Oosterdok
The Oosterdok is a water in Amsterdam. It originated in 1832 when by the construction of the Oosterdoksdam this part of the IJ was separated and therefore no ebb and flow was known in the then still in open connection with the Zuiderzee standing IJ.
On the east side, the enclosed water surface was created, now called Oosterdok. On the west side the Westerdok was created in a similar way.

The south bank of the IJ with the later Prins Hendrikkade came to lie behind the later station building due to the construction of the railway in 1874. For the construction of the Central Station, an Oosterdok emergency station for the then opened Oosterspoorweg to Hilversum was built on the Oosterdokseiland in 1874. In 1889 the Central Station was opened. Since then, the railway line forms the northern boundary of the Oosterdok.

The Oosterdok has known many developments. In the sixties of the 20th century the IJtunnel was constructed, of which the tunnel bin stretches far into the Oosterdok. The Oosterdokseiland, which used to be mainly a railway yard, was built on the south side in the 1960s with the new Hoofdpostkantoor. In 1997, built on the foundations of the IJ Tunnel, the science center NEMO was opened.

A large part of the PTT's former headquarters was demolished in 2005 on Oosterdokseiland. The Stedelijk Museum temporarily housed the tower that was maintained for several years, the main location of which was renovated at the Paulus Potterstraat. In July 2007 the new Public Library Amsterdam opened. The construction of the Conservatory of Amsterdam has now been completed (opening in 2008). The remaining main building of the post was eventually demolished in 2010. There will also be a Chinese business center, offices and houses.
