Editing Vriend Era (section)

== Background ==

The Vriend Era began after the breakdown of the older Middenvader framework. In 1959, the [[Schroeter family]] split following the second [[Middenvader Commissie]], and [[Schroeter Traktoren]] was dissolved. From 1960 onward, large-scale intra-family armed conflict declined, while family organization, documentation, cultural activity, and external conflicts became more important.

Unlike the [[Vader Era]] and [[Middenvader Era]], the Vriend Era is centered on the long-term association between [[Angelo Noord]], [[Martin Paap]], [[Imro van Hetten]], [[Eef Hoos]], and [[Lourens Schroeter]], together with the wider political and military events that occurred during their lifetime.
