Why go

The Dommel provides a geographical thread through Eindhoven, which originated at its meeting with the Gender. The name points towards an older rural landscape around Woensel: eind means “end”, while hove referred to a parcel of land. That background helps explain the city’s roots in North Brabant.

What to look for

  • The Dommel runs through Eindhoven.
  • Woensel is connected with one explanation of the name Eindhoven.
