Mechelen

Mechelen is a city in the province of Antwerp. The municipality is located in the south of this province, centrally between the major cities of Antwerp and Brussels, on the river Dijle. Mechelen has more than 83,100 inhabitants. It is the capital of the district of Mechelen and the Roman Catholic co-seat of the Archdiocese of Mechelen-Brussels and of the Ecclesiastical Province of Belgium.

In the division of Lotharius I's empire between Charles the Bald, king of the Franks and Louis the German in 870, Mechelen is mentioned in the part belonging to Charlemagne. The name of the city is said to be derived from the word "mahal", which refers to a meeting or court place.

Until 1795, Mechelen was the center of the Heerlijkheid Mechelen. In that respect, the area had the same status as, for example, Holland, Zeeland, Flanders and Brabant. For a short period in the 16th century, the Netherlands was ruled from Mechelen. This period has contributed to the extensive art collection and several remarkable buildings.

The inhabitants of Mechelen are nicknamed Maneblussers. Saint Rumbold is considered their patron saint. Currently, the city has the second highest number of protected buildings in Flanders, including four UNESCO listings.

Mechelen is een stad in de provincie Antwerpen. De gemeente ligt in het zuiden van deze provincie, centraal tussen de grote steden Antwerpen en Brussel, aan de rivier de Dijle. Mechelen telt ruim 83.100 inwoners. Het is de hoofdplaats van het arrondissement Mechelen en de rooms-katholieke medezetel van het aartsbisdom Mechelen-Brussel en van de kerkprovincie België.

Bij de verdeling van het rijk van Lotharius I tussen Karel de Kale, koning der Franken en Lodewijk de Duitser in 870 wordt Mechelen vermeld in het deel dat Karel toebehoort. De naam van de stad zou afgeleid zijn van het woord "mahal", dat naar een vergader- of gerechtsplaats verwijst.

Tot 1795 vormde Mechelen het centrum van de Heerlijkheid Mechelen. In dat verband had het gebied dezelfde status als bijvoorbeeld Holland, Zeeland, Vlaanderen en Brabant. Gedurende een korte periode in de 16e eeuw werden de Nederlanden vanuit Mechelen geregeerd. Deze periode heeft bijgedragen tot het uitgebreide kunstbezit en diverse merkwaardige gebouwen.

De inwoners van Mechelen dragen de bijnaam Maneblussers. Sint-Rombout geldt als hun beschermheilige. Momenteel heeft de stad het op een na hoogste aantal beschermde gebouwen van Vlaanderen, waaronder vier UNESCO-vermeldingen.
