The bombing of Terherne lock
The bombing of Terherne lock
On 11 November 1944, pilots of the Royal Canadian Air Force, based at Welschap airfield near Eindhoven, were ordered to bomb the lock at Terherne in two groups. The reason for the bombardment of Terherne lock was to restrict (German) transport movements. The lock complex was situated on the main shipping route from Germany via Groningen to the Randstad, along which the Germans transported goods and military equipment.
After the railway strike in September had already disrupted rail transport considerably, actions against shipping traffic followed in the months thereafter. The southern part of the country may have been liberated, but fierce battles were still to be fought in the other parts.
Such was the case on that 11th November just after nine o'clock in the morning when the two groups of Hawker Typhoon fighter-bombers took off shortly after each other from Eindhoven for their mission. Around 10:00, the lock at Terherne was bombed from the north for the first time and then again around 10:30.
The consequences were huge for the people living on the lock. The wives of both lock keepers, a one-year-old baby and a German soldier were killed. Also, pilot John Gordon Fraser's aircraft was damaged to such extent that he had to make an emergency landing at St. Johannesga. Although the bombing resulted in the northern passageway being deactivated and no longer usable, the southern passageway remained open and could still be used.
Today, a boathouse for the State yacht of the province of Friesland has been built over the southern passage. A new building, that serves as a guest house for the province, was put up on the site of the lock keeper's house on the south side.
A monument has been erected on the northern pier in memory of those who perished at the lock. This monument was unveiled on 10 November 1985 by Hattum Hoekstra, son of 1st lock keeper Wiemer and Tietje Hoekstra. Since then, the commemoration of the dead in Terherne has always taken place at the old lock, and the children of primary school 'It Kampke' have adopted the monument.

Yn de hjoeddeistige tiid is dit in drok knooppunt yn Terherne. In fernauwing yn de grutte ferkearsdyk fan it doarp. Dus sjoch goed om dy hinne en bliuw op’e stoepe en pas op foar auto’s en fytsers. Hjir oan de oare kant stiet it Skippershûs.
It Skippershûs draacht de namme sûnt in oantal jierren wer yn alle grutskens. ’t Schippershuis hyt sa omdat dit plak eartiids in oanlizplak wie foar skippers. It wie in dranklokaaltsje en in wachtlokaal fan beurtskippers. Dit punt yn it doarp wie in knooppunt, wêr’t alle farrûtes by elkoar kamen. Sjoch mar om dy hinne. Fanút Ljouwert, Snits, It Hearrefean, en De Gerdyk.
Rûn 1900 waard it ek in hotel. Dat wie de tiid dat de Rypkema’s ek dit horekabedriuw yn eigendom hiene. Dina Rypkema koe hearlik itensierde. It wie ek de tiid dat de earste toeristen yn Terherne delstrutsen. It wie redelik eksklusyf en der waard dan ek sprutsen fan “útsûnderlik en bedoarne wettersporters”, dy’t hjir kamen te iten. Yn dizze tiid hiet it noch café Rijpkema. Dizze namme bleau oant de twadde wrâldkriich en it is hieltyd mear útwreide.We geane fierder en we geane hjir links ôf de Stripe op.
Yn dizze strjitte doch ik wer in berop op dy. Do moast dy wer eefkes skrep sette om dy yn te libjen. Ik meitsje in sprong yn de tiid mei dy.We binne yn 1886
Do bist hjir no midden yn it nije ekonomyske swiertepunt fan Terherne. We rinne troch dizze drokke winkelstrjitte tusken de skippers, hun froulju en de hannelslju troch. De wenten oan de rjochterkant binne bedriuwen en winkels, dy’t bydrage oan de skipfeart. Hjkir fynst alle hannel foar boeren en skippers: fan mêst-, blok-, en pompmakker oant fouraazjehanneler.Tusken de winkels en de bedriuwen sjochtst in pear rintenierswenten, bygelyks op nûmer 6 en 7. We rinne rêstich fierder nei it ein fan de strjitrte, nei de helling fan Leemburg. Hier fynst it folgjende pealtsje.
