| Markenplein is the name of a square in the centre of Amsterdam. Until 1970 it was called het oude Markenpleintje and before WW II it used to be a part of the Jewish district of Amsterdam. The name Markenplein symbolizes the bond (Dutch: verwevenheid) between the new neighborhood with the past of the old Jewish neighborhood. | |
