Iam half Dutch, half Ukrainian , because my father was born at Eindhoven (Strijp) and my mam at Morshin (Striy) Ukraine.
IAt my travelogues i added all kinda pictures and info about family, meetings, and other about Eindhoven as well.
Eindhoven got its stadsrecht from Hertog Hendrik I van Brabant in 1232, with about 170 houses and a castle just outside the area.
The city also had 2 small rivers flowing, De Dommel and De Gender. Eindhoven also became the right to have a weekly market.
Eindhoven had its first horsetram in 1888.

Hello, Carin! I see there are many interesting local customs! Thanks for the great number of splendid photos,Carin! You really love your home city!
Cemeteries can be quite interesting, I agree.
Many interesting tips to read in a short time; I'll come back tomorrow
Glad to read more about Eindhoven :)
Carin, I was reminded today of you with another VTers health and trust that you are 'feeling good and returning to normal as best you can. Larry
I have an affinity with Eindhoven having lived there for 3 years in the 1950's with the RAF. I love the place and visit each year for the Liberation & Peace Celebrations every September 18th. I'll be back again this year 2009.
excellent service in here they go out of there way to help the coffee special with ice cream on top was delicious cant wait to go back and see the manager who is a friendly man the food is amazing .
Hello Carin. I very much enjoyed reading your home town page. good information here and interesting stories. Greetings from the desert / Jess :-)
Great Eindhoven page catnl, wish I had checked it out before my brief visit. Good travels.
Coffeshop without alcohol? I was in Eindhoven 2 weeks ago, and the Grasshopper had plenty booze and beer - and sports fans types. My friend was easily able to buy more than 5 grams, he actually bought ten, including the four or so grams he smoked there.
