Summary "Langs Rotte, Maas en Schie. I." by J. M. Droogendijk and J. S. Verburg is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the history of Rotterdam, focusing on the geographical and social developments of the city, including its early settlements and significant historical events. It aims to educate readers, particularly schoolchildren, about the evolution of their city in relation to the broader Dutch history. The opening of the work sets the stage for the historical narrative by painting a vivid picture of the geographical landscape of Rotterdam 2000 years ago. It describes how a hypothetical traveler from Germanic tribes would have encountered a landscape lacking the bustling city of Rotterdam, noting the presence of only a few sandbanks among vast, marshy areas. The authors outline the environmental conditions, such as the Wilde Venen, and the gradual emergence of settlements along waterways, which would eventually lead to the establishment of Rotterdam. Overall, the beginning contextualizes the city's historical significance while preparing readers for a detailed exploration of its development throughout the ages.
