Beleidsvisie In de Kadernota Sociaal Domein 2019 is opgenomen dat wij inzetten op meer nabij, preventief, dorpsgericht en integraal. Daarbij is het belangrijk dat we per dorp/kern een stevig netwerk creëren met onze partners, voldoende algemene voorzieningen organiseren voor dat wat binnen de dorpen speelt en een model ontwikkelen waarmee we ingezette zorg/hulp eenvoudig en snel op en af kunnen schalen. Deze werkwijze is de rode draad van de ondersteuning die wij onze inwoners willen geven die zij nodig hebben, tegen de kosten die we kunnen financieren. De sociale basis bestaat uit wat inwoners zelf kunnen en wat zij samen met en voor elkaar doen. Dit varieert van burenhulp tot allerlei vrijwilligersinitiatieven, zoals hulp bij het invullen van formulieren of kleine klussen in- en rondom het huis. Wanneer we spreken over de inwoner en zijn eigen netwerk, dan is dit in Renkum relatief kansrijk. Veel mensen in onze gemeente bereid zijn iets voor een ander te doen en dat schept kansen. Ook helpt een sterke sociale basis professionals om inwoners goed te verbinden aan netwerken, activiteiten en algemene voorzieningen in de buurt.

  • Operation Market Garden WWII
    Operation Market Garden WWII Operation Market Garden (17–25 September 1944) was an Allied military operation, fought in the Netherlands and Germany in the Second World War. It was the largest airborne operation up to that time. The operation plan's strategic context required the seizure of bridges across the Maas (Meuse River) and two arms of the Rhine (the Waal and the Lower Rhine) as well as several smaller canals and tributaries. Crossing the Lower Rhine would allow the Allies to outflank the Siegfried Line and encircle the Ruhr, Germany's industrial heartland. It made large-scale use of airborne forces, whose tactical objectives were to secure a series of bridges over the main rivers of the German- occupied Netherlands and allow a rapid advance by armored units into Northern Germany. Initially, the operation was marginally successful and several bridges between Eindhoven and Nijmegen were captured. However, Gen. Horrocks XXX Corps ground force's advance was delayed by the demolition of a bridge over the Wilhelmina Canal, as well as an extremely overstretched supply line, at Son, delaying the capture of the main road bridge over the Meuse until 20 September. At Arnhem, the British 1st Airborne Division encountered far stronger resistance than anticipated. In the ensuing battle, only a small force managed to hold one end of the Arnhem road bridge and after the ground forces failed to relieve them, they were overrun on 21 September. The rest of the division, trapped in a small pocket west of the bridge, had to be evacuated on 25 September. The Allies had failed to cross the Rhine in sufficient force and the river remained a barrier to their advance until the offensives at Remagen, Oppenheim, Rees and Wesel in March 1945.

  • Mesdag-Van Houten, Sientje
    Sientje Mesdag-van Houten, Foral Still Life Saint-Josse-ten-Noode 1847 – 1943 Brussels oil on panel 16 ¾ by 14 ¾ inches (43 by 37.5 cm.) signed lower right: ‘S M.vH’ provenance: Brabantse KunstJaleriJ, Oirshot, The Netherlands; Private collection, The Netherlands note: SientJe van Houten married Hendrik Willem Mesdag in April 1856 and seven years later in 1863 their only child, Klaas was born. In 1864, her father died and left her a substantial inheritance. This change in her financial situation allowed Hendrik to leave his father’s bank where he had been working for siXteen years and concentrate on his painting and eventually become a professional artist. SientJe accompanied her husband when he went to Brussels to study under Willem Roelofs. Their house in Rue Van de Weyer was often the focal point for Dutch and Belgian painters, and it could well have been the conversations on art at these soirées that stimulated SientJe’s mind and enhanced her artistic talent. She, like her husband, not only received instruction from Roelofs but also from Hendrik’s cousin the professional artist, Lawrence Alma-Tadema. SientJe van Houten accompanied her husband when he spent the summer of 1866 at the Oosterbeek artist colony and again in the summer of 1868 on the island of Nordeney where she, like Hendrik, spent time painting and sketching seascapes. The couple moved to The Hague in 1869, where they lived in a house on Anna Paulownastraat and later in a house on Laan van Meerdervoort. Her husband, who wanted to concentrate on seascapes, later hired a studio room facing the sea at the Villa Elba in Scheveningen where he and Sientje would spend hours painting and sketching.

Arend Ligtenberg (WUR coach); Dr. Ir. Ron van Lammeren (WUR expert) and Dr. Ir. Lammert Kooistra (WUR coordinator) 3 4 Preface This report is about the estate landscape of Oosterbeek is written by students of the Geographic Information Science Master in Wageningen, for a project called Academic Consultancy Training (ACT). This project gives students the opportunity to practice their profession in real life. Their assignment was to provide the Estates Initiatives Group, a group set up to create awareness about the change in landscape and view of the beautiful nature at different estates close to Oosterbeek and also in the surroundings of Renkum. 5 Summary The municipality of Renkum is famous for its estates, with its diverse scenery, and has attracted painters and other artist throughout the centuries. Over the course of time, views have been obstructed by the trees, and houses or other man-made structures. An attempt has been taken to analyse the current situation of the landscape, as well as the changes which have occurred since the 1800’s. 11 viewpoints and 1 view line have been linked to paintings and pictures of the area. These have been used in a view shed analysis.
