  Wieringermeer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wieringermeer (population: 12,583 in 2004) is a municipality in the north-western Netherlands, in the province of North Holland.
The municipality of Wieringermeer consists the following towns, villages and townships: Kreileroord, Middenmeer, Slootdorp, Wieringerwerf.
The Netherlands were occupied by Nazi Germany and on April 17, 1945 a vengeful German command ordered the dike of the Wieringermeer to be blown up: the Wieringmeer was innundated.

Building the encircling dike for the Wieringermeer would be a little harder than it was for the later polders, since the Wieringermeer dikes had to be built without the major advantage the as yet unfinished Afsluitdijk would afford for reclamation: the absence of tidal currents.
These crops were succeeded by various species of grain; in the Wieringermeer the first would be rye, but the later polders followed the order of first wheat, then barley and finally oat.
The Wieringermeer, long since part of North Holland, would not become a part of it, but the municipalities of the other three and the islands of the Noordoostpolder would together form the 12th province of the Netherlands, Flevoland.

Construction started on the 18 km dike from Den Oever on Wieringen and the new construction-island of Oude Zeug and progressed satisfactorily; the Wieringermeer was closed off from the Zuiderzee in July 1929.

Uit alle streken van het land kwamen de bewoners naar dit nieuwe gebied; vandaar dat de bevolking van de Wieringermeer zo gemengd is. Helaas werd aan het eind van de tweede wereldoorlog en wel op 17 april 1945, door de zich terugtrekkende bezetter de dijk van de Wieringermeer opgeblazen.
Maar: meteen na de bevrijding stond men alweer klaar om de Wieringermeer voor de tweede maal op het water te veroveren.
