Enschede (English spelling)

Japanese: エンスヘーデ（英語表記）Enschede

The largest city in the province of Overijssel in the eastern part of the Netherlands. Located near the border with Germany, it is connected to the IJsselmeer by the Twente Canal and the IJssel River. It was granted city rights in 1325, but was only a small settlement before industrialization. It developed in the second half of the 19th century and became the center of the Twente industrial region. Most of the city was destroyed in a fire in 1862, and it was occupied by German troops during World War II, which dealt a heavy blow, but it was rebuilt after the war. It is the center of the Dutch cotton textile industry, and has a thriving trade with the United States. Other industries include metallurgy, rubber products, and tire manufacturing. It is connected to Hengelo in the northwest and forms a metropolitan area. Population: 147,199, metropolitan area: 252,989 (1992 estimate).

オランダ東部，オーフェルアイセル州最大の都市。ドイツとの国境近くに位置し，アイセル湖とはトウェンテ運河およびアイセル川で結ばれる。 1325年に都市権を得たが，工業化以前は小集落にすぎず，19世紀後半から発達し，トウェンテ工業地帯の中心地となった。 1862年の大火で市街地の大半が焼失し，また第2次世界大戦中はドイツ軍に占領され，手痛い打撃を受けたが，戦後復興した。オランダの綿織物工業の中心地で，アメリカとの取引が盛ん。ほかに冶金，ゴム製品，タイヤなどの製造業も行われる。北西のヘンゲロと連接，大都市圏を形成。人口 14万 7199，大都市圏 25万 2989 (1992推計) 。
