How did illustrious nightlife and prostitution disappear from Rotterdam in the 20th century? And how does this past affect today's city? The PhD candidate delved into archives and interviewed former residents of the Rotterdam neighbourhood of Katendrecht.
His research is part of Pleasurescapes, a European research project in various port cities. Rotterdam has the largest port in Europe. As the port grew, economic activity shifted further and further towards the sea in the 20th century. Sailors came less and less to the inner city, which also changed the character of the city. Nightlife, for instance, looked very different in the last century; typical Rotterdam working-class neighbourhoods turned into a bustling scene full of obscure sailors' pubs at night.
This was not always very pleasant. In old newspapers, the PhD candidate found reports of fights, stabbings and robberies. Prostitution was quite normal in those neighbourhoods, but concentrated mainly in Katendrecht after World War II. That prostitution was limited to Katendrecht suited the municipality after the war, because it was far from the city centre.
In the s, crime and nuisance increased noticeably, to the dissatisfaction of many of the residents. The municipality hesitantly sought a solution and considered concentrating all prostitution in one place, similar to the controversial plans in Amsterdam. Among others, a design emerged for a phallus-shaped 'eros centre', proposed by architect Carel Weeber, the researcher found in the archives of the Nieuwe Instituut New Institute.
