History

Limmel has a rich and long history. The first time Limmel appears in history dates back to 1283. There are several websites dedicated to the history of Limmel. Below you will find various links to these sites. These links also include places where you can purchase reading material and/or video material.
At limmel.nl, we want to focus primarily on old photo and video material. Depending on what is available, a new slide show or video clip will be posted on this page on a regular basis.

Would you like to see your own material on the only official website of Limmel and would you like to share it? Please contact the editors of Limmel.nl. Thank you in advance!

 We start with a slide show of old photographs accompanied by music.

Abridged Biography of Father Mulkens

In January 2010, an abridged biography of Father Mulkens was published in De Trompetter, written by Mr Jo Boetsen. This biography was published in two parts. To ensure that it is not lost, you can read both parts at limmel.nl.

Father Mulkens Part I, Father Mulkens Part II

On the occasion of his 50th anniversary as a priest, Father Mulkens wrote a book called “Zeumeringe”. You can also read this book here: Father Mulkens – Zeumeringe Enjoy reading!

On 22 June 2003, Father Mulkens said farewell to his Lummel, after 63 years as a priest! You can watch a beautiful video of his farewell here.

Pastor Mulkenshof

Furthermore, on 2 February 2010, the Maastricht City Council decided to rename the square around Saraptaplein as of 1 January 2011 and to name the square located between Askalonstraat, Sionsweg, Sareptastraat and Dolmansstraat Pastor Mulkenshof. This was done at the request of the Limmel neighbourhood council several years ago. Once the construction and other work has been completed and the festive opening has taken place, the editors of limmel.nl will of course report on this in detail.

Thank you for the wonderful time and your commitment to Lummel!
