With the grand opening of the Knocke-Maldegem National Road in July 1936, the seaside resort moved closer to the city center. People no longer had to drive around Bruges by car. The car had become the means of transportation of the future. So let's build more and better roads. Mayor Desmidt also became a member of parliament, and invited the governor and ministers and guests to the opening of the new road. 1936 was a big year, with the inauguration of the Zoute bathing resort as well. But we have never seen a medal for it. Medals from Knokke Louis De Klerck was inaugurated as mayor of Knokke on Thursday, May 16, 1912 OLHH. This was accompanied by "grand celebrations." Several musicals were held, with "a magnificent procession formed by numerous carriages and groups." - Mayor De Klerck, along with councilors, other dignitaries and a priest, was the only person with a medal. Before the first war, medals were rather rare. Source: .zwinstreek.eu/geschiedenis/heemkundige-kringen/zoeken-in-publicaties/1210-knokke-medailles
