De Krim

De Krim is a village in the municipality of Hardenberg part of the province of Overijssel, Netherlands.

[3] On 17 October 1857, it was first mentioned as De Krim (Dutch for Crimea).

[4] That year, there was a riot among the peat workers which was suppressed by the Royal Marechaussee; the heavy-handedness of the police action was compared to the Crimean War.

[7] In 1862, De Krim obtained an official concession to excavate the peat.

[8] In 2004, the former rinse water basin of the factory was turned into a nature area and bird reserve.
