Maarsseveen
human settlement in the Netherlands
Maarsseveen is a former hamlet in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It was located on the east bank of the Vecht River, opposite the village of Maarssen, and has now been completely absorbed by that town. Since 2011 they form part of the municipality of Stichtse Vecht.
From 1815 to 1949, Maarsseveen was a separate municipality. Apart from the hamlet itself, the municipality covered the polder Maarsseveen, and the hamlet of Oud-Maarsseveen.
“Maarsseveen” enters the record as human settlement in the Netherlands. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Maarsseveen, human and settlement can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Maarsseveen” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Maarsseveen, human and settlement provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2417345. VIAF identifies the subject as 140763829. The Library of Congress control number is n83314459. Authority coordinates are 52.141, 5.074. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2011, 1815 and 1949.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
