Ont-moetbank Kapellerlaan
The Roermond community donated money for people in neighborhhods to have spontanious meetings. Therefor the Ont-moetbank project was initiated. The neighbourhood Kapellerlaan wanted such a bench as a meeting place. Back in 2017. A design proces started with the help of the Foundation of Real Remunjse Men, EREK, the local school and me, as designer. After many evenings and meetings there was a plan. The children of the school drew motivs to display on the benches, the Neighbourhood Council determined the place. Contractors were asked to make quotations. There was not much interest. Meanwhile the street was object of a massive reconstruction work, the bench had to wait. The design did not go well, there was no realising firm. At last the community luckily decided the bench was constructed by a well known street futniture construction firm, with a little bit more money added for the resalisation. This is the result, five parts of a semi circular steel bench with wooden seats on it. Aside the children‘s drawings, on a beatiful spot on the Kapellerlaan by the Riviver Roer in Roermond. The bench was erected just beside the Eerste Schot Monument 9-10 mei 1940, to remember the first shots of the World War 2 fallen in our country on this place.
