The NRE Site: A Documentary Journey

What do we really know about this remarkable place in the heart of Eindhoven? Once a municipal supplier of gas, light, and water, the NRE has a rich and diverse history as a creative incubator. The film team from 'Eindhoven in Beeld' spent two years creating a documentary about the NRE. This documentary showcases the rise of industry around the Eindhoven Canal, featuring personal stories from former employees. It also discusses soil contamination and the restructuring efforts by the municipality, alongside the experiences of current residents and entrepreneurs. In this way, a multifaceted portrait emerges of a place that continually reinvents itself and plays a unique role in the city today.
