Stratumseind, Catharina Church, Philips Museum, Park Theater, Effenaar, Witte Dame: these are all household names in Eindhoven. And now every student who was not raised in or near Eindhoven is familiar with them, too. Still hungover from the days before (mostly nights, probably), the groups strolled through the city, guided by the Intro App that led the students past 25 highlights.
 
At one of these spots, the Intro people were expected to halt for a little longer than a couple of seconds (sitting down was fine, too, or laying out in the sun), and listen to one of five city guides. They told about Eindhoven being granted city rights by Duke Hendrik I already in the thirteenth century. He wanted a proper settlement in the no man’s land between Den Bosch and Hasselt. They told about Gerard Philips who was looking for women to lend a helping hand in his new factory, and about Theo Maassen, who is said to have mentioned something about train coming from Amsterdam once. An Eindhoven crash course in twenty minutes.
