History metropolitan
area
Little is known about the beginnings of Tilburg. The name Demonym Tilburger
Tilliburg first appeared in documents dating from AD 709,[8] but Time zone UTC+1 (CET)
after that there was no mention for several centuries. In the later  • Summer (DST) UTC+2 (CEST)
Middle Ages, Tilburg referred to a region rather than a particular
Postcode 5000–5049, 5056,
town or village; its population was largely in a couple of hamlets,
5070–5071, 5074
one of which was known as "Eastern Tilburg" (Oost-Tilburg),
Area code 013
which was later reflected in the name Oisterwijk ("Eastern
Quarter"). This village centred around a small (probably wooden) Website www.tilburg.nl (http://
castle or Motteburcht on an equally small hill, which became www.tilburg.nl)
derelict and was torn down after a few centuries at most. Of
this first "Tilburg Castle", nothing remained c. 2000, except for
a few remnants of its moat in the suburbs of Oisterwijk. In the
14th century, Tilburg was proclaimed a manor; together with
Goirle, it acquired the title of "The Manor of Tilburg and
Goirle".

Successively, the manorial rights fell into the hands of several

lords of noble lineage. They derived their income from taxes,
fines and interest paid by the villagers.

In the 15th century, one of the lords of Tilburg, Jan van

Haestrecht, built Tilburg Castle. "That stone chamber at Dutch topographic map of the municipality of
Hasselt" is mentioned in several historical documents. In 1858, Tilburg, 2021
however, the castle was pulled down to make way for a factory,
but the name lives on, in the city arms and logo. A replica of
the foundations of the castle was restored in ca. 1995 in its original location, after the factory was demolished.
In 1803, Goirle was separated from Tilburg and on 18 April 1809, Tilburg was granted city status. In that year,
it had about 9,000 inhabitants. In 2009 Tilburg hosted several festivities in celebration of 200 years as a city.

Wool capital of the Netherlands

Tilburg grew around one of the so-called "herd places" or "Frankish triangles", triangular plots where a
number of roads (usually sand roads) met. These herd places were collective pasturelands for flocks of sheep.
Their shape is still reflected in the layout of many places in Tilburg. Many districts, including Korvel, Oerle,
Broekhoven, Hasselt, Heikant, De Schans, and Heuvel, bear the names of these old hamlets. The poor farmers
living in these hamlets soon decided not to sell the wool from
their sheep but to weave it themselves, and for a long time,
much of the space inside their small houses was occupied by a
loom—by the 17th century these numbered about 300.
Enterprising people saw their chance. As so-called "drapers"
they supplied the weavers with the raw materials for their
"home working", and the first Tilburg "mill houses" came into
existence. From then on, the wool industry underwent rapid
growth, and in 1881 Tilburg had as many as 145 wool mills.
Home weaving continued, however, until the early 20th
century. Woollen textiles from Tilburg were known far and
wide.

After World War II Tilburg retained its place as wool capital of

the Netherlands, but in the 1960s the industry collapsed and by
the 1980s the number of operating wool mills had declined.
Present-day Tilburg industry consists of a wide variety of
enterprises. The main economic sector has become transport
and logistics with a variety of industry as a close second.

Urban renewal
Tilburg, StadsHeer
When the wool industry collapsed in the 1960s, Cees Becht was
the mayor of Tilburg. While he was in office, many old
buildings were destroyed, including some precious
monuments. The Koningswei neighbourhood (King's
Meadows) was demolished and replaced by Koningsplein
(King's Square). The reason for demolishing the
neighbourhood was to replace slum with modern building. The
new development, however, has not been successful and may
feel that the square feels abandoned most of the year.[9]
Considered even worse was the demolition of the old city hall.
This classicistic-styled building was a national-registered
monument, but even that didn't stop Becht's plans to demolish
it to build the nine-storey, modern-day, black complex.[10] A
part of the empty area was used to build the system of the inner
Tilburg, Heuvel
Cityring.[11]
Another building that was demolished was the old
railway station, which was replaced due to Hoogspoor
(literally: high rails), a project bringing the railway on viaducts to reduce traffic congestion in the years around
1960. The century-old station building was replaced by the modern one.[12]
Because of all of this and some
more parts of Tilburg, Cees Becht gained the dubious nickname Cees de Sloper (Cees the demolisher).[13]

