Deventer is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands.[4] The place is mentioned in 9th-century sources from the Diocese of Utrecht. A charter from 877 AD mentions seven farmsteads in Daventre portu[5] (the Deventer harbor). In 952 AD, Deventer is mentioned as a city in a gift certificate from King Otto I.[6] After the place had acquired more and more rights and privileges over time, it received the municipal lands from Emperor Henry V in 1123. This is considered by historians to be the moment of Deventer obtaining the city rights by the inhabitants.[7] The city has the oldest stone house, the oldest walking park and with the Athenaeum library also the oldest scientific library in the Netherlands.
