GRONINGEN

Groningen is a small, somewhat dull municipality in the northern part of Kronenburg. The most important settlement is the city of the same name, which was founded in 1745 and has around 106,000 inhabitants. Elsewhere in the municipality are the villages of Piaam, Zwarte Kesp and De Laagte, as well as De Holte and Fort Gorecht, the latter two of which are located on separate islands that are part of Groningen. The municipality borders Oud-Kronenburg, Alexanderstad, Bredenburg, and Waterland and (separated by sea) Dietzland and Hinte. In 2008 the construction of a new town started, called Ennemaburg, in order to take some pressure away from the over-populated cities of Alexanderstad and Friescheburg.

The city of Groningen originally was a fortress built to defend that part of Kronenburg against U.S. attacks originating from Rhode Island. On the southern border of the city, the largest military barracks of Kronenburg are located and retail in Groningen thrives for a large part because of these. From the many warehouses on the city's quais, one has a splendid view on the woody island of De Holte, on the activities in the ferry harbours to this island as well as to the island of Fort Gorecht and the city of New Bedford in Massachusetts (U.S.), and of course on the sea. On the Laan 1871 an important monument can be found to commemmorate the soldiers that were killed in the 1871 war.

The rest of the municipality is largely covered with woods and fields, where farmers occupy themselves with agriculture and cattle-breeding.

Garijp, Haerstee and Auerhaan
Three picturesque villages that used to be part of of Waterburg, until they were transferred to Groningen in 2016. The main activity here is cattle-breeding, mostly pigs: the large fields filled with pig stables and lazy pigs can't be found anywhere else in Kronenburg. Auerhaan was the birthplace of former prime minister Ernst-Piter Strikwerda.
