note 82
As a church it was used by the ‘Vrije Gemeente’, a Christian community which was inspired by the Enlightenment. Evidence of the way this community experienced and practiced their religion are the figures that were portrayed on the traditional religious stained glass windows: Socrates, Marcus Aurelius, Moses, Christ, Augustine, Dante, Thomas a Kempis, Catharina van Siena, Juliana nvan Stolberg, M. Huldrices Zlinglius, Martin Luther, Spinoza, Kant, Lessing, Goethe, Ralph W. Emerson, A.D. Loman, After the church was left empty it served for a while as a carpet-store. Then it was empty again after which it was squatted in 1968 and almost immediately established a reputation as one of the venues in which the ideas and culture of the sixties materialized.
