The Oude Amsterdamsebuurt, located in Haarlem's eastern region, is a charming neighbourhood. The area is part of Amsterdamsewijk, and it is separated from Haarlem-Centrum by the Herensingel. Its northern boundary is the railway line that connects Haarlem to Amsterdam, and its eastern border is the Nagtzaamstraat. The Zomervaart Canal runs along the southern border of the neighborhood.
The history of the Oude Amsterdamsebuurt is rich. It was a meadow that was open outside of the fortifications. The Amsterdamse Poort was the main access point. Between 1895 and 1925, in response to the increasing demand for housing by workers at the end of the 19th century the area was transformed into a number of affordable houses for laborers. The nearby railway workshops of the Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij (HIJSM) lent money to the housing associations to finance this initiative.
Sadly, the Oude Amsterdamsebuurt also witnessed a tragic incident during World War II. The RAF bombed the Central Workshop for Dutch Railways in Oudeweg on April 16, 1943. They wanted to make the equipment useless to the German occupiers. Due to a shift in the wind direction, 16 bombs were not able to reach their intended target, and instead fell into the residential areas of Oude Amsterdamsebuurt. The result was 85 deaths, 43 severely injured people and 62 light wounded. More than 1,600 homes were damaged, 84 of which were irreparably destroyed.
