Deventer (Sound clip pronunciation (info / explanation); Lowlands 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 is already mentioned in 9th-century sources of the bishopric of Utrecht. An 877 charter mentions seven farms in Daventre portu[3] (the port of Deventer). In 952, Deventer is mentioned as a city in a gift charter from King Otto I.[4] After acquiring more and more rights and privileges over time, the city received municipal land from Emperor Henry V in 1123. This is considered by historians as the moment of obtaining city rights by the inhabitants.[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.
The city of Deventer had 81,545[1] inhabitants on January 1, 2021, making it by far the largest core of the municipality, which has a population of over 100,000.
