the impartance of Jelle - 03.11.05
submitter: ART-chitect
location:Kwaadmechelen, Belgium
FIRST: today I made an appointment with our local newspaper for a picture of me and dad to go with the article about matthunting. The newspaper is called "Het Belang van Limburg" or "The Importance of Limburg"; Limburg is our province...the writers name: Jelle, who takes our way of life very seriously, thanks Jelle.
SECOND: we have a city called Mechelen, we also have a Mechelen beside the river "Maas" so that became Maasmechelen. No idea where Kwaadmechelen came from, "kwaad" means "angry,mad"

our friend Isabel and her dad made the effort to search the history of the name Kwaadmechelen : it comes from Quaedmaghinlo, quaed = small, maghin = big, lo = swampland...so that will be "the small village in the big swampland"
