Lommel German war cemetery, German military cemetery in Lommel, Belgium.

The cemetery contains rows of uniform granite crosses marking the graves of 39,100 German soldiers across 16 acres of maintained grounds.

American forces established temporary burial sites during World War II before transferring German soldiers' remains to this permanent location in 1946.

The cemetery functions as an educational center where students from different nations participate in maintenance work and remembrance workshops.

Visitors can access the cemetery daily at Dodenveldstraat 30 in Lommel and obtain information at the on-site office.

A memorial stone from Brussels-Evere cemetery stands near a Ginkgo tree planted in 1995, connecting World War II memory with Hiroshima events.
