The street name 'Raaiberg' is a reference to a place of execution dating from the Middle Ages. The name 'Raaiberg' is a corruption of the word 'radberg', a hill or mountain on which a wheel was placed.
A wheel is mounted on a large, thick pole on which the condemned person is tied and 'radbraakt' (the breaking of all the bones) with a heavy bar, after which, after a painful death struggle, death follows.
