Schimmelarij (also: Schimmelerij[2]) is a hamlet in the Netherlands and is part of the Coevorden municipality in Drenthe.

Schimmelarij is not a statistical entity,[3] and the postal authorities have placed it under Holsloot.

[4] It was first mentioned in 1867 as Schimmelderij, and means "belonging to the Schimmel family".

[5] It was called Schimmelerij until a hay wagon destroyed the place name sign, and the municipality of Sleen replaced it with a "Schimmelarij" sign.
