Description

Dutch/ English

Ooit was de Hollandse Biesbosch een gebied van slikvelden met riet en wilgen overgeleverd aan de getijdestromen van eb en vloed. Aan de grillen van storm en springtij. Begin 1900 wordt het gebied ingepolderd ten behoeve van de landbouw. Hoe dit is gebeurd is een te lang verhaal om hier te vertellen. Maar fraai is het niet. De tijden waren anders maar zelfs voor die tijd was het voor de werklieden asociaal en gemeen. Dit wordt ook niet ontkent. Ongeschikte en ongeschoolde werklozen moeten op straffe van het intrekken van hun uitkering, slechts gewapend met een schop, de grond aldaar in cultuur brengen. Velen waren niet eens opgewassen tegen dit extreem zware werk. Het levert Dordrecht wel landbouwgrond op. Door zijn politieke functie is de heer Theodoor Stoop, door de crisistijd tegen de jaren 30, medeverantwoordelijk voor het project. Hij, een rustige en beminnelijke huisarts en chirurg, heeft buiten dit project heel veel goeds gedaan voor de burgerij in Dordrecht. De Heer Th. Stoop krijgt in de Biesbosch een monument. De Stoopbank. Een rustplaats met bankjes, ommuurd met baksteentjes, op een terp. Dit is de plek (op de foto, nu de Noorderelsweg) waar nu nog steeds de Stoopbank staat. De Stoopbank is opgeleverd in 1930. Hoewel ik niet de jongste meer ben is deze foto dus niet van mij maar ter ondersteuning van de beeldvorming.

Once upon a time, the Dutch Biesbosch was an area of ​​swamp fields with reeds and willows narrated to the tidal currents of ebb and flood. On the vagaries of storm and flooding. Early last century, the area is being deployed for agriculture. How this has happened is a too long story to tell. But it's not nice. The times were different, but even before that time it was asocratic and mean for the workmen. This is not denied by the council. Unsuitable and unskilled unemployed people must, in the event of a penalty, withdraw their benefits, only armed with a shovel, cultivate the land there. Many were not able to do this extremely hard work. They produced a lot of farmland for the city Dordrecht. Because of his political function, Mr. Theodoor Stoop is partly responsible for the project caused by the crisis of the 30's. He, a quiet and in general a comfortable practitioner and surgeon, has done a lot of good work for the citizens in Dordrecht. Mr. Th. Stoop got a monument in the Biesbosch. The Stoop-bank (-couch) it is called. A resting place with benches, walled with bricks, on a terp. This is the place (in the picture, now the Noorderelsweg) where the Stoopbank still is. The Stoopbank was delivered in 1930. Although I'm not the youngest anymore, this picture is certainly not mine but in support of imaging the area.
