Sights

Gezin De Koning

14
5591VD Heeze-Leende

During the war years, far from civilization, there was a farm here where the De Koning family lived at the time. Organized resistance in the Netherlands only really started around 1943. Due to its remote location, the farm was an ideal place for people in hiding. In the night of June 12, 1943, the farm was searched for the first time by the Germans and some Dutch policemen. They then found two people in hiding and the radio that had not been returned. Father Jacob de Koning was taken, but miraculously he was allowed to return home after a few days. The resistance group Het Huisven must also have arisen during that time. In particular, four sons and their brother-in-law Aart van Heijst were active in this group, as well as other young men from the area. The members were mainly involved in raiding distribution offices and rendering the population registers of some municipalities unusable.

Burgemeester Jonkheer mr. Theodore Willem Serraris

22
5591EM Heeze-Leende

The young mayor, esquire, mr. Theodore Willem Serraris, remained at his post after the occupation by the Germans, like many other mayors. He had no easy task, because he also had to cooperate with the orders of the occupier. It was known that the mayor was certainly not a friend of the Germans and that he opposed them wherever possible. For example, he tried to keep many young men out of the so-called Arbeitseinsatz or labor camps. The local leader of the NSB in particular had anticipated him and the man did everything he could to take the place of the mayor. Serraris, along with a number of other mayors, was captured and fired on July 8, 1944. He was deported to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where he died just before the end of the war.

Gebroeders De Koningstraat

18
5591ER Heeze-Leende

In memory of the De Koning brothers, this street was named after them.

IJskelder

Boschlaan
5591HJ Heeze-Leende

After the liberation, Allied soldiers camped in the woods behind the ice house and the castle. Here and there you can still find carvings from that time in trees and beech trees in particular. The long supply lines from Normandy? for soldiers, fuel, ammunition, material etc. and the resistance of the occupier made it necessary to go into bivouac. Many trees were felled in the forests that were necessary to be able to pass through the wet and swampy Peel.

Waschven

Waschven
