas de la sociedad.

No está claro de dónde sacó el seudónimo pero utilizaba regularmente el nombre de niño Bob, como nombre de artista para evitar ser etiquetada de antemano como artista femenina.

Usó el nombre, entre otras cosas, como ilustradora de la revista Nova; Ellerman's Nieuw Magazine (1927, 1929) y cuando expuso en la primavera de 1929 en De moderne kunsthandel en Ámsterdam.

En 1934 participó en una exposición de pintoras judías con Berthe Edersheim, Fré Cohen, Marianne Franken, Emma Hoffman y otras.

Se unió a The Independents, con el que participó en una exposición jubilar en 1932 (como "Bobette Stratthon-van Gelder"). También participó en dos exposiciones antifascistas: los Dos Mundos (1934) en Róterdam y la Olimpiada sobre el dictador (D.O.O.D.) en De Geelvinck en Ámsterdam (1936). El motivo de esta última fue que los Juegos Olímpicos de ese año se celebraron en la Alemania nazi. En el D.O.O.D. se expuso el grabado de Van Gelder Oda a la guerra.

En enero de 1941, expuso con Arnold Davids, Ferdinand Erfmann, Dirk Filarski, Ger Langeweg, Elie Neuburger, Willem Rädecker y Annie de Roos en la galería Hungaria en el Leidsestraat en Ámsterdam.

El crítico del Algemeen Handelsblad escribió sobre ella: "Pocos artistas holandeses componen con tanta libertad y facilidad como Bob Stratthon-Van Gelder. Ella es un talento ilustrativo, dotado de pureza y cualidades pictóricas.

En abril de 1941, Van Gelder participó en una exposición de De Independents en el Stedelijk Museum de Ámsterdam. Un mes después, el Reichskommissariat Niederlande decidió que todos los judíos debían desaparecer de los Países Bajos.

Entraron en vigor medidas restrictivas, prohibiendo, entre otras cosas, a los judíos ser miembros de asociaciones de personas y fundaciones sin una finalidad económica.

En De Telegraaf del 30 de diciembre de 1942, Van Gelder presentó otra apelación bajo el Nombre Stratthon para las revistas Voque, tu belleza. Fémina, Esquire y la vida parisina.

Probablemente se escondió más tarde. Ella fue arrestada y enviada como 'caso criminal' al campo de concentración de Westerbork, donde acabó en el cuartel penal 67 en junio de 1944.

Van Gelder fue deportada en el último transporte de Westerbork a Bergen-Belsen en 13 de septiembre de 1944. Murió meses después, a la edad de 53 años.

Después de la guerra, fue homenajeada en las exposiciones conmemorativas 'Arte en la armadura' (1945) en el Stedelijk Museum de Ámsterdam y 'Rebelde, mi corazón' (1995) en la Nieuwe Kerk de Ámsterdam. Su obra también se mostró en las exposiciones Magia y negocios, pintura realista en los Países Bajos 1925-1945 en Arnhem (1999) y Arte asesinado en el Noord-Veluws Museum y el Museum Sjoel Elburg (2020).

Nieuwe verkeerslichten op het kruispunt Pleinweg - Wolphaertsbocht, 12 december 1956.

Uit het Vrije Volk van 12 december 1956:

Het zeer drukke en gevaarlijke kruispunt Pleinweg-Wolphaertsbocht zal binnenkort, misschien nog dit jaar, door middel van een hypermodern systeem van verkeerslichten worden beveiligd. Er komen automatische, elektronisch bestuurde lichten, ook op de plaatsen waar de voetgangers oversteken.

Voor deze weggebruikers zijn vierkante lichten geïnstalleerd, die groen of rood licht uitstralen. In het licht zal men het silhouet van een mannetje kunnen zien. Tegen de tijd, dat het voetgangerslicht van groen op rood zal overspringen, wordt een groen flikkerlicht ter waarschuwing geproduceerd.

Deze automatische verkeerslichten, de eerste in Rotterdam, krijgen een proeftijd toegemeten. Men laat de oude lichten en het bedieningshuisje nog even staan om in geval van storing op de huidige toestand te kunnen terugvallen. Houden de nieuwe lichten zich goed, dan is uitbreiding van dit systeem lang niet ondenkbaar.

Dit nieuws maakte hoofdinspecteur K. J. Muller, chef van de Rotterdamse Verkeerspolitie, gisteravond bekend tijdens een lezing op een openbare vergadering van de wijkraad voor Nieuw-Charlois in de goed bezette grote zaal van het Carnissehuis.

