1. Wenslauerstraat / Wenslau Street Marker
De herkomst van de straatnaam is onbekend, maar de straat is vermoedelijk vernoemd naar een grondeigenaar of bouwondernemer die hier gebouwd heeft. Herhaaldelijk bereikten het gemeentebestuur destijds verzoeken om dergelijke namen door straatnaamgeving te vereeuwigen. Vóór 1896 behoorde deze straat onder dezelfde naam tot de gemeente Nieuwer Amstel. Er staan nog veel overblijfselen van de oorspronkelijke lage bebouwing, daterend uit de eerste helft van de 19e eeuw.
The origin of the street name is unknown, but the street is probably named after a landowner or builder who built here. At the time, the municipal authorities repeatedly received requests to immortalize such names through street naming. Before 1896, this street belonged to the municipality of Nieuwer Amstel under the same name. There are still many remains of the original low-rise buildings, dating from the first half of the 19th century.
