During the fighting in Belgium and Germany (mainly at Aachen and Düren) the Americans buried the German dead provisionally on 4 temporary cemeteries from which the dead were later brought over to Lommel. Thousands of German soldiers who have died on Belgian soil found here their last resting place in Lommel

The cemetery lies next to the N746, the way from Lommel to Leopoldburg.
