Deventer (Sound fragment pronunciation (info / explanation); Lower Saxon: Dèv'nter or Daeventer, in local dialect: Dèmpter) is a Dutch city in the province of Overijssel. The city is the capital of the municipality of the same name and is located on the river IJssel. In the Middle Ages, Deventer was part of the Hanseatic League, an important North German trade network.
Deventer is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands.[2] The place has been mentioned in the 9th century sources of the diocese of Utrecht. A document from 877 mentions seven hooves in Daventre portu[3] (the port of Deventer). In 952, Deventer was mentioned as a city in a deed of donation from King Otto I.[4] After the town had acquired more and more rights and privileges in the course of time, in 1123 Emperor Henry V gave it access to the municipal land. 5] The city has the oldest stone house, the oldest walking park and with the Athenaeum Library also the oldest scientific library in the Netherlands.
