Lonely Planet review for Cimetière Militaire Allemand
Only planes taking off from nearby Luxembourg airport disturb the peace at the country's two main war cemeteries.
One of these, the Cimetière Militaire Allemand at Sandweiler is 1.5km east of the US Military Cemetery (it's signposted from here). No buses stop nearby, so you'll either need to walk or have your own wheels. Some 11,000 German soldiers lie beneath sombre grey headstones behind an oppressive stone doorway. Established in the 1950s, this cemetery was the first of its kind outside Germany. The caretaker who lives in the nearby house will probably show you around.
