Roombeek a fairly well-known district in Enschede. Historically, mainly from the textile industry and factories that are in the area were (Menko NJ, Rozendaal - photos of water towers below), now mostly "due to" fireworks disaster ( vuurwerkramp ), which happened in May 2000 . But after the turn.
name " Roombeek ," as legend has it, comes from the brook (beek hol. ), which flows through the district. As the textile mills wypuszczały their waste to just rill, formed on its surface is often white foam (hol. room.) It is true that today a brook in the original does not exist (according to legend, was offended and put it into the ground), but it has its "modern" counterpart:
Roombeek lies near the center of Enschede. On a bike rides up there 5 minutes walk can come out of the 15 minutes. The district this was a magazine company Smallenbroek Enschede Fireworks in which, as it turned out, were stored (legal and illegal) fireworks. Residents were not aware of this fact, until May 13, 2000, first lit up one of the buildings, warehouse, and a half hours later the explosion (see the movie ) by which 23 people died (including four firemen) and 947 were injured. With an area of \u200b\u200b42ha of about 200 homes were completely destroyed and another 1500 (outside the district) is severely damaged. 1250 people left homeless. Material losses were estimated at one billion guilders (454 million euros).

The explosion in Enschede Roombeek residents have lost confidence in the municipality. Therefore, the developed Projectbureau Wederopbouw Roombeek (Roombeek Reconstruction Project) in order to rebuild the neighborhood. The project coordinator was the architect Pi de Bruijn . De Bruijn has decided that the recovery plan will be based Roombeek mainly for ideas units (small construction companies, private entrepreneurs). It is very unique situation, normally in the Netherlands that the district is being built by a major developer, and by the buildings look the same (or very similar). Rebuilt Roombeek the contrary - is a collection of different, often bizarre structures. To new district most match the needs and expectations of residents, workers Projectbureau before work begins visited all the surrounding families, that together z nimi ustalić cele rekonstrukcji. Roombeek miał według nich być (tłumaczenie dosłowne):
- dzielnicą, do której można powrócić,
- żywą okolicą,
- znajomą dzielnicą,
- bezpieczną dzielnicą,
- dzielnicą z przeszłością,
- dzielnicą z wartościową przyszłością,
- dzielnicą without borders,
- district in its own hands.
