Wageningen, University town in Gelderland, Netherlands
The municipality spans across lowland areas at 9 meters above sea level, featuring residential districts, academic facilities, and commercial zones along the Nederrijn River.
The settlement received city rights in 1263, leading to the construction of defensive walls, a moat system, and a substantial castle in 1526.
Wageningen University specializes in life sciences research, drawing students and academics from 150 countries to study agricultural and environmental sciences.
The municipal administrative center at Markt 22 provides services for residents, while regular bus connections link the town to neighboring cities.
The German forces officially surrendered here on May 5, 1945, marking the end of World War II in the Netherlands.
