  Koekelberg (Municipality, Region of Brussels-Capital, Belgium)
The municipality of Koekelberg (17,703 inhabitants on 31 December 2004; 114 hectares, therefore one of the most crowded Belgian municipalities)) is one of the 19 municipalities forming the region of Brussels-Capital.
The upper part of Koekelberg, a plateau dominating Brussels, was urbanized later and attracted the upper classs; mansions, family houses and apartment buildings were built in a much less crowded environment than in the lower city.
Koekelberg is mostly known for its basilica, the fifth biggest church in the world (length, 141 m; width, 107 m; height, 100 m), surrounded by Parc Elisabeth.

 Koekelberg
Koekelberg is één van de negentien gemeenten van het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest.
Gelet op de geringe aanwezigheid, haar specifieke taak, alsmede de verhouding tegenover het Franstalige bibliotheekwezen – hetwelk in Koekelberg gescheiden is van het Cultuurbeleid - kan zij niet worden meegerekend in het algemene kader voor ondersteuning van Nederlandse Cultuur en Nederlandstalige Jeugd.
Koekelberg zal voor wat betreft Nederlandse Cultuur zich inschrijven in het decreet houdende het ‘stimuleren van een kwalitatief en integraal gemeentelijk cultuurbeleid’.

For inhabitants of the capital city, the commune of Koekelberg to the north of Brussels evokes departures by road for the sea from the foot of the imposing basilica.
Koekelberg remains a commune to be discovered, particularly for lovers of architecture; here and there, perhaps at random in streets which remain peaceful, a few examples of Art Nouveau architecture can be discovered, less well-known than buildings in Ixelles or Saint-Gilles.
Evidently the last example of the semi-utopia 19th century projects, Koekelberg basilica is the result of a public competition held in 1920 and won by Albert Van Huffel (1877-1935).

 TERTIO 304 - Monografie over basiliek van Koekelberg
De bijzondere architectuur, de moeizame bouwgeschiedenis en de actuele rol van deze kerk in het Brusselse stadsleven komen daarin uitgebreid aan bod.
Het idee voor een imposant bouwwerk op het plateau van Koekelberg ontstond al in 1866 bij Victor Besme, de man die de grootse urbanisatieplannen van Leopold II voor Brussel uittekende.
Hierdoor is de basiliek van Koekelberg niet alleen een religieus rustpunt en monumentaal baken in het Brusselse stadsbeeld, maar ook een sociaal en cultureel trefpunt, met een multifunctionaliteit die honderd jaar geleden ondenkbaar was.
