Barneveld (Low Saxon: Barreveld) is a village in the Dutch
province of Gelderland and also the capital of the municipality of
Barneveld of the same name, known in the middle of the Netherlands
for its poultry breeding and trade and as a strongly Protestant
community.
In 2020 the village had 34,800 inhabitants, who
are called Barnevelders. The Barneveldse Beek flows through the
south of Barneveld.
By train
Barneveld has three stations on the railway line
Amersfoort - Ede-Wageningen, a line nicknamed the chicken line,
Barneveld Centrum, Barneveld Noord and Barneveld Zuid. From 2007, a
light rail train from Connexxion started running between Barneveld Noord
and Amersfoort, 4 times an hour. Trains to Amersfoort and Ede run every
half hour from Barneveld Centrum. At Barneveld Noord station there is a
P+R from highway A1. From there, a train runs to Amersfoort every 15
minutes.
By bus
A number of long bus services run through the
municipality. However, a number of villages cannot be reached by bus.
Wittenberg bus station is located in the middle of the buses. Bus lines
102, 105 and 107 will be located here. Bus 102 runs between Amersfoort
and Apeldoorn every half hour, every hour in the evenings and weekends.
The bus passes through Terschuur. Bus 107 runs every hour from Putten to
Ede, every half hour on weekdays during the day. The 107 passes through
Stroe. Bus 205 runs every hour between Barneveld and Harderwijk. This
bus passes through Voorthuizen and Veenhuizerveld. Appel, Kootwijk and
Hoog Buurlo cannot be reached by bus.
By car
North of
Barneveld is the A1 and to the west the A30. A transferium was taken
into use at Barneveld Noord station in April 2006. Through this free
parking facility, the province of Gelderland and the municipality of
Barneveld want to encourage motorists to continue their journey to
Randstad by train. You will have to use the slow train between Barneveld
Noord and Amersfoort. This local train has only limited capacity and so
far offers insufficient capacity for a favorable alternative.
On
foot
The European walking route E11, locally also called
Marskramerpad, runs through a number of villages and hamlets in the
municipality of Barneveld. The E11 runs from The Hague to the east,
currently to the Poland/Lithuania border. The route can be found on the
internet, comes from Achterveld and runs through a varied landscape via
Terschuur, Appel, Veenhuizerveld to Stroe. From Stroe, the route enters
the Veluwe and runs via heide, Kootwijk, the Kootwijkerzand sand drift
and Hoog Buurlo to Hoenderloo. The route passes the former broadcasting
station Radio Kootwijk a few kilometers away. For detailed information,
please visit the website of Wandelnet.
Barneveld is served by Veolia buses. In addition to the OV-chipkaart,
which is valid throughout the Netherlands, there are some cards for the
Veluwe area that are only valid in this region. It refers to
Na9minderkaartje (“After 9 fewer cards”). The name says it clearly.
Outside the morning rush hour, the bus fare is cheaper. After leaving
the bus, the ticket loses its validity. So changing is not allowed. The
card is valid on all regional Veolia bus lines and costs €3.00 per
person.
Roadrunner children aged 4 and under 12 ride for free when
accompanied by an adult with a normal Strippenkaart or season ticket.
The card is valid Mon-Fri from 9 a.m., Sat+Sun all day long. The ticket

in the province of Gelderland, as well as on lines 43s and 86s of

Regional taxi De
Vallei
Regiotaxes are to supplement public transport on behalf of the
province of Gelderland. Similar to this, the Regiotaxi calculates its
tariff according to zones. The price is €1.75 per zone (+ 1 zone as
basic rate). From the 6th zone, you pay €5.75 for each zone. This should
make the Regiotaxi particularly attractive for short trips and
connecting trips. The Regiotaxi runs daily between 6 a.m. and 1 a.m. in
the regions of Veenendaal, Rhenen, Wageningen, Ede, Barneveld and
Scherpenzeel.

Hessenweg 2a. Tel: +31 (0)342 400073. Today, Barneveld is synonymous

poultry industry really took off here. Before that, the village was more
of a center for the sheep trade. Towards the end of the 19th century one
of the best-known and most productive chicken breeds was developed here
quite by accident: the Barnevelder. This "poultry museum" shows how
explosively the industry developed afterwards. There are also real
chickens and chicks to see, as well as a restaurant and gift shop. Open:

