Ettelbruck

Ettelbruck is a municipality and administrative hub in central Luxembourg located where several rivers converge. The town serves as a regional center with key public facilities and services for the surrounding area.

The town was first liberated by American forces on September 11, 1944, then reoccupied during the Battle of the Bulge. These two events remain central to how the place remembers its past.

The Patton Memorial Museum here tells the story of occupation and liberation through its collections. The museum helps visitors understand how this place holds importance for the nation's wartime memory.

The location is central and easy to reach for visitors exploring the northern region. Its position where rivers meet makes it a natural hub for getting around the area.

The national anthem was performed publicly here for the first time in 1864. This cultural moment linked the town forever to an important milestone in national identity.
