context_page_description: De Baarsjes is a district in Amsterdam, Netherlands. From 1990 to 2010, De Baarsjes was a borough of Amsterdam, until it was merged into the new borough of Amsterdam-West.
  Built during the first half of the 20th century along a tram line that brought commuters to the city centre, De Baarsjes was formulated by the architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage who designed the main square Mercatorplein. As it was mostly built before World War II, it was all built to last so when it came to urban renewal in the 1990s, most buildings were renovated and not razed to the ground. Facades were cleaned, suspicious bars and bordellos were closed and ambitious plans to deal with crime and safety were undertaken. Today, De Baarsjes is a community-oriented Amsterdam neighbourhood.
  The borough contained the neighborhoods of:
  Admiralenbuurt
  Chassébuurt
  Trompbuurt
