Nieuw-Schoonebeek
Nieuw-Schoonebeek is a village in the Netherlands and is part of the Emmen municipality in Drenthe.
History
Nieuw-Schoonebeek started as a peat exploitation settlement along the road from Schoonebeek to Meppen. Around 1805, settlers from neighbouring Twist in Germany moved into the area.[3] The village was officially founded in 1814.[4] In 1849, a Catholic church was built in Nieuw-Schoonebeek, and was replaced in 1966–67 with a new church. The tower of the old church has remained standing.[3]
In 1943, oil was discovered in neighbouring Schoonebeek. The population successfully sabotaged the wells which prevented the Germans from knowing much oil was underneath the ground. After the war, pumpjacks became a feature of the landscape around the village. About 190 wells were dug in Nieuw-Schoonebeek.[4]
Nieuw-Schoonebeek is home to several boôs, little sheds where cow shepherds could spend the night with their cattle.[3]