Modern history

In the 1980s, many locations, formerly occupied by wool factories had been filled with small-scale housing
projects. This mostly happened when Henk Letschert was mayor of Tilburg.[14]
The Heuvel, one of the
important squares, had its own lime tree until 27 April 1994, being chopped for a bicycle parking basement.
The felling led to many protests, because the tree was still healthy. After the Pieter Vreedeplein
reconstruction, plans were made to plant a descendant of the original lime tree. Three were placed, only one of
them survived. The last living tree was moved to another location again,[15] but died shortly after. As of 23
November 2011, no more descendants have been placed. The current one is just another lime tree.[16]
In the
1990s Tilburg developed a modern skyline. Because of new policy three buildings were built, which are
considered skyscrapers in the Netherlands. These are the Interpolis headquarters, the Westpoint Tower and
StadsHeer. The Westpoint Tower has an altitude of 143.1 metres (469.5 feet) and was the tallest residential
tower in The Netherlands until the Montevideo in Rotterdam surpassed it. The 'StadsHeer' is the third one
and is part of the 'Haestrechtkwartier' (Haestrecht quarter). The residential tower is nicknamed De
Vogelkooikes (The Bird Cages) for its cubic balconies taped onto the building.
King William II

King William II (1792–1849) was fond of Tilburg. "Here I can

breathe freely and I feel happy", he once said about the town.
King William II always supported Tilburg—he provided money
to improve the sheep breeding, built new farms and founded a
cavalry barracks on St.  Joseph Street, now a monumental
building of the City Archives. Although the King was always
made welcome by the manufacturers he had befriended, he
needed his own residence in Tilburg, and commissioned the
construction of a palace, which would function as his country
residence. Construction started in 1847 and was completed just
days before William II died, in 1849. It is now part of Tilburg
City Hall. In 1987 an obelisk was erected nearby, in memory of
King William II. It replaced the old "needle" dating from 1874,
which was removed from the street in 1968. After its
restoration, William  II's statue has got a place again in the
heart of the city, where he felt happy among its inhabitants.
The local football club Willem II Tilburg was named after the
king.

marshalling yard belonging to the Nederlandse Spoorwegen
became obsolete, a considerable stretch of the railway across the city, the Spoorzone,
became an urban renewal project. New premises for two courses run by Fontys University
of Applied Sciences will be located here, as will Tilburg's new central library, replacing the

Economy
The economy was concentrated on wool industry for centuries, however, since the 1960s, Tilburg has made
more progress in having different kinds of industries, supported by the government to save the city from
poverty after the decline of wool industry. Chemical company IFF[27] has a factory in Tilburg. In the 1980s,
the Japanese company Fujifilm came to Tilburg.[28] Insurance companies like Interpolis and CZ are

car-producing company Tesla operates their main EU facility for assembly and distribution in Europe in the
industrial area of Vossenberg north of the suburb "De Reeshof" in Tilburg.[30]

Tilburg has a high concentration of transportation/distribution industries, specializing in value added

logistics and services, due to being the geographical center of the Benelux countries and being located on the
transport corridor between Antwerp / Rotterdam and the Ruhr area. The 'Waalwijk-Tilburg' region has been
in the logistics hotspots top 3 within the Netherlands for years now and finished third in 2017.[31]

Fontys School of Fine and Performing Arts

Tilburg is also the location of the Fontys School of Fine and Performing Arts (Dutch: Fontys Hogeschool voor
de Kunsten - FHK), part of the Fontys Hogescholen. The School originated from the merging of various
educational institutions that had existed in different capacity in Tilburg before being united under the Fontys
group, such as the Brabants Conservatorium, one of the nine conservatoires in the Netherlands, and the
Academie voor Beeldende Vorming.

