The 559th Volksgrenadier Division (German: 559. Volksgrenadier-Division) was a volksgrenadier division of the German Army during World War II that fought entirely on the Western Front.
After being formed, it was sent to fight the Allied advance from Paris to the Rhine in northeastern France, near Metz. The 559th later defended a section of the West Wall fortifications near Saarbrücken before fighting in the Saar–Palatinate region of southwest Germany. It was nearly destroyed in along the Rhine, and its remaining members surrendered in May 1945 in Württemberg.
