That at least is the intention of the future owner, Ten Doeschot, who in the past also acquired monumental hotel &#8216;t Lansink in Hengelo, which he renovated and restored in its old glory.<\/p>\n<p>According to Alderman Bron, Ten Doeschot will make a pearl of the building. The purchase represents a symbolic amount, but investing in the restoration will require millions. The Vereenigingsgebouw is part of the so-called WTC district in Hengelo, the business area of the World Trade Center Twente, which will be housed in the former Hofstede MTS.<\/p>\n<p>The history of the Vereenigingsgebouw dates back to the late nineteenth century. In 1893, Stork commissioned the construction of the building to serve as a theater for the metal workers of the various Stork factories. During the last century, the Vereenigingsgebouw was expanded several times in various architectural styles and building components: showing off at the front, splendid practical at the back.<\/p>\n<p>The municipality has been in discussion with Stork over the past years about a new destination for the Vereenigingsgebouw in the context of the largest inner-city restructuring of \u200b\u200bthe Netherlands: Hart van Zuid in Hengelo. In the context of a package deal this was recently agreed upon in principle, as stated by Bron in the city council last week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Translated from original Dutch article in De Roskam, 27 februari 2016 Hengelo &#8211; The monumental building Vereenigingsgebouw on the south side of the railway station in Hengelo will be restored into a hotel-restaurant with conference and meeting facilities [Note Infestos: agreed with the municipality that the building will get one or more of these functions].
