Albrecht Rodenbach was one of the famous Roeselare inhabitants.
Statue at De Coninckplein, made by Jules Lagae and in 1909 unveiled at a three day Flemish party.
At 28 juli 1875 there was a student protest "de Groote Stooringe" , it was a protest against the use of french in education. Albrecht Rodenbach was one of the leaders of the protest. Students refused to sing french siongs at the year party at school, but sang "Nu het lied der Vlaamse zonen" (the song of the flemish sons) by Rodenbach. The famous "Vliegt de blauwvoet, storm op zee" (when the bluefooth flies, there is storm at sea) was the battleline.
Rodenbach promoted the Flemish language and founded student unions. He was also a writer of poetry,prose and theatre.
He died at the young age of 24 and became even more famous as a studentleader.
Fata Morgana is a television show on the Flemish television (VRT).
During the summer period, each week a village or city is challenged by a Well-known Flemish person to fulfil 5 missions.
So the last week of June the Fata Morgana team landed in Roeselare.
The 5 missions were all about the Tour de France theme:
- wax the legs of 500 men
- Dress up more then 5000 people with a polka dots jersey (best climber jersey)
- 10 cyclists must return from the top of the Mont Ventoux in France and must arrive in Roeselare during the show
- Decorate a track of 1000 m (1 km) in red, white and blue
- build a scale model (1:4) of the Arc de Triomph (Paris)
4 out of the 5 missions were completed, only the Arc de Triomph was not completely finished.
Like this Roeselare got the title of a 4-Star city.
But now the week after the show they still completed the Arc de Triomph, and it really looks nice. It stays at the Botermarkt till after the festivities of July 11th. Great atmosphere at the Grote Markt
The name Rodenbach is connected to Roeselare. The Rodenbach family was very influencial. Some of its members went into politics and two brothers founded the Rodenbach brewery.
The Rodenbach beer is the beer to drink when in Roeselare. The brewery still stands in Roeselare, but can not be visited in weekends and during the week you have to bring at least 14 friends.....
But if you have that many friends the brewery is located in the Spanjstraat 131-141. You have to make reservations, call the phonenumber below.
