Crooswijk is a neighborhood of Rotterdam, Netherlands. Crooswijk lies between the districts Kralingen, Oude Noorden and Centrum. Crooswijk was once known for its Marines barracks. Many streets bear witness to a military history of the Marine Corps: Tamboerstraat, Pijperstraat, Schuttersveld, Excercitiestraat, Vaandrigstraat. Crooswijk also has an industrial past. Jamin, Heineken Brewery and many abattoirs were established there. These industries have given way to housing. On the Crooswijksesingel is only the monumental building of Heineken still standing. Crooswijk is one of the original people's neighborhoods of Rotterdam (unlike many other people's neighborhoods in the city, which originally were independent villages) and the district is strongly associated with the 'real' Rotterdammer. The Crooswijk is sometimes called: "The poorest part of the Netherlands", or: "The poorest part of Rotterdam". This is because the average income of the people living there is lower than other places. Crooswijkers sought and seek their recreation at the nearby Kralingse bos. Crooswijk has become a borough together with Kralingen. With around 52,000 inhabitants Kralingen-Crooswijk is a medium district.

St Hildegard's Church (Dutch: Sint-Hildegardiskerk) is a Roman Catholic church in the Oude Noorden (in Hillegersberg, before the boundary changes of 1904) in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The neo-Gothic cruciform church was built between 1890 and 1892 according to a design by the Rotterdam architect Evert Margry, one of the most important students of Pierre Cuyper. However, the church was completed by his brother Albert Margry and his colleague JM Snickers following his death in 1891. The church is dedicated to Saint Hildegard of Bingen. The original church consisted of the choir, a bay of the nave, and both transepts. Between 1904 and 1905, the church was enlarged by Margry and Snickers with a tower and four additional bays. The tower is quite similar to the tower of the Bonifatius Church in Zaandam from 1900.The parish of Saints Hildegardis and Antonius used the church independently until 2008, before merging with two other Rotterdam parishes into the new parish of Saints Franciscus and Clara. The new parish now only uses the Hildegardis Church: the Church of the Holy Redeemer and Saint Barbara and the Church of the Holy Family were disposed of in 2008.Together with the Sint-Lambertus Church in Kralingen, it is the last neo-Gothic church in Rotterdam still in use today. It is also a rijksmonument.
