Enschede or Eanske in the local dialect (Twents) is a municipality and a city in the eastern Netherlands, in the province of Overijssel, in the Twente region. The municipality of Enschede consisted of the city of Enschede until 1935, when the rural municipality of Lonneker, which completely enclosed the city, was annexed after the rapid industrial expansion of Enschede, which had begun in the 1860s and involved the building of railways and the digging of the Twentekanaal.

  • Enschede or Eanske, in the local dialect (Twents); I remember the 'Twente University'. 'We attended, a meeting, during 1989, about our Country, INDIA;' like Dutch would say it.
  • Enschede, Hometown of FC Twente! Number 1, Dutch football-league
