Palingoproer information


Eel pulling

The Palingoproer or the Eel riot was a popular uprising in the Jordaan in Amsterdam on 25 and 26 July 1886. The riots started when the police tried to thwart playing the forbidden game of eel pulling on the Lindengracht.[1] In the uproar that followed, 26 people were killed. Social historians place the events in a context of social tensions as a result of increasing socio-economic differences in 19th-century Amsterdam society.
