The Siege of Groningen (1672) led by the bishop of Münster, Bernhard von Galen during the Third Anglo-Dutch War failed and the city walls resisted an event that is celebrated annually with music and fireworks on 28 August as " Gronings Ontzet" or " Bommen Berend". During the same period the city expanded rapidly and a new city wall was built. The University of Groningen was founded in 1614 with initial course offerings in law, medicine, theology and philosophy. After the siege, the city and the province joined the Dutch Republic. The city was captured in the Siege of Groningen (1594) by the Dutch and English forces led by Maurice of Nassau. In 1536, Groningen accepted Emperor Charles V, the King of Spain and the Habsburg ruler of the other Netherlands as its ruler, thus ending the region's autonomy. During these years the Martinitoren was built which is considered to be the city's most significant landmark. The most influential period of the city was at the end of the 15th century, when the nearby province of Friesland was administered from Groningen. The city had a strong influence on its surrounding lands and the Gronings dialect became a common tongue.
In the 13th century Groningen was an important trade centre and its inhabitants built a city wall to underline its authority. The Dutch sometimes refer to it as "the Metropolis of the North", or Martinistad (after the Martinitoren tower.) History Regionally, it is often simply referred to as Stad (the "city"), and its inhabitants are referred to as Stadjers or Stadjeder. In Groningen province, it is called Groot Loug. ĭuring the French occupation of the area, Groningen was called Groningue. Another theory is that the name was derived from the word groenighe, meaning 'green fields'. One modern theory is that 'Groningen' meant 'among the people of Groni' ('Groningi' and 'Groninga' in the 11th century), derived from Gronesbeke, which was the old name for a small lake near the Hunze (on the northern border of Zuidlaarderveen). A folk origin story relates the idea that, in 453 BC, exiles from Troy who were guided by a mythical figure called Gruno (or Grunius, Gryns or Grunus), along with a group of Phrygians from Germany, founded a settlement in what is now Groningen, and built a castle on the bank of the Hunze, which they called 'Grunoburg', and which was later destroyed by the Vikings. The origin and meaning of 'Groningen' and its older variant, 'Groeningen', are uncertain. Students comprise an estimated 25% of its total population and makes it the country's demographically youngest city. Today Groningen is a university city, home to some of the country's leading higher education institutes University of Groningen ( Rijksuniversiteit Groningen), which is the Netherlands's second oldest university, and Hanze University of Applied Sciences ( Hanzehogeschool Groningen). At the height of its power in the 15th century, Groningen could be considered an independent city-state and it remained autonomous until the French era. As a Hanseatic city, it was part of the North German trade network, but later it mainly became a regional market centre. Due to its relatively isolated location from the then successive Dutch centres of power ( Utrecht, The Hague, Brussels), Groningen was historically reliant on itself and nearby regions. Groningen was established more than 950 years ago and gained city rights in 1245. The capital of the north, Groningen is the largest place as well as the economic and cultural centre of the northern part of the country as of December 2021, it had 235,287 inhabitants, making it the sixth largest city/municipality of the Netherlands and the second largest outside the Randstad.
