Schimmelarij (also: Schimmelerij[2]) is a hamlet in the Netherlands and is part of the Coevorden municipality in Drenthe.
Schimmelarij is not a statistical entity,[3] and the postal authorities have placed it under Holsloot.[4] It was first mentioned in 1867 as Schimmelderij, and means "belonging to the Schimmel family".[5] It was called Schimmelerij until a hay wagon destroyed the place name sign, and the municipality of Sleen replaced it with a "Schimmelarij" sign.[2] The hamlet consists of about 6 houses.[6]
