Oude IJsselstreek, Municipality in Gelderland, Netherlands
Oude IJsselstreek is a municipality in Gelderland situated between the Rhine and Issel rivers, encompassing settlements like Ulft, Gendringen, and Varsseveld. The area spans diverse landscapes mixing urban centers with rural surroundings throughout its territory.
The municipality was formed in 2005 when Gendringen and Wisch merged, following a region shaped by iron ore mining and the DRU industrial works. Manufacturing and extraction drove the area's development for generations.
The former DRU industrial site transformed into a cultural hub hosts theater performances and a library, becoming the center of community gatherings. This conversion reflects how the region turned its manufacturing past into a modern meeting place for residents and visitors.
Visit the different settlements individually as they are spread throughout the region rather than clustered together. Most administrative services and cultural facilities are centered around the DRU site.
The region participates in a network of European cities that share industrial heritage, connecting with other places that emerged from metalworks and mining. This international partnership shows how places with similar pasts support each other today.
