Absolutely brilliant video ! Being from Antwerp originally myself, I have always wondered where the name "Meir" came from. Turns out it goes way further back than I thought.

Zeer interessant, vooral als Antwerpenaar. Ik begrijp wel tamelijk goed Engels, maar soms gaat het wat snel, waarom niet Nederlands ondertiteld als het reeds Engels gesproken is, of eventueel tweetalig? 🤔

Dankjewel voor je commentaar. Er zijn Nederlandstalige ondertitels voorzien. Ga naar "Settings", Subtitles, Dutch. Dan krijg je de originele ondertitels in het Nederlands. Via Auto-translate kan je eerder welke taal kiezen, maar deze zijn automatisch door KZbin vertaald.

Niet voor lang. Kijkend naar de Offerandestraat, wat het was en wat het is. Dit is de toekomst van Meir; ook derde wereld worden.

"Hout" means litterly wood... no need to assume.

I’m from Belgium . My grandmother’s last name was MEIR, but it comes from the Egyptian Ancient city ME-IR and those people moved to Israel…. The name MEIR doesn’t come from Meerhout ☝️‼️

Thanks for your reaction.Yes, MEIR also refers to this ancient city in Egypt en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meir,_Egypt but there is no historical evidence that the name MEIR of the street in Antwerp refers to this place. It is likely that it refers to the wet lowlands (called "MEER" in Dutch) that were present at this location in the Middle Ages.

Bruges is way more beautiful, nicer to shop and people are kind overthere. Antwerp is like Marokko

Met pijn in mijn hart moet ik je gelijk geven. Ik ben Antwerpenaar, ik “was” ooit trots op mijn stad, helaas onze stad enorm achteruit gegaan de laatste (plusminus) 20 jaar….Brugge en Gent zijn (voorlopig) nog steden die hun charme gehouden hebben en (nog) niet verloederd zijn. 👍

@@lydiap6896 trek uw ogen open mensen. Waarom zijn gent en brugge mooier? omdat ze daar meer moeite doen het stadsbeeld en architecturaal erfgoed te behouden en de stad leefbaarder te houden: meer groen en vooral MINDER AUTOS IN DE BINNENSTAD! Ook wijken zouden ze mooier kunnen bouwen. Kijk naar de Nederlanders, die doen dat gewoon.

Dat is wat ik bedoel. Ofwel worden mooie historische gebouwen in Antwerpen afgebroken om er lelijke moderne gedrochten te zetten, en op andere plaatsen laten ze vervuiling en verwaarlozing toe. Merci, o.a. aan onze burgemeester 🤨

Interesting.... but, looking at your own profile, you are African???? You don't lile your neighbours from Maroc? Isn't this racism?

Its amazing to me that no one questions how they could build these buildings in 1700 with only wagon and horse and chisels.....come on people do a little research😂

Long before the 1700s, even taller and more complex buildings such as cathedrals were built without the use of modern power tools. This video shows how medieval engineers managed to pull this off. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZrZooqEabFmsLc
