Amsterdamscheveld is a hamlet in the Netherlands and is part of the Emmen municipality in Drenthe.

In 1850, investors from Amsterdam purchased a 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) long piece of land for the exploitation of peat.

In 1909, the land was bought by the Griendtsveen Turfstrooisel Mij who built a turf straw factory at the site.

[5] Amsterdamscheveld is a statistical entity,[1] however the postal authorities have placed it under Erica.

[6] The narrow gauge industrial railway museum is located in Amsterdamscheveld, and uses tracks which were previously used by the factory.
