Lommel: Grootste Duitse begraafplaats in Europa?

In Lommel vinden we de grootste Duitse begraafplaats buiten Duitsland terug in West-Europa. Er liggen meer dan 38.000 slachtoffers, voornamelijk van de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Toerist2290 staat even stil bij deze graven, aangezien de Duitse soldaten ook respect verdienen!

ROESELARE | BELGIUM Walking Tour 4k60fps 2021 مدينة رويسيلاري I بلجيكا

Roeselare (Belgium)
This industrial city in West Flanders came through a revival in the 19th century with the completion of the Roeselare-Leie Canal.

In the decades that followed, Roeselare would be described as the Manchester of Belgium, and has a port on the canal still bustling with activity.

In 1875 a young Albrecht Rodenbach, who later became an important poet, led a protest against the use of French in education at the city’s Klein Seminarie (minor seminary), spearheading the Flemish Groote Stooringe student revolt.

This was a big step in the “Dutchization” of Flemish secondary education.

The Peace Mill at Klerken WW1 Monument #32

Vlog#32 The Peace Mill at Klerken WW1 Monument

The Peace Mill (also Old mill, Van Couillie's mill or Afgeschoten mill) is a former windmill in the Belgian village of Klerken (Houthulst). The former wooden grain and oil mill is located at the highest point of the village (43 meters) and was therefore used by the Germans as a lookout post during the First World War. During the final offensive it was captured by the Allies, but the Germans had already left the mill via an underground passage. The mill is a rare example of a ruined mill and became a protected monument on April 1, 1999. On the same date it also got its official name Peace Mill.

The current hull of the stone windmill was preceded by a wooden post mill to store oil. It was established by a patent of 7 June 1766 to Jacobus Ferdinand de Necker from Klerken. On August 1, 1791, this Jacobus Ferdinand de Necker obtained the patent to also set up his oil windmill as a grain mill. The mill thus had a dual function: beating oil and grinding grain. To this end, the wooden mill cabinet was furnished with three attics.

In 1879 the new owner Louis Vandenbussche had the wooden post mill replaced by a stone tower mill with an iron gallery. This of course had a much larger production capacity. There was a ground floor (oil mill) and four attics (grain mill). In addition, a steam engine was placed in an outbuilding on the south side in 1880, so that work could now also be carried out in calm conditions. The outbuilding had a chimney. The current outbuilding on the east side is from just after the war (1920). In 1901 the oil installation was removed, as the oil mills had already lost their economic usefulness by then. The mill remained in operation as a grain mill until the outbreak of the First World War.

In 1914, neutral Belgium was swept up in a major conflict between the then superpowers France and Great Britain and a new emerging superpower, the Empire of Germany. On August 2, 1914, a German ultimatum was issued, requesting free passage through Belgian territory in order to prevent a French attack, so to speak. This ultimatum was unacceptable to Belgium. On August 4, the Germans invaded Belgium. There was a lot of fighting, but the odds were too great.

In the Westhoek it was terrifying to wait. The residents knew that the Germans were on the way. The first Germans, a group of so-called Uhlans (scouts on horseback) already reached the village of Esen on September 12, 1914. However, a witty appearance by Belgian soldiers ensured that these Uhlans chose the hare path already over Klerken-Smisse. It was only a reprieve. Refugees who fled towards the Yser brought ominous news. The Germans were advancing steadily. It concerned the 43rd Reserve Division. On October 20, 1914 most of the Klerkenaars fled en masse from the violence of war towards the Yser. The next day their village was occupied. In the following days, Klerken became the target of frequent artillery bombardments. Not a single house was left undamaged. Church and rectory were reduced to ruins.

The Klerken mill, built beyond the Smisse (the highest point in Klerken), remained intact despite all the shelling and was used by the Germans as a lookout. The excellent view from the mill, 43m above sea level, was very convenient for them. However, the mill burned out in 1917 after a projectile impact. The Germans had to build a new staircase in the mill.

On September 28, 1918, the long-awaited counter-offensive broke out. After heavy artillery bombardment, 14 Belgian divisions managed to break out between Ypres and Diksmuide. After heavy fighting, Klerken village was captured the same day by the 2nd, 22nd and 3rd Line Regiments, supported by the 1st and 13th artillery. However, the Germans were able to hold their own at the strategic height of the mill. It was decided the next day to make a new attempt to eliminate this machine gun nest. When the attack was launched in the morning of September 29, 1918, it turned out, to the great surprise of the Belgians, that no more resistance was offered. Fearful of a trap, the mill was stalked, but there were no more Germans to be seen. It turned out that the Germans had left the mill via an underground passage dug during the war, which led to a lower meadow, and had withdrawn to Flandern II stellung, which ran across Handzame, Hooglede and Roeselare. The entrance to this subterranean corridor is still visible in the outbuilding, but the corridor itself collapsed a few years ago.

After the armistice on 11 November 1918, the Klerkaars gradually returned and joined forces to rebuild their village, so that by 1922 almost all municipalities had been rebuilt.

After the war, the Klerken mill remained private and was not restored by the owners. He thus remained a lasting reminder of the devastation that the First World War had wrought in Klerken and the surrounding area.
