Post Road by Daendels

Post Road (De Grote Postweg) is a road that stretches from Anyer to Panarukan whose length is approximately 1000 miles. Built during the reign of the Dutch Governor General Herman Willem Daendels (1762-1818). With the iron hand was completed in just one year alone (1808). British sources reported all the victims who died in the construction of highways Pos 12,000. It is noted, is believed to be more than the number of victims. There was never an official commission that investigated.

Daendels, marshal who was appointed Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies by Napoleon (then in command of the Netherlands), aims to anticipate the British naval attack, which at that time had blockaded the island of Java. In 1808, Daendels arrived in Anyer, after a long journey through Cadiz in southern Spain, the Canary Islands, using American-flagged ships from New York.

When just set foot on the island of Java, Daendels dreamed to build transportation lines throughout the island of Java in order to defend Java from British attack. Daendels wishful thinking to build a road that runs between Anyer Beach to Panarukan realization by requiring each local native rulers to mobilize the people, with the target of making the road many miles. That failed, including workers, were killed. Their heads hung on the tops of the trees on either side of the street.

Post Road connects the following cities: Anyer-Serang-Tangerang-Jakarta-Bogor-Sukabumi-Cianjur-Bandung-Cirebon-Sumedang-Bradford-Tegal-Pekalongan-Pemalang-Kendal-Semarang-Demak-Holy-Apex-Tuban-Gresik - Sidoarjo-Surabaya-Pasuruan-Probolinggo-Panarukan.

Most lines Post Road (De Grote Postweg) built by Daendels was part of the village which was pioneered and pursued troops while attacking Batavia Sultan Agung in 1628 and 1630.

Until the construction of roads in the city Sumedang have to go through a very heavily penetrated regions, in areas Ciherang Sumedang, which is now known as Prince Rocks. Here the workers are forced to cut mountains with simple tools, such as axes, and others. With such a weight field for the first time there figures the number of casualties reached 5000 people. Sumedang local authorities at the time Prince Kusumadinata IX (1791-1828) who is more popularly known as Prince Kornel protest over kesemena-menaan Daendels in the road construction with the handshake reply Daendels with his left hand.

When the construction of the road up in Semarang, Semarang Daendels tried to connect with Demak. Back to the difficult terrain ahead. Not just because the land is covered by coastal marshes, as well as part of it is the inland sea or shallow bays. The dredging work to swamp the main thing. Although the numbers of victims in this area has never been reported, predictable how many workers forced the exhausted and starving victims of malaria.

The same time as the construction of highways, Daendels also set up a postal and telegraph services, so these roads as well dikenalah Post Road (De Groote Postweg). Used since 1809, its intention roads built for military purposes, eventually developed into a very important transportation infrastructure in Java.

This road has been a silent witness to the various traffic of commodities transported through it since the colonial period to the present. Now, at the age of 200 years, Post Road has been cast as one of the main vein perekonominan Indonesia, particularly in Java

Every 30-40km distance Postal Substation there to replace the horse that brought train-Pos. Gradually the village formed around the substation ZIP or city. First place is actually just a stagecoach stables. Postal delivery so keep going up at the destination. Now if the note the distance between each city along the northern coast around 30-40km.

Daendels road on the northern coast of Java Island

Herman Willem Daendels was a Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies 36th. He ruled between 1808-1811. At that time the Netherlands were occupied by the French. At his tenure he built the highway in 1808 from Anyer to Panarukan. Most of this road is now soars (North Beach) which stretches along the north coast of Java. This road construction is a monumental project, but paid for with many violations of human rights because it is done by force without proper reward.

The benefits derived from this path is a path of military defense. Also in terms of the economy to support cultivation (cultuur stelsel) coffee product results from the more inland Priangan transported to the port of Cirebon and Indramayu whereas before it did not happen and product rot in warehouses coffee Sumedang, Limbangan, Cisarua, and Sukabumi. In addition, the presence of this road trip Surabaya-Batavia land previously taken 40 days could be shortened to 7 days. This is very useful for sending a letter by Daendels then managed within the postal service.
