Commission
The Olieslaan Commission has taken the initiative to add the oil-pressing craft to the Intangible Heritage of the Netherlands inventory. The Olieslaan Committee consists of the Woldzigt oil and flour mill, the Eerbeekse Oliemolen and Noordmolen Twickel. This initiative has been developed into a complete description of the oil-mining craft and added to the inventory.
After the credit has been added, you cannot sit back and then remain in the inventory forever. Part of the description is an assurance plan with improvement and action points to continue to preserve the craft for the future. The progress and implementation of this is monitored by Intangible Heritage Netherlands.
The implementation and progress of the assurance actions is coordinated by the Olieslaan Commission.
- Olie- en korenmolen Woldzigt – Marjan Schetsberg
- Eerbeekse oliemolen – Herman Heskamp
- Noordmolen Twickel – Jan Gröneveld
To date, Oliemolens.nl has been based on voluntary cooperation between those involved and is not organized on the basis of a foundation. If there is a need for this or if this becomes necessary, this will still be done.
