context_page_description: Schinkelbuurt is a little neighborhood of Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is located directly south of Amsterdam's city centre and it is part of the borough Amsterdam-Zuid, in the part of the city known as the Old South.
  Schinkelbuurt is roughly bounded by the water of the Schinkel river and the street Amstelveenseweg. Most of the houses date back to the beginning of the 20th Century and the streets often have names from the shipping industry, such as Schinkelhavenstraat, Sluisstraat, Zeilstraat, Vaartstraat and Baarsstraat. Schinkelbuurt neighbors Vondelpark and Rembrandtpark.
context_section_description: The Schinkel is a small channeled river in Amsterdam. The river runs from the Overtoomse Sluis to Nieuwe Meer. In 1413, as an extension of the Schinkel, the Kostverlorenvaart was dug in the direction of the IJ bay. In 1875, a connection was made with the IJ via the canals Kattensloot, Singelgracht and the Westerkanaal, creating a waterway between Nieuwe Meer and the IJ.
  The Schinkel was channeled as part of the Plan Zuid from 1917, developed by Dutch architect and city planner Hednrick Petrus Berlage. However, the water north of the Schinkel lock is still identified as a river.
  A houseboat village is located near the lock, comprising a large concentration of houseboats. In the first half of the 20th Century, there was a wooden pool, in the river, called the Schinkelbad. The Schinkel is still used for freight transport by water, a function that the city canals have lost. Many leisure yachts also use this connection to pass between the Ring canal (Dutch: Ringvaart) at Haarlemmermeer and the IJ, which is part of the Standing Mast route (dutch: Staande Mastroute).
  Some bridges cross the Schinkel: the Theophile de Bockbrug (bridge no. 360), the Zeilbrug (bridge no. 348) and the Schinkelbrug (bridge no. 176P).
