Berlage zaal (1.9 on floorplan)

The Berlage zaal was originally used by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry as a meeting room. Around 1904, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry took up an increasingly more important role in the Dutch economy and as such it was given its own room in the Beurs van Berlage where they could gather. The Chamber of Commerce acted as supervisor of regional commerce and industry. The Berlage zaal was the crown in Berlage’s work. The stained-glass windows depicting various personifications of planets, was designed by Antoon Derkinderen.
