Oorlogsmonument


5595CJ Heeze-Leende

In Leende, eleven people were killed as a result of the war. Previously there was a memorial plaque for the war victims in the town hall of Leende. Instead of a memorial chapel, stained glass windows were installed in the town hall. During the renovation of the town hall in 1992, the commemorative plaque was moved, which was eventually placed on a memorial column on the market field in 1995. The large window will find a place in the new village hall and the small windows from the council chamber are in the custody of the municipality of Heeze-Leende.

The cornerstone of society in ancient and modern times are the churches and more often the small chapels that you can observe all over the smallest hamlet. Small monuments with a rich history.

De Riesten - Onderduikplek

Riesten
5595GP Heeze-Leende

In Leende, the so-called 'Dolinger Putten' were a well-known hiding place. In the area near De Riesten there were so-called dredging pits, where mainly young men hid to escape the Arbeidseinsatz. An outsider was unable to find his way in this almost impenetrable area. Moreover, there were also several ways out for the acquaintances. Due to betrayal of a few pro-German people from Leenden, the hideout was still set on fire by the Germans at the end of the occupation. Fortunately, there were no people in hiding at the time because they were busy with harvesting activities.
