    The Needle is a defining monument in Apeldoorn. Apeldoorn owes the Needle to its close bond with the House of Orange and especially with Queen Wilhelmina. Soon after she announced her engagement to Prince Hendrik, mayor H.P.J. Tutein Nolthenius proposed to give the couple an Apeldoorn gift. The Needle became the wedding gift and also a tribute to Wilhelmina's parents King Willem III and Queen Regent Emma.
