Cycle route along the Eerbeek brooks
Eerbeek, Dieren, Brummen
The Eerbeek brooks played a crucial role in the development of the Veluwe paper industry in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. These springs were created by tapping springs from the Veluwe hills to create a constant flow of water. The flowing water drove waterwheels, which in turn powered the hammers in the paper mills to process rags into pulp. The clear, low-lime water was also perfect for paper production. In Eerbeek, a paper mill on the Coldenhovense Beek was mentioned as early as 1643. The number of paper mills in the region grew considerably during the 17th and 18th centuries. The combination of natural resources and technological innovation led to a flourishing paper industry. Several paper mills were established in Eerbeek and Loenen, some of which grew into larger companies. The paper mills were often owned by noble families, but were later sold to the tenants who operated them. The paper industry had a profound influence on the economic and social structure of the region. In villages such as Eerbeek, Brummen, Laag-Soeren and Cortenoever, paper production became an important source of employment and prosperity. The industry also stimulated the development of infrastructure, such as roads and canals, to transport the paper. Although many of the original paper mills have disappeared, the legacy of this industry remains visible in the landscape and culture of the region.
