Note
"Hoogstraten (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɦoːxstraːtə(n)]) is a municipality located in the Belgian province of Antwerp. The municipality comprises Hoogstraten, Meer, Meerle, Meersel-Dreef, Minderhout and Wortel (Meersel-Dreef includes the northernmost point in Belgium).

Hoogstraten (originally Hoogstraeten) has a population of over 20,000, and lies in Flanders at the northern border of Belgium within an enclave surrounded on three sides by the Netherlands. Today, about 15% percent of the population consists of Dutch people.

The town is named after the hoge straat or "high road" – a military highway that linked the old towns of Antwerp and ´s-Hertogenbosch. In the town´s early days, little trade existed. Villages and towns produced just enough for their own support, with little or no surplus to be ´sold´ to other areas. Thus, most travelers along this high road were soldiers and armies." - (en.wikipedia.org 06.09.2022)
