Good to know about Zwolle

Zwolle developed from a medieval settlement beside the river Aa rather than from a single recorded act of foundation. In 1230, Bishop Willebrand of Utrecht granted its inhabitants town rights after they supported his campaigns against the Drenthenaren. These rights permitted local government and the construction of defensive walls and moats.

Johan Rudolf Thorbecke, who chaired the commission responsible for the Dutch constitutional revision of 1848, was born in Zwolle. His birthplace survives at Thorbeckegracht 11. The street was originally called Den Dijk and was renamed in his honour; a marble plaque on the house commemorates its connection with the statesman.

A local legend explains Zwolle's nickname, Blauwvingers, or Blue Fingers, through a sale of bells from the Grote Kerk to neighbouring Kampen. According to the story, Kampen paid with a wagonload of small copper coins. Counting the payment supposedly stained the Zwolle inhabitants' fingers blue, providing a lasting nickname.

During carnival, Zwolle adopts the name Sassendonk and symbolically transfers authority to a carnival prince. The local ceremony includes the prince's reception at the railway station, a traditional performance at a bridge and the handing over of the city key at the town hall. The change of government is entirely ceremonial.
