Groningen (Province)
Groningen
is the northeast province of the
Netherlands
with a typical
dialect
(
Gronings
) with regional nuances. In the east it borders the
German
region
Niedersachsen
, in the south with
Drenthe
, in the west with
Frysln
and in the north the
Wadden Sea
. Land use in Groningen is mainly agricultural, it has a large
natural gas field
near
Slochteren
. East Groningen has been the scene of a particularly fierce
class struggle
in the 19th and 20th century. Here is the only municipality (Beerta) where the Dutch
Communist
party has ever had a
mayor
(
Hanneke Jagersma
). The
capital
of the province is the city of
Groningen
.
