Show sight on map

The Rietlandpark in Amsterdam East was given its name in 2005 and is named after the Stads Rietlanden. Until around 1880, this was an undeveloped, partly swampy and reed-covered area outside the dikes. At the end of the 19th century, trading areas and a railway marshalling yard were built here as the centre of the Eastern Docklands. Until the 1940s, there was also a locomotive depot of the Dutch Railways here. In the 1980s, the site fell out of use and was demolished around 1990.
