Drongelen
Drongelen is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located in the municipality of Altena. The village was first mentioned in 1270 as de Drungele, and might mean "open forest near the Drongel river". The church of Drongelen was destroyed by a flood in 1509, and not rebuilt until 1700. In November and December 1944, almost the entire village and the church were destroyed during the fighting between the Allied Forces and the German army. A wooden church was donated by Sweden as a temporary church. In 1951, a new church was rebuilt. The wooden church was moved to Amstelveen where it burnt down in 2000. Drongelen was home to 358 people in 1840. The school closed in 1984 and became the village house. There is a free car ferry between Drongen and Waalwijk.

Bergsche Maas
The Bergse Maas (; pre-1947 spelling: Bergsche Maas) is a canal that was constructed in 1904 to be a branch of the river Maas (French: Meuse) in the Dutch province of North Brabant. The Maas splits near Heusden into the Afgedamde Maas and the Bergse Maas. The Afgedamde Maas flows north until its confluence with the river Waal (the main distributary of the river Rhine) to form the Merwede, while the Bergse Maas continues west as the main distributary of the Maas. Part of the Merwede (the Nieuwe Merwede) rejoins the Bergse Maas to form the Hollands Diep estuary. History Historically, a natural branch of the Maas flowed from Heusden to the Amer and Hollands Diep estuary; this branch silted up and now forms a stream called Oude Maasje. The Bergse Maas, which takes its name from the town of Geertruidenberg, was constructed in its basin to take over its functions, in 1904. The other main distributary of the Maas was at the same time dammed-up and renamed Afgedamde Maas ("Dammed-up M ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Former Municipalities Of North Brabant
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the ad ...
