De Perponcherstraat 103 'T Sunneke.
This residential street was built from 1890 onwards. His name is reminiscent of Count Henry the Perponcher who lived from 1771 to 1856. He was general of the second Dutch Division that helped Napoleon defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
In 1959, qualified nurse Miep Dommisse-Nijveldt started her nursing home ‘t Sunneke 2.
Behind number 103 she renovated five houses (99-107). She organized patient nursing with reactivation and rehabilitation of one hundred elderly patients for whom there was no room at home and in the hospital.
The doctors van der Meer-van Manen and Cools laid the foundation for geriatric medicine.
From 1977 onwards, however, this street became too tight for the improvement of Sunneke2, which eventually moved elsewhere in 1997.
Subsequently De Perponcherstraat 103 became a residential group for former addicts to learn to live in a residential street again. They came from the Emiliehoeve and Triple-Ex from the psychiatric center Bloemendaal.
At the end of 1999, this residential group became part of Brijder (Parnassia) which, until 2018, helped many clients in a job and living space for a further life without addiction.
In 2018 this residential group has moved elsewhere. Residential apartments are established.
In the past sixty years, this classic residential street has contributed a lot to nursing, recovery and resocialisation of the sick.
