The German military cemetery Sandweiler houses 10,913 graves of German soldiers who fell mainly during the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944/45 in the Ardennes and the eastern border areas of Luxembourg. 4,829 soldiers are buried in the mass grave "Kameradengrab" under a large black native "Eifel" lava cross. Their names are cast on bronze plaques arranged in a circle around the central cross. The German cemetery in Sandweiler belongs to the German War Graves Commission and is in striking contrast to the nearby Luxembourg-American cemetery in terms of design and construction. A visit to both cemeteries is quite feasible in terms of distance (less than 2 kilometres) and time and is highly recommended.
