Jørgen Arboe-Rasmussen (5 March 1925 – 5 or 6 February 1945) was a member of the Danish resistance killed by the German occupying power.
On 5 February 1945 Arboe-Rasmussen was gunned down in Café Brønnum near Kongens Nytorv. He was brought to the German medical clinic at Nyelandsvej where he died of his wounds the same day.[1]
On 29 August 1945 Arboe-Rasmussen 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]
A memorial plaque at August Bournonvilles Passage 1 commemorates his sacrifice for Denmark.[1]
Every year on 5 February the Danish Union of Journalists awards the memorial grant Jørgen Arboe Rasmussens Mindelegat to a journalist trainee at a provincial newspaper.[3]
