Remise Havenstraat, Tram depot in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Remise Havenstraat is a central tram depot featuring covered storage areas and two outdoor sections dedicated to vehicle maintenance and storage. The facility contains separate zones within a unified complex to handle different operational tasks.
The first section opened in 1914 when Gemeentetram Amsterdam constructed the depot between Haarlemmermeerstation and Schinkel, south of Vlietstraat. This original facility became the foundation for subsequent expansions of the operation.
The building reflects early 20th-century industrial design with clean lines and solid concrete construction typical of the Amsterdam School style. Its appearance shows how function and form were merged in this era of architectural development.
The depot houses several tram lines and provides essential maintenance services for Amsterdam's public transport network. Access is limited since the site operates primarily for transportation operations.
The site maintains a direct connection to the Electrische Museumtramlijn Amsterdam, enabling the maintenance and storage of historic tram vehicles. This connection makes it a key location for preserving transport heritage.
