  • A Day in Luxembourg, LUXEMBOURG
    A Day in Luxembourg, LUXEMBOURG Why you should visit Luxembourg Luxembourg is the epitome of “the charming European city” we all grew up imagining. It’s amazingly cosmopolitan but not overwhelming, except for its extremely complex history. Its gorges traverse the city, making it a spectacular three-dimensional city, with lit-up fortifications along the walls of the gorges -- perfect for the historian and the romantic. And the food is a lovely mix of French, German, Italian and of course Luxembourgish. Three things you might be surprised to learn about Luxembourg and the people 1. Luxembourg is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its old quarters and fortifications. 2. General George Patton is buried here 3. Villeroy & Boch ceramics started in Luxembourg Favorite Walks/areas of town Go to the visitors center in Place Guillaume to sign up for any of the many fantastic—and reasonably priced—group or individual walking, biking or driving (even in your own car) historic tours with an official guide. The tours can include visits to: • Historic city center • The Petrusse gorge next to the city center • The historic Grund, down below the city center • Clausen, near the Grund • Petrusse and Bock Casemates Other very good things to do/see • American Military Cemetery, Hamm: A beautiful cemetery with more than 5,000 soldiers, most of whom fell in the Battle of the Bulge of WWII in 1944-45. The cemetery also has an impressive chapel and is the burial place of General George Patton. www.abmc.gov/cemeteries/cemeteries/lx.php • German Military Cemetery, Sandweiler: A short drive from the Hamm cemetery, this cemetery has a much more somber feel to it, containing more than 10,000 German soldiers who perished in the Battle of the Bulge in 1944-45.

  • The Eventful Life of the Canton of Vianden
    The eventful life of the canton of Vianden by Georges EICHER, www.luxroots.com, June 2020 Below is the map of the Duchy of Luxembourg prior to 1659 with the later 3 divisions: 1659: Peace of the Pyrenees, the southern part is ceded to France. 1815: Congress of Vienna, the eastern part to Prussia (later Germany). 1839: the western part to Belgium Von Furfur - Own work, inspired by tickets of Luxembourg, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=82616224 After the annexation of our country by France in 1794, the former Duchy of Luxembourg formed part of the French Republic and later the French Empire as a département of the Forêts (Forests Department). The Department of Forests was divided into 4 arrondissements (Luxembourg, Diekirch, Bitburg and Neufchâteau), 27 cantons and 383 communes. Learn more at wikipedia: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forêts_(département) One of these 27 cantons was Vianden with the following communes: - On the eastern part, which was ceded up from 1815 by decision of the Congress of Vienna to Prussia (later Germany): the former municipalities of Geichlingen, Körperich, Kruchten, Nusbaum, Roth, and Wallendorf, (which today all belong to the municipality of Südeifel). - In the West, the municipalities of that time: Consthum, Fouhren, Hosingen, Hoscheid, Landscheid, and Stolzembourg. As already mentioned above, the municipalities of the eastern part were ceded to Prussia in 1815, including the village of Keppeshausen, which until then belonged to the municipality of Stolzembourg. In 1823/24, large municipal mergers took place throughout the country, including in the canton of Vianden: - The municipality of Landscheid is affiliated to the municipality of Hoscheid.
