Belgenmonument Ede, World War I memorial in Ede, Netherlands
The Belgenmonument features a stone monument positioned at the intersection of two former main streets of a wartime refugee camp.
Between 1915 and 1918, approximately 5,300 Belgian refugees found shelter in the Ede camp during World War I, establishing a self-sustaining community.
The memorial inscription in Dutch reflects on the past through a wandering stone, marking the location where Belgian refugees created their temporary home.
Located near the intersection of Hessenweg and Verlengde Arnhemseweg, visitors can find the monument using GPS coordinates 52°02'25.5"N, 5°43'21.8"E.
The refugee camp contained three residential sectors named Leyedorp, Maasdorp, and Scheldedorp, complete with its own power station for electricity.
