== The city of Venlo ==
=== History of the city ===
[[Image:RivierenkaartVenlo.jpg|thumb|right|Map circa 1850]]
Venlo's history goes back to Roman times. Then it developed into an important trade post on the river [[Meuse]] and was a member of the [[Hanseatic]] League. It received [[City rights in the Netherlands|city rights]] in [[1343]]. Blerick, also founded in Roman times, on the other side of the river, was known as Blariacum.
Per '''«storia a fumetti»''' si intende una storia autoconclusiva, pubblicata in un'unica soluzione o a puntate/episodi/capitoli.
Because of its strategic importance, the city of Venlo was besieged several times. The most significant siege was that of 1702, carried on by [[Menno van Coehoorn]]. Consequently, Venlo was incorporated into the Generaliteitslanden of the United Provinces and later became part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
== Criteri di enciclopedicità ==
=== Venlo in the 2nd World War ===
Una storia a fumetti è '''enciclopedica''' se soddisfa almeno '''un requisito''' tra i seguenti:
# è stata oggetto di critica, analisi, dibattito in redazionali, articoli o saggi in pubblicazioni non amatoriali, di diffusione almeno nazionale
On November 9, 1939, two British Intelligence Service agents were kidnapped by the ''[[Sicherheitsdienst]]'' in what became known as the [[Venlo Incident]]. The Incident was used by the Nazis to link Great Britain to [[Georg Elser]]'s failed assassination of [[Hitler]] at the Burgerbraukeller two days before and to justify their later invasion of the Netherlands, a neutral country, on 10 May 1940.
# ha ricevuto premi o candidature a premi enciclopedici
# stabilisce un record nel settore (iscrizione nel [[Guinness dei Primati]], record di vendite o ristampe)
Because Venlo had both a road and a rail bridge over the River Meuse ([[Maas]]) the city was severely damaged during several bomb raids (13 October - 19 November 1944) on those bridges at the end of the war.
# rappresenta l'esordio di un personaggio enciclopedico (come protagonista, co-protagonista o antagonista) o di un elemento caratterizzante ed enciclopedico dell'universo narrativo di riferimento e che ha avuto un'edizione in almeno due lingue differenti
The allied forces needed 13 attempts to destroy the bridges. These failed, the retreating German troops had to blow up the bridge themselves. About 300 people were killed due to those raids. The raids also cost Venlo a major part of its historical buildings. However, some medieval buildings, such as the city hall (the 'Stadhuis') and the 'Römer' house, survived the war.
# è stata trasposta in animazione o in altro medium che non preveda una trasposizione seriale del fumetto stesso (sono quindi esclusi serie di [[cartoni]], [[anime]], [[live action]], ecc.)

== Coffee shops ==
By the late nineties drug-related nuisance had become a problem in the center of Venlo.<ref>

City officials together with The Hague launched the Q-4 Project and Tango initiatives that, amongst other measures, included moving the town's largest [[Cannabis coffee shop|coffee shops]] to the outskirts, where they continue to do business in a former [[rest stop]]. This was a win-win solution, as the town was freed from disturbances and the coffee shops are now even closer to the expressways. Since Germany prohibits the sale and ownership of soft-drugs (weed), her citizens cross the nearby border in order to acquire substances unavailable in their own country. Venlo is connected to Germany by two motorways ([[Bundesautobahn 40]] and [[Bundesautobahn 61]]). This allows for citizens of [[Düsseldorf]], [[Cologne]] and the [[Ruhr Area]] - Germany's largest metropolitan area - to travel there in about 30 minutes.
