The fallen resistance people in Limburg

Frans Maurits Marie van Lamsweerde (Mauk “Frans”)

Mauk van Lamsweerde was director of the Roermond branch of the Rotterdamsche Bank. Member of the resistance under the pseudonym Frans. With his own funds, the baron provided housing for escaped prisoners of war. [1]
Cammaert: On January 20, 1945, German paratroopers stopped the former head of cabinet of the Queen’s Commissioner in Limburg, R.A.Ch. van den Boorn, near Maasbracht, as well as the branch manager of the Rotterdamsche Bank in Roermond, Baron F.M.M. van Lamsweerde, both from Roermond. They wanted to get through the lines into the liberated area. Van Lamsweerde had with him ƒ 60,000,- for skippers in Maasbracht. The money was taken from him. Matthaeas had them both shot on the spot. [2]

The web site wo2slachtoffers.nl/ goes into more detail about why Van Lamsweerde had so much money with him:The Germans had announced that the evacuation of Roermond would begin on Sunday, January 21, 1945. The director was faced with the question of how to secure the bank’s liquid assets. He decided to give some of it to an employee who would go with the evacuees. He himself wanted to take a sum of 60,000 guilders to the shipper Van Avezaath, where the bank had a branch for payments, mainly to skippers. On the way, he was told that Van Avezaath had already been evacuated to Sint Joost. [1]
See about the reign of terror of Major Matthaeas and his paratroopers: The Tears of Roermond.
Both bodies were recovered in Maasbracht on November 17, 1947. [3#4]
He was buried in the Heilig Landstichting cemetery, Groesbeek, graftuin (grave garden) 19. [3#4][5]
The sources agree that Mauk van Lamsweerde was a member of the resistance, but there is no mention of which resistance group. The housing of escaped prisoners of war had to take place mainly at the beginning of the war, so he was probably involved early on. As Cammaert mentions him in his chapter on the L.O., he is also placed in this category here.
Frans Maurits Marie ( Mauk “Frans” ) van Lamsweerde is listed in the Erelijst 1940-1945 (Honor Roll of the Dutch Parliament). [4]
