Hilversum is the central city in Het Gooi in the province North Holland. Hilversum is home to many national broadcasting companies and is therefore also known as the "media city".
background
The high Gooi is one of the earliest inhabited areas in the Netherlands, as evidenced by the prehistoric burial mounds and finds of the Hilversum culture. Water collected in the deeper places, these became watering places for the cattle. The villages Hilversum, Laren, Blaricum and Bussum were created on these drinking troughs. The nutrient-poor sandy soils limited agriculture to keeping sheep.
In 1424 Hilversum received certain rights from Jan (III) of Bavaria (Johann Ohnegnade), regent of Holland, Zeeland and Hainaut (1418-1425) and thus became more independent of Naarden in the expansion of his own industry Sheep wool is Hilversum's contribution to the regional economy. In the 17th century weaving grew rapidly and this industry expanded into the 20th century. The farming village grew steadily, but was plagued by fires in 1725 and 1766, which nearly destroyed the village.
While wealthy Amsterdammers settled in 's-Graveland as early as the 17th century, this only happened in Hilversum in 1874 after the connection to the railway network. In 1882 the construction of the steam tram to Laren, Naarden, Muiden and Amsterdam was finished. This line existed until 1947.
The railway attracted the wealthy Brenninkmeijer family (owners of C&A) and others, among others. This influx from the Catholic eastern areas of the Netherlands and from Westphalia made Hilversum Catholic in the course of the 19th century. This led to the construction of the neo-Gothic St. Vitus Church for 1,800 people, which P.J.H. Cuypers was designed.
Since Hilversum was connected to the national railway network, the city has grown very quickly, initially thanks to the growth of the textile industry (weaving mills and similar businesses) and the settlement of carpet factories. In 1918 came the Nederlandsche Seintoestellen Fabriek (Factory for signaling devices) and afterwards experimental radio broadcasts began very quickly. This was followed by the establishment of radio organizations of all denominations, followed by television after the Second World War. Since the disappearance of major industries, the media sector has been the city's largest employer.
In the twenties and thirties of the 20th century. Hilversum was strongly influenced by the expressionist architecture of its city architect Willem Dudok. According to his plans, the town hall, numerous villas, the urban structure and the social housing of those years were created.
During the time the country was occupied by the Germans, Hilversum was affected in several ways. On the one hand, the new town hall was the headquarters of the Wehrmacht from 1942 (the troops belonging to it were housed in the Trompenburg district, which was not spared by Allied bombs), the villa district on the Verdilaan and the Rüdelsheim estate (a former Jewish facility for the psychiatric handicapped Children) have been declared a restricted area. On the other hand, there was also a relatively high proportion of Jewish citizens in Hilversum. The disenfranchisement and deportation of this population group happened mostly with the silent help of the ndl. Officials. However, the Hilversum population also took part in the February strike in 1942. The resistance of the population to the Nazi occupation made numerous victims.
After the war, many new residential areas were created until the 1970s, which increased the population to over 100,000. But then it went back to 80,000 in 1999.
Radio city
On old radios you could read the designations "Hilversum I" "and" Hilversum II "on the medium wave scale." Only two stations and we have one in every federal state ... "But the Dutch radio world is not that simple The Padio organizations that arose in the twenties were based on the social structures prevailing at the time, namely the strictly "pillar" society. Each pillar had its own schools, newspapers and of course the radio organization (Omroep) of which you became a member. According to the number of members, the Omroep measure its airtime. The following stations were formed in the twenties:
- AVRO General Association for Radio Broadcasting; liberal
- KRO Catholic radio broadcasting
- NCRV Ndl.-Christian Radio Association; Protestant
- VARA Association of Workers Radio Amateurs; social democratic
- VPRO Free-minded Protestant radio broadcasting.

Parks und Friedhöfe
- Anna's Hoeve. Naturgebiet (45 ha) im Osten Hilversums, teilweise in Laren. Benannt nach dem hier gelegenen Bauernhof (von Anna Vrolik - van Swinden). Angelegt zwischen 1933 und 1941 als Arbeitsbeschaffungsmaßnahme nach einem Entwurf von W.M. Dudok. Der Park und Wald umfasst Teiche, ein Wohnhaus und einen Pavillon. Der für die Anlage der Teiche ausgegrabene Sand wurde für den Bai eines "Bergs" an der Grenze mit den Larener Wasmeer verwendet.
- Lapersveld, Zwischen Laapersveld, Laapersweg und der Bahnlinie Hilversum-Utrecht, nördlich des Bahnhofs Hilversum Sportpark (Sportparkkwartier, Südöstliches Villenviertel) gelegen. Angelegt im Rahmen einer Arbeitsbeschaffungsmaßnahme um 1920. Der Entwurf der Anlage stammt von den Architekten W.M. Dudok und J.H. Meijer. Das Pumpwerk (1919) diente der Abfuhr von Regen- und Abwasser aus dem Stadtgebiet. Das Regenwasser wurde in den Alten Hafen geleitet, das Abwasser abgepumpt zu den Rieselfeldern am Loosdrechtseweg. Der Teich mit zwei Inselchen ist ca. 1 ha groß. Der Park wurde 1996 restauriert, das im Stil der Amsterdamer Schule entworfene Pimpwerk 1997.
- Alter Hafen, Zwischen Havenstraat und Loosdrechtseweg gelegen. 1876 angelegt am Ende der Gooische Vaart (ca 1650), die von 's-Graveland nach Hilversum führt. Der abgegrabene Sand wurde für die Anlage des Grachtengürtels von Amsterdam verwendet und das Baumaterial für die Erweiterung von Hilversum selbst. In Verfall geriet der Hafen nach der Anlage des Neuen Hafens 1938 am Hilversums Kanaal. Am Ende des Alten Hafens (bei der Havenstraat) befand sich ein Löschkai. Dort steht der Sand- und Salzbunker, entworfen von W.M. Dudok. Das Wasser im Alten Hafen liegt rund 15 m tiefer als die umgebende Bebauung. Im Mai 2000 wurde das Gebiet des Alten Hafens mit einem Stadtpark aufgewertet. Der Sand- und Salzbunker wurde an eine Aquariumhandlung verpachtet. Damit verbunden ist auch eine öffentlich zugängliche "Wasserwelt".
- Noorderbegraafplaats, Laan 1940-1945. Tel.: 31 (0)35 6210960. Städtischer Nordfriedhof, zu erreichen mit Buslinie 2. Angelegt wurde der Friedhof nach den Plänen W.M.

