dbo:abstract
  • Kralingen is a former village in the Dutch province of South Holland, now a neighbourhood of Rotterdam. It is located about 3 kilometres east of the city centre, in the borough Kralingen-Crooswijk. Kralingen was a separate municipality until 1895, when it merged with Rotterdam. Previously, the high society of the growing city had their pleasure gardens and villas erected there in the 19th century, on the eastern outskirts of the village. The easternmost part of Kralingen, Woudestein, is where the main campus of Erasmus University Rotterdam and the Excelsior Rotterdam stadium are situated. Kralingen is home to a Louis XIV-XV style mansion which is on the national monument register. It is also the location of Kralingse Plas, a large surface water used for recreation, and the Kralingse Bos, a forest of 2 square kilometres that welcomed 100,000 visitors for the Kralingen Music Festival in 1970 which was the "European answer to Woodstock", with 20 rock and pop groups performing, including Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, The Byrds and Santana. Footballer Robin van Persie was born and spent much of his youth in Kralingen. When Rotterdam was bombed on 14 May 1940, a large area in the western part of Kralingen went up in flames with it. (en)
  • Kralingen is een voormalige gemeente in de Nederlandse provincie Zuid-Holland en thans wijk in Rotterdam. Kralingen werd in 1895 bij Rotterdam gevoegd en maakt nu - samen met Crooswijk, Struisenburg en De Esch - deel uit van het bestuurscommissiegebied Kralingen-Crooswijk. Aan de rand van Kralingen ligt de Kralingse Plas, omringd door het Kralingse Bos. Midden in Kralingen ligt de Oudedijk. Kralingen is een wijk met twee buurten: Kralingen-West en Kralingen-Oost. Kralingen-Oost behoort tot de duurste woonwijken van Nederland. Kralingen-West is, net als de naburige wijk Crooswijk, een volksbuurt met goedkope sociale woningbouw met een cumulatie van problemen zoals werkloosheid, drugsgebruik, schooluitval en dergelijke. Scholen en andere voorzieningen in Kralingen zijn overwegend gesegregeerd naar sociale klasse, hoewel sommige wijkbewoners rond 2010 initiatieven namen om daar verandering in te brengen. Op de Nieuw Park Rozenburgschool, de Arentschool en bij voetbalclub Excelsior waren daar voorbeelden van te zien. (nl)
