★ ★ ★ ★ ★ op zich een mooi standbeeld hoor, maar... ik heb me altijd afgevraagd, waarom staat er in Dordt het standbeeld van hun alle2, en in Den Haag, alleen het standbeeld van Johan.... Het zou toch eigenlijk andersom moeten zijn?? Ze hebben toch nooit alle2 in Dordt gewoond??
in itself a nice statue, but ... I have always wondered, why is there the statue of all of them2 in Dordt, and in The Hague, only the statue of Johan .... It should really be the other way around? ? Surely they have never all lived in Dordt ??

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Als je daar staat in het oude Dordrecht, denk je onwillekeurig terug aan de tijd dat de gebroeders nog in leven waren, dat waren ook roerige tijden, weliswaar geen corona, maar heel veel andere ziekten.
When you stand there in old Dordrecht, you involuntarily think back to the time when the brothers were still alive, those were also turbulent times, although not corona, but many other diseases.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Tegenover het beroemde standbeeld kunt u desgewenst in café Centreville genieten van een heerlijke kop koffie of iets anders en tegelijkertijd ook nog van het standbeeld
Opposite the famous statue you can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee or something else in café Centerville if you wish, while also enjoying the statue

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Johan and Cornelis de Witt were 2 powerful brothers from the Dutch Golden age of the 17th century. Cornelis was the mayor of Dordrecht. Dordrecht was one of the most important cities that contained the Dutch fleet and Johan was the statesman of the Republic of Holland.
Johan was a free market, libertarian who believed in small government and more power to local authorities and helping the merchant guilds.
Unfortunately, Johan mismanaged a war and was disliked by the royal named Willem van Oranje. This led to the accusation of an attempted murder of the Willem that led to Johan's imprisonment in The Hague in the 'Gevangenpoort' and eventual death at buitenhof. Most famously know for its people cannibalising Johan's liver out of spite.
This led to the Mother begging for Cornelis de Witt his life but he was assassinated by a lynch mob.
This gave rise to the first king of Orange and turned the Dutch Republic into a Monarchy.
