Ernesto Behm's Poem

The mural depicts Ernesto Behm’s poem, which can be found on a plate at the bottom left of the mural. It recalls the history of the neighbourhood from the Romans to the Germans, via the Vikings, the Spanish and the French. It concludes with a wish that peace (Vrede) and tranquillity (Rust) may reign over the actual neighbourhood of apartment blocks with its mix of cultures – hence the name Vrederust!

The mural is located at the intersection of Beresteinlaan and Schoutendreef.