De heer Muller sprak over het verkeer op de Pleinweg, dat vele problemen veroorzaakt, vooral voor overstekende voetgangers. Zolang deze categorie nog geen wettelijke beschermde rechten heeft, blijft de situatie moeilijk. Voor later denkt men o.m. aan verkeerslichten, die door de voetgangers zelf bediend kunnen worden, Zij drukken dan een knop in en wachten tot het licht op groen springt. Eerst zal men echter de tunneltraverse met lichten moeten beveiligen.

In dit verband overweegt men een systeem van aan elkaar gekoppelde, automatische verkeerslichten, zoals men die bijvoorbeeld in de Leidsestraat in Amsterdam kent. In dit systeem zullen dan de „drukknoplichten" voor de voetgangers moeten passen, om het snelverkeer geen overbodige hinderpalen in de weg te leggen. Dit zijn echter nog maar overwegingen. Eerst moet men de resultaten kunnen beoordelen van de proef op het kruispunt Pleinweg-Wolphaertsbocht. Voor 't afbuigende verkeer (van Wolphaertsbocht naar Pleinweg bv.) heeft men een speciaal vak met een speciaal licht ontworpen, waardoor het mogelijk wordt deze stroom (voorlopig alleen in de spitsuren) iets langer vast te houden. De voetgangers kunnen dan niet in de flank worden gereden. Zebra-oversteekplaatsen met orangeknipperbollen komen er ook.

„Wij trachten er een redelijk beveiligd kruispunt van te maken," zei de heer Muller. „Honderd procent veiligheid kunnen wij echter niet garanderen."

De tunneltraverse, die twintig jaar geleden werd ontworpen, is nog altijd een weg met vele kwaliteiten. De moeilijkheden worden voornamelijk veroorzaakt op de grote kruispunten. Per dag verwerkt de Maastunnel momenteel 56.000 voertuigen. Weinig wegen in West-Europa kunnen op een dergelijk indrukwekkend getal bogen. Invoering van de maximumsnelheid zal de capaciteit nog doen toenemen.

De voetgangerslichten staan al klaar op het kruispunt Pleinweg- Wolphaertsbocht, maar ze werken nog niet

In a year's time, company canteens, events and the catering industry will be obliged to reuse cups and trays after cleaning. There is plenty of experimentation ongoing with deposits, washable plastic and edible chips bags.

Install an app for a sustainable cup at the coffee corner; that was going too far for some students of the University of Amsterdam (UvA). The app would register the reusable cup and issue a fine if it was not returned within five weeks. “We had not expected this among this target group, but they sometimes found it too much of a hassle and were still a bit suspicious about privacy,” says Joep de Hoog, Facility Services project manager at the UvA and the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences.

The campuses are testing alternative packaging systems for food and drinks this year. This fits in with their sustainability vision, but also with legislation that will be introduced in a year's time. From 1 January 2024, on-site consumption in catering, at festivals and in canteens may no longer be served in single-use plastic, intended to be thrown away after one use.

How will companies organise this? The vanguard is already experimenting. At the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, students in another pilot received a 2 euro deposit refund if they threw their reusable cups in a return bin. De Hoog: "The return percentage was 80. But that was at a somewhat more expensive barista bar, where mainly employees get coffee."

No longer designed for dish washing

For a properly functioning system, there should be a return bin on every floor of every building. These will probably have to be emptied by another company to wash the cups elsewhere. Because there is no room for that on the expensive square meters of the urban campuses themselves.

“It's been a long time since you got a porcelain plate in the student canteen,” says De Hoog. “In recent years, everything has become so disposable or portable that institutions are no longer equipped for dish washing. Even the space for return bins is limited, so we are going to encourage people to bring their own cup and wash it at home.”

The banning of single-use plastics started some time ago in the Netherlands, encouraged by the EU's Single-Use Plastic Directive[1]. If all goes well, you will no longer get plastic straws, stirrers or cutlery anywhere in the Netherlands and you will have to pay for a plastic bag in the supermarket. In the coming years, the government will also largely ban plastic-coated and bioplastic cups in the hospitality industry.

Deposit refund via an app

Tableware may be made of plastic, but must be used again after dish washing. And thus: reusable plastic, not to be confused with recyclable. This not only saves a lot of waste, but also the raw materials and energy needed to make new cups and trays again and again.

