Duivelshuis (Maarten van Rossum House), Arnhem

Highlight • Historical Site

The Renaissance building (1545) takes its name from the statues and masks traditionally said to have been erected by its former occupant, the bloodthirsty General Maarten van Rossum. He wanted to shock the officials, who refused to pave the steps of his staircase with gold. The general ordered the army of the Duke of Gelderland Karl von Egmont and was an opponent of Charles V. The house was restored in 1829. Formerly the town hall, it still contains some city offices. (Michelin)

Allied Artillery Piece at Arnhem Bridge

Highlight • Monument

The memorial in the Jacob Groenewoudplantsoen in Arnhem consists of several parts: an armoured gun, various information boards, a damaged aircraft propeller, a red memorial bench with a plaque and a white natural stone memorial stone, crowned by a combat helmet.

Historical significance:
The memorial in the Jacob Groenewoudplantsoen in Arnhem commemorates the futile attempt by the British airborne troops to force a passage through the defence lines of the occupying forces via Arnhem on 17 September 1944.

Captain Jacob Groenewoud was one of the Dutch soldiers who fought on the side of the Airborne soldiers. His task was to establish contact with Arnhem resistance fighters. He was killed in this area on 18 September 1944. This memorial for the Battle of Arnhem is named after him.

View of the John Frost Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Als Teil der 1. Alliierten Luftlandearmee wurde die 1. Britische Luftlandedivision am 17. September 1944 in der Nähe von Arnheim abgesetzt (Aktion Market). Sie hatte zum Auftrag, die Brücke über den Niederrhein bei Arnheim zu besetzen und damit den vordringenden Bodentruppen (Aktion Garden) die Passage über den Rhein auf deutsches Kernland zu ermöglichen. Befehligt wurde die Einheit von John Dutton, genannt „Johnny“ Frost.
Die Gedenktafel am stadtseitigen Ende der Brücke erinnert an die Geschehnisse um die heldenhafte Verteidigung der Brücke durch die Division Frost.
Inschrift:
„Am 17. September 1944 landete die 1. Britische Luftlandedivision etwa 8 Meilen westlich von Arnhem mit dem Ziel, im Norden des Niederrheins einen Brückenkopf zu bilden.
Das 2. Bataillon, die Fallschirmjägergruppe, focht sich den Weg nach Arnheim frei und besetzte die Gebäude, von denen aus diese Brücke kontrolliert werden konnte. Hier stießen sie auch auf andere Teile ihrer Division.
3 Tage und 4 Nächte wurde die Brücke gegen eine Übermacht von Einheiten des 2. SS Panzerkorps gehalten, bis, nachdem die gesamte Munition verbraucht war und alle Gebäude zerstört waren, eine kleine Gruppe Unverwundeter überwältigt wurde. Die mutige Verteidigung dieser Einheit, durch Feindaktivität abgeschnitten vom Rest der Division, hatte einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf die Führung der Kampagne in Holland und die Verzögerung der Bemühungen des deutschen Wiederaufbaus, um damit die Flussübergänge bei Grave und Nijmegen sicher zu machen.
In Erinnerung an die Helden der Ersten Britischen Luftlandedivision, die durch ihre Aufopferung die Befreiung der Niederlande eingeleitet haben, hat die Provinz Gelderland im Auftrag der dankbaren Bevölkerung der Provinz diese Gedenktafel angebracht.“
Frost besuchte regelmäßig das ehemalige Kampfgebiet um Arnheim. Am 16. September 1978 wurde die Rheinbrücke bei Arnheim in seinem Beisein zu seinen Ehren in „John-Frost-Brücke“ umbenannt." Quelle: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Frost#John-Frost-Br.C3.BCcke

Eusebius Church, Arnhem

Highlight • Religious Site

The Eusebiuskerk has the shape of a three-aisled cruciform basilica. Construction began in 1450 and was completed after over a hundred years. In terms of style, the building is strongly based on the Xanten Cathedral. In the church there is the magnificent grave of the Geldrian duke Karl von Egmond. The 93 meter high tower houses a large carillon with the second largest carillon bell in the Netherlands.

In the Second World War, the church with the city was largely destroyed. While the nave was rebuilt true to the original, the tower was given a modern finish, which was completed in 1964 and is accessible via a glass elevator as a viewing platform. The church is no longer used exclusively as a sacred space, but for various purposes.

Arnhem City Centre

Highlight • Settlement

Arnhem city center is fun to see, but much of it is also quite polluted; lots of trash on the streets. You really have to look past it to see the beauty.
