In the Rijselstraat, the main street of Menen, the inhabitants of Menen first met the Germans on October 4, 1914. The first Uhlans arrived in the city.
During the occupation, there were both religious services for Catholics and Protestants in the church. After a Protestant service, the pastor went around the church with a swish and holy water vat to disinfect it.
