History
In the 19th century, Polsbroekerdam boasted two religious communities. At the start of the century, farmer Dirk Schenkel housed members of the Zwavelstokkengeloof, later called the Zwijndrechtse nieuwlichters.[1] At the end of the century, farmer Teunis Hogendoorn housed members of a group surrounding Jannetje Hootsen from Veenendaal[2] who were called Zwartjannetjes.
Notable people
Writer Herman de Man (1898-1946) lived in Polsbroekerdam[3] between 1902 and 1906 and wrote about the Zwartjannetjes amongst others.
