Hoe heette het Astridplein voor Astrid er was?
Het plein werd in 1904 aangelegd en heette toen Statieplein. In 1935 werd de naam veranderd in Koningin Astridplein, ter ere van de pas overleden koningin Astrid.
🌟 Magnificent Antwerp the Star Port City of Artists 🌟
Really interesting! Just a slight correction: Brabant, not Flanders.
Many thanks for the compliment.
Regarding your remark about Flanders, I presume this refers to the section about the missionary Eloi (St. Eligius), who embarked on a mission trip to Flanders. With this sentence, I do not imply that Antwerp was located in Flanders; it was located in Brabant, as you indicate. In the early Middle Ages, the Scheldt River was the border between Flanders and Brabant. During Eloi's mission trip in the region of Flanders, he traveled as far as the area around Antwerp, which was located right at the border.

There is no proven threshold at which booze is risk-free, according to the WHO. “We cannot talk about a so-called safe level of alcohol use. It doesn’t matter how much you drink-the risk to the drinker’s health starts from the first drop of any alcoholic beverage” Antwerp keeps persecuting cannabis culture, while pushing the hard drug that is alcohol.
I love Antwerp, but have always felt uneasy about those 20th century skyscrapers that stand alongside it. Am I being too fussy? St Paul's cathedral in London used to dominate the city skyline but has long been dwafted by the architectural horrors of the 20th and 21st centuries.
There is only one skyscraper nearby, the "Boerentoren", ... built in 1929, the first skyscraper in Europa. Another monument ...

today, the port of Antwerp , is five times the size of the city
I sailed on a tanker to Antwerp in the early 1970s, going up the Schelde was very tense with an electrical storm raging.
de invasie van de personenautos heeft de stad echt om zeep geholpen
Niet de enigste invasie spijtig genoeg
o wat WAS de groenplaats mooi.
Mooi filmpje van onze, toen nog, gezellige stad Antwerpen. ♥️ 7:23 tot 7:45 zo grappig, mensen en verkeer door elkaar, begrijp niet wat die verkeersagent daar staat te doen 😅maar geen probleem, het leven ging gewoon door 😂 👍
Eén van de knapste (kort) films die ik tot hiertoe heb gezien van onze stad en de Antwerpse haven. Ook het commentaar er bij is zeer goed gedaan 👏😁 ik heb genoten van deze beelden van Antwerpen, toen het nog een mooie, propere en gezellige stad was. 🤩👍 ♥️ (One of the best (short) films I have seen so far of our city and the port of Antwerp. The commentary is also very well done 👏😁 I enjoyed these images of Antwerp, when it was still a beautiful, clean and pleasant city.)
Toen was het zeker nog gezellig, mijn vader heeft bij de VNS gevaren en zijn thuishaven was Rotterdam maar ging bijna iedere reis via Antwerpen naar Rotterdam 😊💯👍🏻
Beer culture and chocolate culture - what a civilised country!
And don't forget Belgium fries. They were french speaking Belgian soldiers, not French soldiers who fried potatoes in oil.
Puaj
Prachtig 😉👍Wou dat ik heel even in dit filmpje kon stappen, en de sfeer van die tijd kon beleven….een paar uurtjes of zo, en dan terug naar het huidige Antwerpen 🙏😅 (alhoewel 😏)
Docked many times with Canadian Pacific (Beavercove) in early 60s
كله من الكاميرات الملعونه ضعيفت التصوير
because they were taken in 1955? What did you expect? Some iPhone?
Zeer goed .
Dankjewel voor the compliment!
The early use of alternative facts.
Great
Ik heb daar nog gedronken.
*Oh what a heartbreaking story!!* 😭
Cheers! 🍺🍺🍺
My Dad sailed on Ellerman Line City Ships in the 1950's as a Cadet up to 1st Officer. So many great stories he had to tell of going all over the world. A wonderful time.
Thanks from Belgium!
Druon Antigoon is the patron saint of all taxmen. Or he should be.
I visited Antwerp last year and was really amazed with the Cathedral. It would have been stunning if the second tower had been completed that's for sure. 🙂
Tank you for your history lesson. I live in Antwerp and I know a lot about the history. But what you told I didn’t know.
Many thanks for the feedback. Good to know that the video was useful.
Zeer interessant, vooral als Antwerpenaar. Ik begrijp wel tamelijk goed Engels, maar soms gaat het wat snel, waarom niet Nederlands ondertiteld als het reeds Engels gesproken is, of eventueel tweetalig? 🤔
Dankjewel voor je commentaar. Er zijn Nederlandstalige ondertitels voorzien. Ga naar "Settings", Subtitles, Dutch. Dan krijg je de originele ondertitels in het Nederlands. Via Auto-translate kan je eerder welke taal kiezen, maar deze zijn automatisch door CZcams vertaald.
Hartelijk dank voor de tip, het filmpje is nu reeds Nederlands ondertiteld, zonder dat ik iets moest doen, probleem opgelost, dankjewel 👍 ik ga het filmpje nogmaals bekijken, want ik vind het best zeer interessant Antwerpen…..lang geleden, ik wandel elke week 2x over de Meir, heb nu extra aandacht voor details 🙏😉
Mijn stad ❤
Bruges is way more beautiful, nicer to shop and people are kind overthere. Antwerp is like Marokko
Met pijn in mijn hart moet ik je gelijk geven. Ik ben Antwerpenaar, ik “was” ooit trots op mijn stad, helaas onze stad enorm achteruit gegaan de laatste (plusminus) 20 jaar….Brugge en Gent zijn (voorlopig) nog steden die hun charme gehouden hebben en (nog) niet verloederd zijn. 👍
@@lydiap6896 trek uw ogen open mensen. Waarom zijn gent en brugge mooier? omdat ze daar meer moeite doen het stadsbeeld en architecturaal erfgoed te behouden en de stad leefbaarder te houden: meer groen en vooral MINDER AUTOS IN DE BINNENSTAD! Ook wijken zouden ze mooier kunnen bouwen. Kijk naar de Nederlanders, die doen dat gewoon.
Dat is wat ik bedoel. Ofwel worden mooie historische gebouwen in Antwerpen afgebroken om er lelijke moderne gedrochten te zetten, en op andere plaatsen laten ze vervuiling en verwaarlozing toe. Merci, o.a. aan onze burgemeester 🤨
Interesting.... but, looking at your own profile, you are African???? You don't lile your neighbours from Maroc? Isn't this racism?
This film is superb I really enjoyed watching
Thanks for checking out the video! It's awesome to hear that you enjoyed it.
Not even close but ok 🙈🤷🏼♂️😅
