The Frederik Hendrikbuurt is an Amsterdam neighborhood located in the West district. Established during the late 19th century, this neighborhood is bordered by four canals: Singelgracht, Hugo de Grootgracht, Kostverlorenvaart and Kattensloot. It was named for Frederik Hendrik who served as Stadtholder of Holland during the first half of 17th century - including streets named after his contemporary Hugo de Groot and Amalia van Solms - as well as streets named for those named after his contemporaries Hugo de Groot and Amalia van Solms.
At one time, this area was known as Zaagmolenbuurt and was administered by Nieuwer Amstel municipality. Home to several sawmills used for shipbuilding and housing construction - however with the advent of steam engine powering them outmoded them eventually demolished them, leaving only Otter mill standing today along Kostverlorenvaart.
From 1870, Amsterdam annexed the former industrial area and started housing construction there in 1877. Most of this housing construction was undertaken by private individuals using revolutionary but inexpensive construction methods to erect stack houses for rent out purposes. Hugo de Grootkade of the Society for Public Housing was an outstanding example of charitable housing construction, having constructed affordable and decent homes for working families beginning in 1894. Privately built buildings on the Nassaukade and Frederik Hendrikplantsoen as well as in Van Oldenbarneveldt have more stately characteristics. Following the implementation of the Housing Act in 1902, housing associations could submit building plans for working families that adhered to its terms; one such Association for the Improvement of Housing "The Workers' Home" hired Hein Berlage in 1912 to design an complex at Rombout Hogerbeetsstraat and Zaagmolenstraat that is still being rented by housing corporation Ymere today.
Zomers Buiten played an active role in urban renewal by purchasing homes here through swaps with other housing associations during the 1960s and 70s, demolishing complexes with poor conditions and replacing them with Housing Act homes.
