mr. H.J.J.M. van der Bruggen


Hein van der Bruggen studied civil and notarial law at Leiden University. Early in 1975, after having worked a number of years as a junior civil-law notary, he was admitted to the bar in Roermond and joined Van der Bruggen Advocaten, his father's law firm. When his father died in 1983, he continued the firm. In 1984 the firm merged with René van Boven’s firm. That is how Van Boven & Van der Bruggen Advocaten came into existence.

Hein is a board member of a few foundations which act as trust offices for shareholders in family firms. In addition he is vice-chair of the Central Limburg Tourist Information Foundation. History is one of his passions. As chair of the editorial board he prepares the annual publication of Mirror of Roermond, a historical yearbook for Roermond and Central Limburg. He is involved in the writing and preparation of a large number of historical publications and is chair of the Advisory Board of the Social Historical Centre for Limburg in Maastricht. In 2008 he received the Silver Carnation of the Prince Bernhard Culture Fund in recognition of his work for historiography and culture preservation.
