Crabs (Frisian Crab Burrs), formerly called Crabbure, is a neighborhood in the Frisian town of Kollumerland and Nieuwkruisland. It is located on the Olde Borchweg between Warfstermolen and Munnekezijl, northeast of the neighborhood De Kolk. The neighborhood is featured on maps from the 1960s.
The neighborhood consists of a row of houses on the south side of the road along the former old seaside dike around the former Lauwerszee island 't Oech. The origin of the name of the neighborhood is unknown. He can literally refer to crabs (possibly crabs near the dike); Metaphorically refer to "skew" ("as skew as a crab"); or is a blast of crib (dike reinforcement). Environment
North of Krabburen lies the polder Nieuwkruisland. To the east of the neighborhood is the farm Olde Borch, south of the farm Muncke Borch and north of the farm Nittershoek. The last name refers to the Nittershoek or Groote Hoek, where the seaside dike used to be a corner before before 1877, the dike between Nittershoek and Zoutkamp, which the Frisian Polder Wieringa and Groningse Nieuwe Ruigezandsterpolder conceived, made up the dike. The Nittershoek has since been named for the region north of Krabburen. To the east of the neighborhood, the Olde Dijk used to be an airwatch tower (airwind tower 7N3 Munnekezijl) and to the east there is the Krommekolk, a colon that originated in a dike break at the Allenheilige flood of 1570 or another water shortage. Another colder to the east of the Rust Rust mill was partially muted at the end of the 19th and partly early 20th centuries. Both columns appear for the first time on a 1689 card.
