Auderghem (former Dutch spelling, now used in French; pronounced (:odəʁˈɡem)) or Oudergem () is one of the nineteen municipalities located in the Brussels-Capital Region of Belgium. Located to the southeast of the capital, along the Woluwe valley and at the entrance to the Sonian Forest (''Forêt de Soignes'', ''Zoniënwoud''), the municipality has an environmental advantage. Despite large roads slicing through and the increasing traffic, it has been able to preserve a relatively important part of its natural and historic legacy: the creeks, the Abbey of ''Rouge-Cloître'' or ''Rood Klooster'' (Red Cloister) and its art center, the Priory of ''Val Duchesse'' or ''Hertoginnedal'' (Duchess Dale), the Château of ''Trois Fontaines'' or ''Drie Fonteinen'' (Three Fountains), and the remarkable Chapel of Saint Anne. Auderghem is adjacent to the municipalities of Etterbeek, Ixelles - Elsene, Woluwe-Saint-Pierre - Sint-Pieters-Woluwe, and Watermael-Boitsfort - Watermaal-Bosvoorde. The municipality is governed by its 16th mayor, Didier Gosuin (FDF). == History == Three forest villages (Auderghem, Watermael, and Boitsfort-Bosvoorde), were one for centuries. In 1794, the soldiers of the French Revolution decided to separate these into three distinct municipalities. In 1811, Napoleon decided to reunite the three villages, by imperial decree, into a single administrative entity. But Auderghem was withdrawn from this union by royal act, leaving Watermael-Boitsfort on its own. Thus, Auderghem became an independent municipality in 1863, with only 1,600 inhabitants. With the construction of the rail line linking Brussels and Tervuren as well as, in 1910, the construction of the ''Boulevard du Souverain'' or ''Vorstlaan'', modernization came to the municipality and the population grew quickly. In 1956, Paul Henri Spaak lead the Intergovernmental Conference on the Common Market and Euratom at the Val Duchesse castle in Auderghem, which prepared the Treaties of Rome in 1957 and the foundation of the European Economic Community and Euratom in 1958. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Auderghem」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
