Mata Hari, pseudonym of Margaretha Geertruida (Griet) Zelle (Leeuwarden, August 7, 1876 - Vincennes, October 15, 1917), was a Frisian exotic dancer and lady-in-waiting. During the First World War she was recruited as a spy. However, she was accused of double espionage and shot by the French. The question of whether she really was a double agent is still a matter of debate and has contributed to her legend.

Mata Hari breaks through as a dancer and gets to know many (rich) men. Her travels, experience and many contacts do not go unnoticed at home and abroad. She is asked for espionage. She will ultimately be sentenced to death for this.

Mata Hari was born here. Her parents had a millinery here and that has not changed. Hats are still sold here.
