History
The Theresiastraat is named after Queen Regent Emma, the second wife of King Willem III. Her first names were Adelheid Emma Wilhelmina Theresia. Her three other first names can be found in the names of several side streets of Theresiastraat.
The section from Laan van Nieuw Oost Indië to Prins Clauslaan consists largely of shops with houses above. In addition to retailers, a few supermarkets are also located here. On the other side of the intersection with the Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indië, the Theresiastraat consists, in addition to a number of shops, delicatessens, specialty shops and the library, for the most part of homes.
The Theresiastraat in The Hague was badly hit during the Allied bombing of Bezuidenhout. Only a few houses remained after the attack.
