Facts and practical information

The Ter Pelkwijk Park is a park in the center of the city of Zwolle, named after the Overijssel politician Johannes ter Pelkwijk. It was built on the eastern part of the former fortress belt of Zwolle, which was dismantled from 1790 onwards. This is also where the Ter Pelkwijkstraat later came into being. In the park stands a memorial to a design by Titus Leeser for the more than 700 Zwolle citizens who died during the Second World War due to persecution and violence.

Students from several elementary schools in the neighborhood organize an annual ceremony at the monument in the park on April 14, the day Zwolle was liberated by Allied troops in 1945.