Willem Marinus Dudok begraben. Desweiteren steht hier das Kriegsdenkmal "2 Minuten Stille" und eine Plakette "Niederlande - Indien".

Die meisten Gräber sind abgeräumt. Grabsteine liegen flach auf der Erde. Einige sehr schöne alte Buchen befinden sich in der Anlage. An der Mauer ein Gedenkstein mit Namen von im 2. Weltkrieg umgekommenen Schülern und Ex-Schülern des Nieuwe Lyceum. Nicht weit hiervon entfernt ist ein Gedenkstein aus dem KZ Mauthausen. Zentral auf dem Alten Friedhof steht eine Totenlaterne, die von einem Hilversumer Begräbnisunternehmen anlässlich seines 100. Bestehens 1996 angeboten wurde.
- Jüdischer Friedhof, Vreelandseweg 1-3 Ecke Gijsbrecht van Amstelstraat. Seit 1937 befindet sich der jüdische Friedhof an dieser Stelle. Von 1751 bis 1937 war ein Friedhof an der Gooische Vaart, der 1937 geschlossen wurde.

Verschiedenes
- Zonnestraal, Loosdrechtse bos. Tel.: 31 (0)35 5385410. Landgut mit Sanatorium "Zonnestraal". Das Gelände, in dem Zonnestraal ("Sonnenstrahl") liegt, ist der südlichste Teil des Gooi. Einst ein Heidegebiet, das den Grafen von Holland gehörte und gepachtet war von den Erfgooiers. Eduard Emtinck aus Loosdrecht, der das Gebiet 1683 kaufte, ließ es aufforsten. Diesen Wald nannte man Emtincksbos, später Loosdrechtse Bos. Ende des 18. Jhs. wurde der Wald vollständig abgeholzt, 1800 wurde neuer Wald angepflanzt (zur Holzproduktion) und 1802 wurde eine Holzfällerhütte gebaut. 1911 wurde diese Hütte durch eine Försterei ersetzt, die auch als Lokal verwendet wurde. 1911 kaufte Frederik Smidt alles auf, um ein Landgut daraus zu machen. Er ließ eine Villa (Pampahoeve) bauen und dahinter einen Garten anlegen. Nach seinem Tod wurde das Landgut 1919 vom Sozialfonds der Diamantarbeiter (Stichting Diamantbewerkers Koperen Stelenfonds - KSF) Nieuwe Levenskracht ("Neue Lebenskraft") angekauft, um eine Arbeitskolonie für TBC-Kranke einzurichten. Der KSF konnte noch weiteres angrenzendes Gelände dazu kaufen. Das Geld sammelte der KSF durch das Sammeln der beim Schleifen der Diamanten verbrauchten Kupferstiele sowie dem Zurückgewinnen des beim Schleifen abfallenden Diamantpulvers. 1927 erhielt die Vereeniging Zonnestraal für das Gelände unbegrenzte Erbpacht. Am 12. Juni 1928 wurde das Sanatorium eröffnet. 1957 wurde das Sanatorium geschlossen und wurden die Gebäude als Krankenhaus in Gebrauch genommen. 1985 fusionierte Das Krankenhaus Zonnestraal mit den beiden anderen Krankenhäusern der Stadt zum Ziekenhuis Hilversum. 1993 wurde der Komplex verlassen, nur der Ter-Meulen-Pavillon wurde als Zorghotel (Pflegehotel) eingerichtet. Dieses wurde zum 1.1. 2009 hier geschlossen und zog um. Zwischen 1995 uns 2996 wurden alle Gebäude von Zonnestraal restauriert und in den Originalzustand zurückgebracht. Heute sind verschiedene Kliniken und ein psychogeriatrisches Zentrum hier untergebracht.Geöffnet: Führungen: letzter So im Monat, 12.00 und 14.00 Uhr. Dauer ca. 1½ Stunden. Start: Dienstbodenhuis de Koepel (ehem. Dienstbotenhaus/Besucherzentrum).Preis: Kosten: € 6,50 p.p.
