Winterswijk is a small town, located right next to the border of Germany and the Netherlands. Many Germans came, especially in the past, to shop in Winterswijk. Prices for coffee, butter and tobacco were the main reason to cross the border. In addition, Winterswijk always had a cozy large goods market on Saturdays. In addition to fruit and vegetables, the fried fish is a real bestseller. Nowadays, the prices for all kinds of items in Germany are lower than in the Netherlands and the Dutch buy their goods in Germany.
In Germany you always saw a lot of advertising columns (Litfasssäulen) so it's quite normal to place one in Winterswijk. The customers were already used to them.
This particular one is placed at the Winterswijk Central parking.
At the moment the photos were taken in Holland it was election time. A lot of the posters are for political parties.
One is for a concert of a tribute AC/DC band.
Today, German customers still come to Winterswijk for the Saturday market. Often there is also a cafe or terrace visited. During the camping season there are also many German camping guests in Winterswijk. There are more than 12 campsites directly around Winterswijk. There is also a 72,500 square meter store for camping equipment in Winterswijk, where many German customers come.
