Deurne

Understand

The municipality consists of multiple smaller towns and villages, Liessel, Vlierden, Neerkant and Helenaveen, as well as several former pendant villages and parishes such as the Sint-Jozefparochie, Zeilberg en Walsberg. Most of these towns are surrounded by farms. Pig farming is especially big in the municipality, but farming in general can be more diverse. Deurne borders directly with the Limburg province. In 2021, it was home to 32,000 people.

History By the 13th century there were numerous settlements in what we would now call Deurne. At around the same time other villages in the municipality formed such as Vlierden and Liessel. The people in Deurne have historically largely made their living by agriculture. During the 19th century there was an increased need in peat from the nearby Peel. Out of this need multiple villages formed including Neerkant and Helenaveen. Deurne was also home to Hub van Doorne who kickstarted the Dutch car industry with his 'Van Doorne's Automobielfabriek' better known by its acronym, DAF. As a result, there's a statue of him and his wife, near the center of town.
