41/52 Mauritskade

52 Weeks Project

One week prior to this selfportrait the idea was born to take a few of these selfies along the Singelgracht...
Location: Mauritskade in between the Muiderpoortbrug (in the distance) and Oude Koekjesbrug (Korte 's-Gravensandestraat)
Coordinates: 52°36'19" N 4°91'78" E
Reason: A combination with a test drive with my renovated bicycle and a visit of an installation of Streetart Frankey in the Borgerstraat in West.
Singelgracht: The Singelgracht is the waterway that borders the entire Amsterdam Center and flows along the Nassaukade, Stadhouderskade and Mauritskade. Formerly the canal and the ramparts on the city side formed the outer defenses of the city.
The name is related to the Dutch word omsingelen, "to surround", and comes ultimately from Latin cingulum, meaning "belt". Other Dutch towns also have ring-shaped canals named Singel.
The Singelgracht is the waterway that borders the entire Amsterdam Center and flows along the Nassaukade, Stadhouderskade and Mauritskade.
A sub project of "52-Weeks" is take more selfportraits along the Singelgracht. Find them all here.
Mauristkade: The Mauritskade runs parallel to the Amsterdam Singelgracht between the Amstel and the Zeeburgerdijk in Amsterdam East. The street is part of a series of three quays: the Mauritskade, the Stadhouderskade and the Nassaukade, which form the outer ring along the banks of the Singelgracht after the S100. Its length is 1.7 kilometers.
The Mauritskade was named in 1880 after Maurits van Oranje (1567-1625), Stadtholder of Holland and Zeeland. The quay was previously designated Buitensingel.
The main streets crossed by Mauritskade are: Wibautstraat, 's-Gravesandestraat, Linnaeusstraat, Dapperstraat and Pontanusstraat.
The Royal Tropical Institute is located at the roundabout at the intersection with Linnaeusstraat.
Tram line 9 from 1903-2018 ran between Alexanderplein and Linnaeusstraat and Line 14 was added in 1986. In 1901 the second electric tram line in Amsterdam ran between Linnaeusstraat and Zeeburgerdijk. That was line 6 to the Veelaan. Later other tram lines came here. This was line 10 since 1940. Lines 6 and 7 have also operated here since the 1980s. Since line 10 started running in 2004 via Sarphatistraat to Czaar Peterstraat and the Eastern Docklands, line 14 has taken over this route. Line 9 was replaced by line 19 on July 22, 2018.
The Weesperpoort station used to be located along the Mauritskade. The Beiersch-Bierbrouwerij De Amstel, Amstel's first brewery, stood at Mauritskade 14-19 from the 1970s onwards for almost a hundred years. The brewery quickly became a formidable competitor against which other breweries could barely compete. [ Wikipedia 2020 ]
