Flemish  Schaarbeek 

      municipality, Brussels-Capital Region, central Belgium. A village until 1795, it is now an industrial suburb northeast of Brussels and one of the 19 municipalities that make up Greater Brussels. A rail junction with switch and freight yards, it has an electric power station and manufactures clothing, chemicals, and machinery. The conspicuous domed Church of Sainte-Marie (1845–53) is built in the Romanesque-Byzantine style, and the town hall (1885–87) is of an old Flemish design. Significant immigration, particularly from North Africa and Turkey, has made Schaerbeek one of the most culturally diverse municipalities in the Greater Brussels area. Pop. (2007 est.) mun., 113,493.
