III. 1. Maastricht and its industrial heritage<br />

In addition to its cultural prestige, it is not to be forgotten that Maastricht has also been one of the<br />

Netherlands’ earliest industrial city pioneering especially in the branches of ceramics and cement.<br />

That there is equal public interest in all the different identities of the city is manifested b the city’s<br />

virtual biography Zicht op Maastricht 53 . In, 1996 the annually Open Monumenten Dag has been<br />

dedicateed to the city’s industrial heritage (compare: Minis, S., 1996). Moreover, guided tours and<br />

lectures on Maastricht’s industrial past take place as for example by the Limburgs Geschied- en<br />

Oudheidkundig Genoodschap (Guid. tour Sappi, May 17, 2011). As Maastricht is lacking an own<br />

place of industrial memoria, like a museum, the city cooperates with the Continium in Kerkrade (Int.<br />

Rutten). As a local initiative, the Werkgroep Industriele Archeologie Maastricht, now incorporated in<br />

the Werkgroep Industrieel Erfgoed Limburg, part of FIEN, influenced by Gent industrial<br />

archaeology in the 70s, today is a group of about 6 to 7 interested researchers, academics and<br />

archivists, who voluntarily catalogue Maastricht’s industrial heritage. Yet, as there is no strong<br />

cooperation with the municipality, their efforts are mostly limited to the documentation of heritage<br />

and the publication thereof, prior to the intervention of urban development.<br />
