The Statenkwartier is a district in The Hague with a very old history. However, this is not the name it was previously called. Ir. IA Lindo, director of the Municipal Works Department from 1890 to 1918, made a fan-shaped street plan and at the beginning of the 20th century the stately and fashionable Statenkwartier between Duinoord and the projected shopping area was built. Characteristic are the diagonal street pattern with large, square intersections and the regular phenomenon of Art Nouveau design. Statenkwartier belongs to the town of Scheveningen, which is best known as a seaside resort.

The Scheveningseweg runs on the northeast side and the Van Boetzelaerlaan on the west side.

The Geuzenkwartier consists of several streets. Think of the Boetzelaerlaan, the Westduinweg and the Kranenburgweg. There are not many large houses in the Beggars and Statenkwartier. The houses date from the years 1910-1915.

The title 'Statenkwartier' comes from the name Staten of their old daily division of the area in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. Most roads are named after Dutch politicians of the seventeenth century. From the 'Geuzenkwartier' most streets are named after fighters in the Eighty Years' War, such as many Geuzen, such as Lumey, Boisot and Sonoy.

Geuzen- en Statenkwartier is located close to a number of well-known neighborhoods. Such as: Zorgvliet, Duinoord, Vogelwijk, Scheveningen and Van Stolkpark and the Bosjes van Scheveningen. Do you want to move to this neighborhood? Then choose moving company The Hague.

When there was war in the Netherlands, part of the district was demolished by the Germans to create a method for defensive functions. After the war, Johan de Wittlaan was built together with President Kennedylaan on the site of those defenses, next to many office buildings and schools. Nowadays the district is largely populated by expats, who often work for the global institutions found in the district, for example the OPCW and Europol.
