Nieuw Mathenesse
Sub-area
Delfshaven
Nieuw-Mathenesse, also referred to as the Merwe- en Vierhavensgebied (M4H), was once one of the largest fruit ports in the world. As part of the Rotterdam Makers District, this district is nowadays best known for the arrival of many creative and innovative manufacturing companies such as Daan Roosegaarde’s Droomfabriek, Lightship Cider and Atelier Van Lieshout. Due to the further decline in port activities, the area will slowly grow into a new residential and working area with catering, culture and other urban functions in the coming years.
