About Enschede

Enschede (Dutch: [ˈɛnsxədeː] ; known as Eanske [ˈɛːnskə] in the local Twents dialect) is a municipality and city in the eastern Netherlands in the province of Overijssel and in the Twente region. The eastern parts of the urban area reaches the border of the German city of Gronau. The municipality of Enschede consisted of the city of Enschede until 1935, when the rural municipality of Lonneker, which surrounded the city, was annexed after the rapid industrial expansion of Enschede which began in the 1860s and involved the building of railways and the digging of the Twentekanaal. Enschede is home to football club FC Twente, one-time Dutch champions, the University of Twente, and the last Polaroid film factory. During the Carnival festivities, which take place in either February or March, Enschede is temporarily renamed as Krekkelstad, which means "cricket town" in English.
