Paul Windhausenweg

Paul Windhausen, a drawing teacher at the OLV lyceum, led a resistance group that maintained a radio post on the De Vloeiweide estate. The group was located in the forester's house of the Neefs family. Three weeks before the end of the war, the house was raided by the Germans. When Windhausen went outside to request safe passage for Mrs Neefs and the children, he was shot dead. The Germans set the house on fire, resulting in the death of mother Neefs and three of the eight children.

During the raid, seven resistance fighters and five German soldiers were killed. Eight surviving resistance fighters were executed the next day on the Ginnekense shooting heath.

Windhausen was posthumously awarded the 'Bronze Lion', and in May 1945, the Verlengde Koninginnestraat was renamed the Paul Windhausenweg.
