Schaesberg (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsxaːzbɛr(ə)x]; Limburgish: D'r Sjeet [dəʀ ˈʃeːt]) is a neighbourhood of Landgraaf and former village in the Dutch province of Limburg.
History
[edit | edit source]The village was first mentioned in 16th century as Gaesberg. The etymology is unknown.[3] Schaesberg developed in the 17th century between the Schaesberg and Strijthagen castles from the 13th century. In 1618, it became a heerlijkheid. In 1661, it became part of the Spanish Netherlands, and in 1713 an enclave of the Austrian Netherlands within the Dutch Republic. In 1785, it became part of the Dutch Republic.[4]
The Catholic Peter and Paul Church was founded in 1648. In 1699, it was expanded and a tower was attached. Strijthagen Castle was built in 1530, but probably had a 13th century predecessor. It received its current form around 1700. Schaesberg castle was abandoned in 1733, and only ruins remain.[4]
Schaesberg was home to 710 people in 1840.[5] A railway station was built in 1896 on the Sittard to Herzogenrath (Germany) railway line. In 1949, a railway line to Simpelveld was added. The railway station was renamed Landgraaf in 1986, and the line to Simpelveld closed in 1988.[6][7] In 1905, mine workers colonies were built in Schaesberg, and the village started to grow.[4][5]
Schaesberg was a separate municipality until 1982, when it merged with Nieuwenhagen and Ubach over Worms to form the new municipality Landgraaf.[8] It also became a neighbourhood of Landgraaf.[5]