The name Barneveld may be an old name or a corruption of the name Bronveld. Another possible origin of the name is Amber Field. Another possible explanation: the word "barn" meant "to burn". In the past, (arable) land was often reclaimed by burning down a piece of forest. Barneveld is located in/near the former Nederwoud. The name indicates it: a forest area. In that region there are still many field names with "fire", which indicates reclamation by burning. Barneveld could therefore also have been created on a field created by burning (barning).
Barneveld has existed as a church village since 1333.
It is thought that the place already existed in the 12th century
because a text from 1174 mentions a Wolfram van Barneveld. The place
fulfills a market function in the Gelderse Vallei, but has never
been elevated to a city. In the 17th and 18th century Barneveld was
an important junction in the network of Hessenwegen. The name
Barneveld may be an old name or a corruption of the name Bronveld.
Another possible origin of the name is Amber field. Another possible
explanation: the word "barnen" meant "burning". In the past,
(building) land was often cleared by burning down a piece of forest.
Barneveld is located in / near the former Nederwoud. The name
indicates it: a forest area. In that region many field names still
occur with "fire", which indicates extraction by burning. Barneveld
could therefore also have arisen on a field created by burning
(barns).
Barneveld has also become famous for the account of
the Kabeljauw rider leader Jan van Schaffelaar, who jumped from the
tower besieged by Hoeken on 16 July 1482. A statue of him has stood
on Torenplein since 1903. Huize De Schaffelaar and the adjacent
Schaffelaarse bos, east of the village, are named after him. Since
June 2009, the theater (Schaffelaartheater) in Barneveld has also
been named after Jan van Schaffelaar.
After the Reformation,
the Protestant Barnevelders expelled the last Catholic priest from
their village, and he then settled in Achterveld, just across the
border from the province of Utrecht, making this village a Catholic
enclave in an otherwise Protestant region (Amersfoort and the
Veluwe). From Achterveld the priest could still reach his
parishioners in Barneveld on foot.
Barneveld was
located on the Grebbelinie and therefore suffered greatly from the
violence of war at the beginning and the end of World War II. The
population was evacuated by the German attack in May 1940, as was
the livestock. Most people had to go to Lunteren.
Thanks to
the initiative of Secretary-General Frederiks (Interior) (Frederiks
plan), at the end of 1942, two places to stay in the municipality of
Barneveld became available for the reception of approximately 700
Jewish Dutch nationals, who would be safeguarded from their "merits
for Dutch society". deportation. This concerned castle "De
Schaffelaar" and house "De Biezen". The German occupier did not keep
this promise either. At the end of September 1943, the Jews from
Barneveld had to go to Camp Westerbork and from there to
Theresienstadt. There, dozens of them died. Some of the others were
released in February 1945 during an exchange and transferred to
Switzerland. In 1987, a monument by artist Ralph Prins was placed at
the driveway of De Schaffelaar, in memory of the internment of the
"Barneveld group". On April 16, 1945, the Canadians liberated the
village.
The municipality of Barneveld is largely located in the central part of the Gelderse Vallei. In the east and northeast are the sandy soils of the Veluwe with forests, heaths and near Kootwijk the Kootwijkerzand. The municipality is intersected from east to west by the Barneveldse Beek.
The municipality of Barneveld is located in the so-called Bible belt. By national standards, the municipality has many inhabitants with a religious reformed belief. In the municipal elections of 2022, the SGP became the largest party (10 seats). Together with other Christian parties, the ChristenUnie (5 seats) and the CDA (4 seats), they have a majority in the city council.
Instead, a growing majority of the population is Orthodox Protestant. The Hervormde Gemeente is the largest church in the Netherlands. However, the largest church is De Hoeksteen of the Reformed Congregation in the Netherlands with 2,550 seats.
The municipality is characterized by a high concentration of pig
farms and poultry farms. The agricultural area consists mainly of
grassland and relatively little arable land, except on the edge of the
Veluwe and scattered here and there throughout the municipality.
The number of chickens in the municipality of Barneveld is the second
largest of all Dutch municipalities, namely 3.2 million chickens, after
the municipality of Ede with 3.6 million chickens (2020).
Due to
the high concentration of (poultry) livestock, the municipality has a
high manure surplus.
There are many campsites, especially in the transition zone between the Valley and the Veluwe, in particular between Voorthuizen and Garderen.
Barneveld has its own daily newspaper in the Barneveldse Krant. The
Barneveldse Krant is published by Royal BDU Publishers in Barneveld. The
first copy of the daily newspaper appeared on October 24, 1871 and the
newspaper has had a stable circulation for many years. However, this
newspaper was also hit by cutbacks and its circulation also fell
slightly at the beginning of 2013.
Barneveld also has a local
broadcaster, Radio Barneveld. Since October 5, 1996, this provides
broadcasts for the entire municipality of Barneveld. This station can be
received 24 hours a day on 93.5 MHz in the ether, Radio Barneveld on
cable can be received on 93.1 MHz.
Since November 2006, the free
door-to-door newspaper Barneveld NU from publisher Wegener has been
renamed the once-a-week Barneveld Today in order to form a competitor
for the Barneveldse Krant. Gradually, the publication frequency was
reduced to three times a week (summer 2009) to eventually return to the
level of Barneveld NU (summer 2010) with one publication per week on
Thursday. According to the editors of the newspaper, people would rather
read news on the internet 24/7 and that is the reason for the decline in
publication frequency.
The office of the Nederlands Dagblad was
also located in Barneveld for many years. This is a daily newspaper that
is distributed throughout the Netherlands. The newspaper mainly has
subscribers with a Christian background. Since 2017, that newspaper has
been based in Amersfoort.