Beverages

Schrobbelèr is a local liqueur. It has an alcoholic percentage of 21.5%, slightly lower than most bitters and has
a relatively sweet flavour. The drink is sold in a stone jar and is drunk cold from own glass, a high and tiny
chalice glass, larger than a Jägermeister glass.[38]
The drink originated in 1973 when Tilburgian entrepreneur
Jan Wassing started experimenting with a drink with lower alcoholic percentage that was appropriate for his
stomach. The result was successful. The drink is distilled now at Loven industrial area in Tilburg by the
Eindhoven company Schrobbeler Ltd, without the è on the last vowel. The drink is especially consumed at
Carnival. The name is derived from the profession of 'Schrobbelaar', in the textile industry in Tilburg. The
profession was unskilled and had a low wage.

Another known drink from Tilburg is Peerke's Nat, which has a higher alcoholic percentage than Schrobbelèr
(25%) and was introduced at the beatification of Peter Donders (locally named Peerke). The drink is sold in
bottles of 70 centiliters.

The Koningshoeven Brewery brews trappist beer. It was founded in 1884 at Koningshoeven Abbey.

most forest area. In the municipality, Tilburg has the Wandelbos, a forest south of the similarly named
neighbourhood in Tilburg-West, the Oude Warande, the Kaaistoep, a forest of 4.5 km2, and partially, Huis Ter
Heide in the northwest of Tilburg, a 6.5  km2-sized natural redevelopment area. Out of the municipality,
there's a national park called Loonse en Drunense Duinen which includes dunes of drift sand from the west
coast.

Sports

The local football team is Willem II, named in remembrance of King

William II.

Tilburg Ten Miles is an annual road running competition held in Tilburg.

Students' sports like rowing and hockey are popular as well. Tilburg hosts
three field hockey clubs that play in top national leagues.

Tilburg has an ice skating rink, including the 400  m speed skating rink
Ireen Wüst IJsbaan. Within the speed skating rink there's an ice hockey Koning Willem II Stadion
field. The hockey team Tilburg Trappers dominated the Eredivisie (Dutch
Premier League) for years before moving to the Oberliga, the third tier of
ice hockey in Germany.

Transport
Tilburg has three railway stations: Tilburg (Centraal), Tilburg Universiteit
and Tilburg Reeshof. The latter was built to connect the then-latest district of
Tilburg, the Reeshof. Intercity trains only stop at Tilburg (centraal). The
name of Tilburg Universiteit Station was Tilburg West from its construction
in 1968 to December 2010, however, after 40 years, it was not the
westernmost station anymore. A fourth railway station is planned for Berkel-
Enschot, also in the municipality of Tilburg and getting more absorbed into
Tilburg. In the past, until 1938, Berkel-Enschot had its own train station.
Udenhout, lying further northeast in the municipality, also had its train
station until 1938. Both stations are on the line to 's-Hertogenbosch.

The Tilburg city and local buses are operated by Veolia Transport Nederland.
The city experimented from 2005 to 2008 with free public transport for
children and 55+ people. Before Veolia took over the bus network, it was
operated by BBA (abbreviation for Brabants(ch)e Buurtspoorwegen en Tilburg Railway Station
Autobussen). It has since been transferred to Arriva.

Tilburg has an extensive bicycle path network called Sternet-Routes. The first bicycle path of this network
was built between the city center and the university in 1975. From the mid-1990s, multiple bicycle paths
(rather than lanes along the road) have been built. Since most of these have been paved by tiles, there is an
increasing call for asphalt-paved paths. For this network of bicycle paths, some new tunnels were built under
the railway that crosses the city.[42]

Tilburg is, at variance from other Dutch cities of a similar size, connected by only one national motorway, the
A58 / E312 (to Breda and Eindhoven). An outer beltway, consisting of two provincial 2x2-roads and the A58,
was finished in May 2012.[43] Although the outer beltway is fully navigable, the Burgemeester Bechtweg,
which was built initially as a two-lane (one per direction) road, was finished in 2013. Two other routes are of
considerable importance for Tilburg: the A261/N261 to Waalwijk and the A65/N65 to 's-Hertogenbosch.
Neither is a complete motorway, and both experience bottlenecks. Various plans exist to build both to higher
standards, with the N261 improved in 2015.[44]

Twin towns – sister cities

Tilburg is twinned with:

Changzhou, China[45]
 Lublin, Poland[46]
Matagalpa, Nicaragua[47]
Minamiashigara, Japan[48]
Same, Tanzania[49]
