The Story of Harlingen
Starting location: Harlingen City Hall
In 1847, Harlingen was facing dire straits. The potato harvest had failed, food prices were skyrocketing, and more and more families were struggling to make ends meet. While the residents were starving, ships loaded with food lay in the harbor, ready to set sail for other destinations. Anger among the population grew by the day and eventually focused on one man: Mayor Jetze Rodenhuis.
When a large crowd storms City Hall, panic breaks out. Jetze hides in a closet and hears angry residents rampaging through the building, breaking down doors, and shouting his name through the hallways. Only when things quiet down does he dare to leave his hiding place. He knows he has only one chance left: to escape Harlingen unseen through the city’s secret exit. But the residents are far from having forgotten him...