International chains are also preparing for a future with less disposable plastic. For example, last year Burger King tested reusable cups and burger trays in the United Kingdom. Customers received the deposit refunded to their account at a collection point via an app.[2]

Fast food chains in the Netherlands must also accept the new rules. Ferry Stevens, quality manager at Febo[3], isn't too worried about that. In his Amsterdam office he puts a white cone on the table. The paper is stiff and slightly transparent. “This is eating paper[4],” Stevens says triumphantly. “You recognise it from under coconut cakes.”

Febo is occupied testing it, because such edible packaging would save a lot of litter. “Since 2015 we have been looking at how we can keep the city centre of Amsterdam cleaner. If this bag ends up on the street, it will be dissolved after two rain showers.” But the old cone bag is not yet suitable for real use. “Fries fit in perfectly,” says Stevens. “But you shouldn't add sauce. And you shouldn't have wet hands either.”

Febo is improving and is therefore still testing the cones. And also other systems. It probably won't be porcelain, too risky. “The government would like that. But have you ever been to Febo in Leidsestraat at twelve o'clock at night?”

Drink should not taste like cardboard

As far as the new rules are concerned it is not even the food packaging that is the problem. Fries have been in a cardboard box for some time, with a soluble barrier varnish, so that you don't get stains on your clothes when you put the box on your lap. Such a soluble lacquer, unlike a non-soluble plastic coating, is more difficult in a drinking cup. “You have to be able to put hot and cold drinks in it. And your drink should not taste like cardboard.”

Febo is going to introduce reusable cups 'made of plastic or cane sugar', says Stevens. We are still looking for the best system, because Febos also have little space for a dish washer. Even temporary storage of dirty dishes is difficult, says Stevens. "Won't that attract fruit flies or other pests?"

Stevens is therefore thinking of a collection service, perhaps jointly for more companies than only Febo. "We're not the only ones in town selling fries." Roughly every six weeks, he discusses the various options with his colleagues via the Consultation Platform for Restaurant Chains Foundation (Stor)[5]. “It's about the hygiene code in our sector, but also about things like this. With parties like McDonald's and La Place, ”says Stevens.

Still disposable plastic

The new law is less strict for to-go products[6]. Consumptions to take with you are still allowed in a disposable packaging. Customers must pay extra for this and they must be offered an alternative, such as filling a cup they brought themselves. Disposable plastic will soon also be allowed if sellers collect 75 percent of the packaging cleanly and have it recycled as a mono stream into new cups or trays. But that is technically not yet an option with coated cups.

“That is possible with circular PET,” says Stijn Bartelink, program manager at packaging producer Paardekooper[7]. The company started a circular branch last year, shortly after the fourth generation of Paardekooper took over. The department is working on various recyclable and especially reusable tableware systems.

International holiday parks and petrol stations are also interested in reusable tableware. Bartelink: “But they don't want that in the news yet. Unless they already have a smashingly successful model for it.” That is not yet the case, because it requires a lot of testing.

So the question remains in what recipient your canteen coffee or festival beer will be served next year. Bartelink hopes that standards for reuse will be developed by the government. “Hopefully it will not end up in a Wild West scenario, with twenty different systems that don't connect to each other.”

Reusable becomes the norm

In 2024, plastic disposable cups and meal packaging will in principle not be allowed if you eat or drink on site in a catering establishment, at a festival or at the office. Reusable plates and cups are then the norm to prevent environmental pollution and plastic soup. Dutch State Secretary of Environment Vivianne Heijnen declares: “Every day in the Netherlands alone, we throw away 19 million plastic cups and food packaging, after single use. We should not continue to burden future generations with this.”

Only when it is really, really necessary can companies choose to continue using certain plastic cups and packaging, provided they collect at least 75 percent of these for high-quality recycling. For consumption on the road and takeaway, as of 1 July 2023, an amount has to be paid for plastic disposable cups and meal packaging, on top of the price for the coffee or meal.

Founded in 1941 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, FEBO is most notable for this automatic format: a counter is available for purchasing French fries, beverages, and hamburgers. Other FEBO snacks can be bought from the automats. The primary automat-vended items are krokets, frikandellen, hamburgers, Kaassoufflés and similar items.

[4] Wafer, also called eating paper or candy paper, is a thin, white, unleavened baking of rice starch or potato starch. This is used as a base for various types of biscuits, for example coconut macaroons, but also for nougat. In the past it was also often used on currant bread. It is also still used as a label for bread. Wafer paper can also be printed with logos or photos using special equipment. Can be used to decorate banquets.
