The making of Ten Katemarkt
Ten Kate first worked as an office clerk but transitioned to the Hague literary company in 1834, where he met Ottho Gerhard Heldring. The philanthropist/preacher was impressed by Ten Kate’s poetry compositions and helped him further his literary studies, leading to his graduation in theology from the University of Utrecht.
The man was, perhaps, better known for his rhyming talents and poem, 'The Creation', which tried to convey the importance of both religious and scientific ideas. The decision to name Ten Katemarkt after the skilled poet/preacher was made by the council on October 30th, 1890 and the market began trading in 1912.
