Hermann Møller Boye (5 July 1913 – 12 June 1944) was a member of the Danish resistance executed by the German occupying power.
Biography[]
Boye was born 5 July 1913 in Marstal to shipmaster Herman Møller Boye and wife Maren née Rasmussen[2] and baptized Herman Møller Boye in Marstal's church on the ninth Sunday after Trinity the same year.[1]
In 1935 Boye graduated as a teacher from Nørre Nissum Seminarium and from that year he was a teacher until 1944.[4]
On June 12, 1944 Boye was executed in Ryvangen[2][3] by the Gestapo.[4]
After his death[]
After the liberation Boye's remains were exhumed at Ryvangen and transferred to the Department of Forensic Medicine of the university of Copenhagen.[2]
On 29 August 1945 Boye and 105 other victims of the occupation were given a state funeral in the memorial park founded at the execution and burial site in Ryvangen where his remains had been recovered. Bishop Hans Fuglsang-Damgaard led the service with participation from the royal family, the government and representatives of the resistance movement.[2][5]
A memorial plaque at Nørre Nissum Seminarium where he graduated as a teacher commemorates his sacrifice for Denmark.[4]
