Bredase bomen
From tree to new destination
Breda Beer Planks & Bottle Openers
Breda Trees is a collaboration between Tim van den Burg and the municipality of Breda. The municipality makes every effort to preserve as many trees as possible, but unfortunately sometimes it is necessary to fell a tree.
Since it's a shame to often chipping the beautiful wood, a new purpose is now, if possible, given to it. This could be a lovely picnic table somewhere in Breda, but also a wooden game, bottle opener or a chopping board. In any case, the origin of the tree, the type of wood, and its age are always branded on it.
Opener: €16.95
Beer Plank: €39.95

Five Centuries of Queer Breda - Luc Brants
From individual to community
The central theme of this book is the scope for action, which people in Breda and West Brabant had and still have regarding sexual, sex, and gender diversity. Charles de Lasco, the city painter of Breda, had no scope for action: in 1639 he was strangled on Zandberg due to ‘sodomy’. Maria of Antwerp entered military service three times in the eighteenth century, married twice to women, and became a father once. Judge Frans Hoppenbrouwers was accused of same-sex sexual behaviour in the first quarter of the nineteenth century, defended himself against these accusations, and managed to retain his position at the Breda court.
