Sugar factory

Highlight • Historical Site

The Wester Sugar Refinery once stood in this area. It was once the largest sugar factory in the Netherlands and was known for its sugar syrup. As early as 1919, the company became part of the Central Sugar Company (CSM). The office on Spaarndammerstraat was then abandoned, but the factory continued to function for many years. However, on November 1, 1965, the company closed its gates altogether. More than 250 workers were laid off, half of whom were able to work in the factory at Halfweg. The name Suikerplein still recalls the refinery, as does a small entrance gate on the Van Noordtkade that was designed in 1994 by artist Joke Overwater.

The Gardens of Westerpark

Highlight • Natural

In the Westerpark you have two allotment garden complexes: Allotment Garden Association Sloterdijkermeer and Tuinpark Nut en Genoegen. From March 1, the gates will be opened and everyone can walk here, enjoy the peace and participate in activities. Even if you are not a member. 'These gardens have been there for 100 years. Because everyone had their own garden and house and there was no public planning, there is absolutely no monoculture with tight hedges. You see an enormous diversity of plants, trees, animals and garden houses.'

War memorial

Highlight • Monument

There is a small war memorial here. Every May 4, Remembrance Day takes place here and TAVENU plays. After the two minutes of silence, the flags of the Allies will be raised. One of them is still the flag of the former Soviet Union, with hammer and sickle. It shows how great the influence of the Dutch Communist Party was in this neighborhood. The monument was designed by architect G.A. Roobol, who once lived at the Zaanhof, consists of a wave of bricks. It therefore fits in well with the Amsterdam School buildings in the area.
Pay close attention to the sayings above the gates in this square. One of the sayings refers to the Housing Act that was passed in parliament in 1901 and made it possible for large-scale social housing for workers to be built in Amsterdam.
