Chronologische beschrijving van Tegelen / benevens aanteekeningen over Belfeld en Steijl

The work offers a chronological account of a Dutch riverside municipality and neighbouring hamlets, tracing settlement from Roman-era activity through Frankish and medieval periods. It combines topographical description—population, streets, farms, waterways, castles, churches—and economic life focused on pottery, agriculture, and local industry. The narrative records archaeological finds, administrative and ecclesiastical changes, infrastructure and landscape evolution, and includes curated local anecdotes and sectional notes on individual neighborhoods and landmarks. Organized into a general history followed by specific entries, it aims to preserve municipal memory and practical details for readers interested in regional development.
