Since 2011, Medernach has merged with Ermsdorf to become the "Aerenzdallgemeng" (commune Vallée de l'Ernz, Ernztalgemeinde).
The former commune consisted of the villages:
From 1987-2015 Medernach was home to an aerodrome (49.78890°N 6.24101°E / 49.78890; 6.24101 (Medernach Airfield))
There is a monument commemorating the defense of the town by American soldiers during the winter of 1944–1945 (49.80647°N 6.21357°E / 49.80647; 6.21357 (Medernach Airfield)).
The parish church, built in a neo-Romanesque style in 1806, has been a national monument since 2004. It houses the Baroque altar from the (now defunct) church of the Franciscan friars of Diekirch, dated 1712,[1] as well as a series of the Stations of the Cross.
Every year, the local produce exhibition is the first weekend of September.
