The German Military Cemetery is the largest Western European cemetery from WWII. Here 39,111 German soldiers were given their final resting place. Walk along the endless rows of graves, discover their stories and reflect. You can strengthen your inner self afterwards in the brasserie with terrace: Hof Ten Vrede.

The cemetery was officially inaugurated on September 6, 1959. Before that, the soldiers who died in World War II had been buried by the American burial service in five collective cemeteries in the region. From 1946 the reburial of the fallen from the collective cemeteries to Lommel began. As a result, not only the former temporary collective cemeteries of Henri-Chapelle, Fosse, Overrepen and Neuville-en-Condroz were dissolved, but also the German military cemetery from World War I in Leopoldsburg with 542 dead. Of 13,000 unknown soldiers, 7,000 were subsequently identified. Over 30,000 people visit the cemetery every year.
