ZoM - Religious Centre
16 shoudios
1721 metersIn the middle-ages, Maastricht was a religious 'tourist spot', a draw for pilgrims to the grave of Saint Servatius. The urban economy and society was mainly aimed at this religious function. Towers of the many and very varying monasteries, chapels, basilica's and parish churches dominated the monumental silhouette of the city. Even now, one can find many multicolored expressions of the ecclesiastical culture in Maastricht. The Heiligdomsvaart, which returns every seven years, is an example of the still existing religious traditions; a great example of the 'cultural continuity'. There are still many places and ecclesiastical buildings that still exude the original medieval religious atmosphere. Many renovated ecclesiastical buildings are registered as a monument, but they never became museums; they kept their religious functions. Moreover, the Maastricht churches often still have their altars, sculptures, fresco's and paintings, religious plates and ecclesiastical furniture. In Maastricht, the religious cultural inheritance hasn't ended up in the museum either.

ZoM - Ville de Garnison
10 shoudios
1864 metersBecause of its strategic position, Maastricht was one of the most important fortified- and garrison cities of Northwest Europe for centuries. The fortresses, the remains of the fortifications and the city walls are still tangible witnesses of the military strategic function of Maastricht. For centuries, 25 percent of the Maastricht population were Spanish, 'Staatse' (followers of the republic) and French soldiers. From 1600 until ca. 1830, the city's economy was entirely aimed at the presence of the garrison within its walls. Traces of the age-long military presence still lingers on in stories, military maps, rituals and expressions. In the socio-economic and cultural fields, Maastricht modernized itself as a fortified city. Examples are the rising of the Stokstraatkwartier as harbor area, the impressive town hall and the transformation of the appearance of the city, due to the 'from wood to stone' process. The medieval half-timbering was pass, but the medieval street pattern remained.

ZoM - Frühe Industriestadt
8 shoudios
3766 metersMaastricht is the oldest labour- and industrial town of the Netherlands. With the settlement of several major industries form the 1830's the history of the old fortificated city entered a new era. Petrus Regout (1801-1878) gave Maastricht a new identity. Before that all conditions were created for the early industrialisation. Infrastructure was improved by the construction of the canal 'Zuid Willemsvaart' (1817-1824) and the 'Bassin' inner harbour (1826). The establishing of the industrial era also brought social trouble. Living- and working conditions of the labourers were extremely poor. In other industrial towns many of the traces of early industrialisation are erased. Maastricht however kept it's early industrial character and even matched it quite succesfull with the city's other identities. Much of the industrial heritage is saved and often re-used for other puposes. But a lot of the stories on everyday life in the early industrial town are not yet written.
