1. Vesting Bourtange Bourtange
Fort Bourtange is a star fort in the village of Bourtange, Groningen, Netherlands. It was built under orders of William the Silent and completed in 1593. Its original purpose was to control the only road between Germany and the city of Groningen, which was controlled by the Spaniards during the time of the Eighty Years' War. After experiencing its final battle in 1672, the Fort continued to serve in the defensive network on the German border until it was finally given up in 1851 and converted into a village. Fort Bourtange currently serves as a historical museum.

2014 Bourtange-Groningen-Nederland-Europa

Bourtange (Gronings: Boertang) is een vestingdorp in de provincie Groningen, dat tijdens de Nederlandse Opstand is aangelegd. Bourtange ligt in de gemeente Vlagtwedde, in de streek Westerwolde. Het is een beschermd dorpsgezicht. Hoewel de grachten en muren anders doen vermoeden, heeft Bourtange nooit stadsrechten gehad.

Tussen 1811 en 1821 was Bourtange een zelfstandige gemeente, waartoe in het beginjaar ook Ter Apel, Onstwedde, Sellingen, Vlagtwedde en Wedde behoorden. De eerste maire was Paulus Eckringa. In 1811 werd Vlagtwedde afgesplitst en in 1813 Onstwedde. In 1821 ging Bourtange op in de gemeente Vlagtwedde.
