Kleine Huisjes
Kleine Huisjes (also: Lutjeboeren;[3] Gronings: Lutje Hoeskes; translation: Little Houses) is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is a part of the municipality of Het Hogeland. It is located 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) north-east of Kloosterburen.[4]
Etymology
The name translates as Little Houses, and refers to the little houses which were built for the farm workers.[5]
History
Kleine Huisjes was part of a salt marsh wall which was about 1 metre above sea level. Habitation started in the 11th or 12th century, and the land was protected by a dike around 1250.[6] In the mid-18th century, little houses were constructed for the workers who poldered the land and worked on the farms.[5] In 1827, it was first mentioned as Lutjeboeren (Little Farmers). Around 1900, the village was referred to as Kleine Huisjes on maps.[3]
The postal authority does not recognise Kleine Huisjes as a separate entity and has put it under Kloosterburen.[3] The village is recognised as a statistical entity, but it does not have many inhabitants,[1] and no church. Nevertheless, the villagers insist that it is a village and not a hamlet.[3]
Up to 1989, Kleine Huisjes was part of the municipality of Kloosterburen. In 1990, it was merged into De Marne which was merged into Het Hogeland in 2019.[3]
