The story

Story · Helperlinie

You're standing on the line of the Helperlinie, on the south side of the city of Groningen. Around 1700, a line of fortifications ran through here, just north of what was then the village of Helpman. It stretched from the Hoornsediep canal in the west to the Winschoterdiep in the east.
