BARTJENS

Zwolle

Hertsenbergweg 1

According to the dictionary "According to Bartjens, they must have arrived a long time ago" (if you make a calculation of distance they have to travel and the elapsed time), means "calculated as accurately as possible". But who was this Bartjens? He was a schoolteacher, born in 1569 and died in 1638 in Zwolle. He wrote the book "The cijfferinghe" which contained a calculation method.

For this reason, the bar at Mercure Hotel Zwolle received the name "Bartjens".
