Sandweiler German war cemetery

The Sandweiler German war cemetery is a World War II cemetery in Sandweiler, in southern Luxembourg. It contains the graves of 10,913 German servicemen from the Battle of the Bulge in winter 1944 and spring 1945. Of these, 5,599 were buried by the American war graves service during the war; American casualties were buried at the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial about away in Hamm.〔(Sandweiler booklet, German War Graves Commission )〕
After the war, following an agreement reached in 1952 between the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Federal Republic of Germany, 5,286 servicemen were moved to Sandweiler from 150 different cemeteries throughout Luxembourg.〔 They had mostly lain in mass graves for which only incomplete records were available and the German War Graves Commission (''Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge'') set about identifying as many as possible.〔 As a result, 4,014 of the 4,829 in the communal ''comrades' graves'' are now identified and listed.
Planning for the cemetery began in May 1952, and it was inaugurated on 5 June 1955, ten years after the end of the war.〔 The ceremonial opening took place in the presence of more than 2,000 relatives of the dead, whom the ''Volksbund'' had brought to Sandweiler in special trains.〔 With them came also delegations of school children from every German federal state.〔
In 2005, a special ceremony attended by civil and military representatives from Luxembourg and Germany as well as members of youth groups, took place to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of the cemetery.
The last remains interred were those of an unknown German soldier discovered in the forests of Schumann's Eck near Wiltz in the fall of 2007.
