Limburg, a European Province (99 words)
Limburg is both a Dutch province and a European region with a highly distinct character.
The social and economic trends which affected the province in recent decades generated a process of change and renewal which has enabled Limburg to transform the drawbacks of its national peripheral location into advantages inherent in its European settings.
Today, Limburg is a European province par excellence and is the metaphorical hand which the Netherlands extends towards Europe.
Limburg (Netherlands) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1346 words)
Limburg got its name from the fortified castle known as Limbourg, situated on the small river Vesdre in the Ardennes, nowadays in the Belgian province of Liège.
Limburg was also the scene of many a bloody battle during the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648), in which the Netherlands threw off Spanish rule.
Limburg's surface is largely formed by deposits from this Meuse river, consisting of river clay, fertile loessial soil and large deposits of pebblestone, currently being quarried for the construction industry.
