Panel 1 - Laan van de Helende Meesters
The name of this street was chosen in 1967 during the construction of the current Ziekenhuis Amstelland (Amstelland Hospital). Due to the growing population, Amstelveen felt the need for its own hospital around 1960. Since then, many healthcare institutions have been established around this street. Ten years after its opening, it merged with the Centrale Israëlitische Ziekenverpleging (CIZ) from Amsterdam. This Jewish hospital, founded in 1911, had become too large after the war. The current Ziekenhuis Amstelland still has a Jewish character with a synagogue and kosher meals.

Langerhuize Farm
The Laan van Langerhuize (Langerhuize Lane) recalls the agricultural past of this area. In the Bovenkerkerpolder, many farms once stood. One of them was Langerhuize Farm. There had been a farm here since 1771, named 'Al doende leert men' (Learning by Doing). It was demolished in 1934 and replaced with new construction. With the construction of the hospital, the farm came under pressure. It served as a canteen for some time but was demolished when the hospital expanded.
