Английская Википедия:Breedeweg
Breedeweg is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is located in the municipality of Berg en Dal, about 1 km south of Groesbeek.[1]
It was first mentioned in 1899 as Breedeweg, and means "wide road".[2] The St. Antonius Church was built in 1934, and destroyed in 1944 during Operation Market Garden. In 1949, the church was rebuilt, and a monument has been erected for the dead allied soldiers and the two civilians who were killed by a grenade while cleaning up the debris.[3]
Breedeweg and Groesbeek have been expanding, and are now close to one-another. In the late 2010s, the municipality changed the place name sign to "Groesbeek Breedeweg". Nevertheless, it is still a separate village and not annexed.[3]
