Klingerberg is a district of 121 hectares in Blerick, a district of Venlo. The population of the district was 4360 in 2003, of which 2200 were men and 2160 were women. This number has decreased over the years to 4270 inhabitants in 2006 (2140 men and 2130 women). Klingerberg contains 1655 households. In the northwest side of Blerick was a system of old Meuse arms. Part of this is the Egerbosbeek valley. This valley originally contained fields (the lower Maasveld). These fields were used as arable land, the stream valley as pasture. The Klingerberg district is now located on that spot. Due to the construction of this district, nothing can be seen of it anymore. The Klingerberg district was built in the 1980s and 1990s in the northwest of Blerick. The 30 km road Klingerbergsingel is the longest street and also the main road. The district is named after the hill in the park on the edge of the district. The hill is located in the Maashofpark. A wide piece of greenery that runs around the klingerberg and ends in the Wassumpark. Apart from the Klingerbergsingel, all streets in built-up areas are named after shrubs and trees. The district is still enclosed by the A73, N556 (Eindhovenseweg), Mulkenshofweg and Henriette Roland Holstlaan. (with the exception of 1st phase Klingerberg, which is located on the other side of the Henriette Roland Holstlaan).
