You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Echt''' (((IPA-nl|ɛxt|lang|nl-echt.ogg)); ((Lang-li|Ech)) ((IPA-li|ˈæx|))) is a city in the Dutch [[municipality]] of [[Echt-Susteren]] in the province of [[Limburg (Netherlands)|Limburg]], [[Netherlands]]. It was a municipality itself until it merged with the municipality of [[Susteren]] on 1 January 2003.

The municipality of Echt had about 19,300 inhabitants and an [[area]] of about 75,13 square km.

== History ==
[[File:RAL K 104 - Crop2.jpg|200px|thumb|Map of Echt by [[Jacob van Deventer (cartographer)|Jacob van Deventer]], c. 1550]]
[[File:Echt, Kuyper (Kuijper).jpg|200px|thumb|Echt in 1866]]
First recorded in the 7th century, Echt was a village, then within the [[County of Loon]]. Between 928 and 939 [[Gerberga of Saxony]] gave the estate of "Ettha" and its church to the [[Basilica of Saint Servatius|St Servatius]] community in [[Maastricht]].<ref name=":0">((Cite web|archive-date=2016-03-05|title=REGESTEN|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305112727/https://www.roermond.nl/organisatie/BS/Arch/docs/regesten/02.%20Regesten%20nr.%201%20nr%201282.pdf|access-date=2020-09-04|url=https://www.roermond.nl/organisatie/BS/Arch/docs/regesten/02.%20Regesten%20nr.%201%20nr%201282.pdf))</ref>

In 1075/1076 [[Gerard I, Count of Guelders|Gerard I]] of Guelders, received the estate of Echt on loan from [[Albert III, Count of Namur|Albert III]], Count of [[Namur]] and deputy duke of [[Lower Lotharingia|Lower Lorraine]].<ref name=":1">((Cite book|last=Alberts|title=Van heerlijkheid tot landsheerlijkheid|year=1978|pages=48–9))</ref><ref name=":0" /> However, a charter from [[Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor|Emperor Henry IV]] from 1087 gives a different picture of this donation: according to the Godschalk van Aken, Gerard I of Guelders is said to have illegally taken possession of the church of Echt ("Echta") ("invaserat"), while this belonged to the St. Servatius Chapter. By judgment of the imperial court of [[Aachen]] ("Aquisgrani") the church of Echt was returned to the Maastricht chapter.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0" />

The [[Alderman|aldermen]] of Echt, who had their own seal, are mentioned first on 29 June 1259. A source from 1590 shows Echt as a "Minderstädteof" (small town) within the States of Upper Guelders.<ref>((Cite journal|last=Schaïk|first=R.W.M. van|date=1989-01-01|title=S. Frankewitz, G. Venner, De zegels der steden en dorpen in het Overkwartier van Gelder. Die Siegel der Städte und Dörfer im geldrischen Oberquartier 1250-1798|journal=BMGN: Low Countries Historical Review|volume=104|issue=3|pages=419|doi=10.18352/bmgn-lchr.3119|doi-access=free|issn=2211-2898))</ref> Small towns were legally and economically less privileged than large cities such as [[Roermond]].<ref>((Cite book|last=Alberts|title=Van heerlijkheid tot landsheerlijkheid|year=1978|pages=65–66))</ref> Nevertheless, it had a [[Defensive wall|wall with gates]], a hospital and [[cloth hall]]. A city [[moat]] was constructed after the second half of the 13th century. In May 1397, during a war between Brabant and Gelderland, the people of [[Liège]] destroyed the fortified town. In 1473 the city was conquered by [[Charles the Bold]], while in 1497 [[Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor|Maximilian I]] took its castle. However, the city was recaptured by Guelders shortly thereafter. In 1556, during the [[Eighty Years' War]], it was looted by mercenaries in the Spanish army. It then changed occupiers several times and suffered waves of destruction. Of the old fortifications only the canals were left by the end of the war.

After significant depopulation caused by wars and plagues, Echt was usually considered to be a village. Only after 1630 was it again consistently referred to as [[city]], even by its own aldermen.

At the [[Treaty of Utrecht]], ending the [[War of the Spanish Succession]] in 1713, Echt became part of the [[Dutch Republic|United Provinces]] together with [[Venlo]] and [[Montfort (Limburg)|Montfort]]. In 1795 Guelders was finally conquered and incorporated by the [[French First Republic]], and partitioned between the départements of [[Roer (department)|Roer]] and [[Meuse-Inférieure]]
