Striene

Striene

De 'Striene was a water channel that ran between the Schelde near Tholen and the Maas rivers in Zeeland in the Netherlands. In the Sint-Elisabethsvloed (1421) the watercourses in the Maas and Rhine delta were drastically changed, and the Striene disappeared.

Probably the place names Strijen, Cromstrijen, and Strijenham on Tholen are diverted from Striene. Also the name Strienestad used for Steenbergen in Noord-Brabant during the Carnival, refers to the Striene.
