    City of Luxembourg: its Old Quarters and Fortifications

    Brief Description

    Because of its strategic position, Luxembourg was, from the 16th century until 1867, when its walls were dismantled,

    one of Europe's greatest fortified sites. It was repeatedly reinforced as it passed from one great European power to

    another: the Holy Roman Emperors, the House of Burgundy, the Habsburgs, the French and Spanish kings, and

    finally the Prussians. Until their partial demolition, the fortifications were a fine example of military architecture

    spanning several centuries.

    Long Description

    Because of its strategic position, Luxembourg was, from the 16th century until

    1867 when its walls were dismantled, one of Europe's greatest fortified sites. It was

    repeatedly reinforced as it passed from one great European power to another: the

    Holy Roman Emperors, House of Burgundy, Habsburgs, French and Spanish

    kings, and finally the Prussians. Until their partial demolition, the fortifications

    were a fine example of military architecture spanning several centuries.The City of Luxembourg is located at the crossing point of two major Roman roads. In 963 Sigefroid, a count from the

    Moselle valley, built a castle on the Rocher du Bock, which he obtained by means of an exchange with the Abbey of

    St Maximin of Trier. His servants and soldiers settled around the castle and the modern town sprang from the market -

    place of this settlement, the Vieux March.

    The town had grown to such an extent that a second defensive wall was built around the end of the 12th century, to

    be superseded in the 15th century when a third line of defences was built. By the 16th century, Luxembourg had

    become a strategic and military prize. The House of Burgundy, the Habsburgs, the French and Spanish kings or the

    Holy Roman Emperors all wanted Luxembourg. Throughout this period the defences were continuously extended and

    improved, making it into a fortress that earned the title 'Gibraltar of the North'. With the signature of the Treaty of

    London in 1867, the European powers confirmed the perpetual neutrality of the Grand Duchy and, in consequence,

    the evacuation of the fortress within three months and the demolition of the fortifications. This turned a grim fortress

    of some 180 ha into an open city.

    The old quarter of the City of Luxembourg extends westwards from the Bock promontory, where the first ducal family

    established itself. The Rocher du Bock is a honeycomb of 17th- and 18th-century casemates, the largest survivingensemble of underground fortifications. Also of importance is the bridge joining the Bock to the upper town, the

    Church of Saint-Michel, originating from the 10th century. The latter-day March-aux-Poissons was the main market

    in the Middle Ages and the first open space in the town. The present Grand Ducal Palace stands on the site of the

    first maison communale built in 1244 and of the Htel de Ville. The Rue Wiltheim, which leads down to Pfaffenthal,

    follows the route of the Roman road to Trier.

    The governmental quarter and Notre-Dame Cathedral: the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Luxembourg is the former

    church of the Jesuit College upon which work began in 1613; it was consecrated in 1621. It is an outstanding

    example of Netherlands late Gothic architecture, with a Renaissance portal and rood-screen. Alongside the cathedral

    is the Prsidence du Gouvernement, known today as the Maison de Bourgogne. It belonged until 1676 to the

    Berbourg family, traditional cup-bearers to the ducal house. Its brick staircase towers illustrate the transition from the

    Gothic to the Renaissance style. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Rue Notre-Dame was built in 1751 in

    characteristic Louis XV style.

    The lower town of Grund and the Plateau du Rham: archaeological excavations have shown that the Grund and

    Rham areas were settled for some six centuries before Count Sigefroid took possession of the Bock promontory in

    963. The Wenceslas Wall formed part of the third defensive circuit built in the late 14th century. It underwent a

    number of modifications and strengthenings as artillery improved.

    The Grund sluice was built by the Austrians in 1731; it consists of a massive masonry dam with vaulted openings that

    could be closed to prevent water passing through them. Much of the lock was dismantled in 1878, but its remains are

    still impressive, and also provide a magnificent panorama of the city. The Hospital Saint-Jean was founded in 1308;

    in 1543 a Benedictine community was established there, to become known as the Neuminster.

    Historical DescriptionThe City of Luxembourg is located at the crossing point of two major Roman roads. In 963 Sigefroid, a count from the

    Moselle valley, built a castle on the Rocher du Bock, which he obtained by means of an exchange with the Abbey of

    St Maxirnin of Trier. His servants and soldiers settled around the castle and the modern town sprang from the market-

    place of this settlement, the Vieux Marche. Settlers were recorded as early as 926 in the Alzette valley, near the

    castle, and their houses formed the nuclei of the later lower towns of Grund and Pfaffenthal.

    The town had grown to such an extent that a second defensive waU was built aronnd the end of the 12th century, but

    this, too, was superseded in the 15th century when a third line of defences was built, enclosing the lower town of

    Grund as well.

    By the 16th century, Luxembourg with its fortifications had become a strategic and military prize. The House of

    Burgundy, the Habsburgs, the French and Spanish kings, or the Holy Roman Emperors - all wanted Luxembourg. It

    was this reason that the city remained within the confines of its fortifications until 1867. Life there was harsh and the

    inhabitants resented having soldiers billeted upon them.

    Throughout this period the defences of Luxembourg were continually extended and improved, making it into a

    fortress that earned the title of the "Gibraltar of the North". This was a dubious distinction, since it brought the city into

    most of Europe's wars from the 16th to the 18th centuries. Four main stages can be identified:

    1. 17th century (especially 1671-84): enlargement of the defences by the Spanish, who built several new redoubts

    (Peter, Marie, Berlaimont), and construction of the first barracks inside the city.

    2. 1684-97: large-scale rebuilding of the fortifications under the direction of Vauban following the successful siege of

    1684 by the French. Pfaffenthal was included within the defences and large barracks were built on the Rham and

    Saint-Esprit plateaux. The Saint-Esprit monastery was transferred to Pfaffenthal.

    3. 18th century: continued development of the fortress by the Austrians (from 1715). The engineer de Beam%

    prepared an ambitious plan designed to make Luxembourg a key element in the defence of the Austrian Netherlands.

    This work, which lasted over forty years, involved the construction of new forts around the city (eg those of Thtigenand Olisy) and systems of casematesli nked by underground tunnels.

    4. 19th century: the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg joined the German Confederation after the Congress of Vienna and

    the federal fortress of Luxembourg was garrisoned by the Prussian Army from 1815 to 1867. The Prussians carried

    out major renovation work from 1826 onwards (eg at Fort Thtingen, where the surviving remains, known as Les Trois

    Glands, date from this period) and also added new elements, such as Fort Wedell, built to protect the railway station,

    which was built at around this time.

    With the signature of the Treaty of London in 1867 the European powers confirmed the perpetual neutrality of the

    Grand Duchy and, in consequence, the evacuation of the fortress within three months and the demolition of the

    fortifications. This brought to an end a long evolution over nine centuries and turned a grim fortress of some 180 ha

    into an open city. Dismantlement of more than 24 km of underground defences and some 40,000 m2 of casemates,

    batteries, barracks, and the like lasted sixteen years and cost over 1.5 million gold francs. Some elements survive,

    such as twelve of the 28 gates and a number of redoubts and forts.

    Archaeology

    Mosaique de Vichten

    Luxembourg has a number of archaeological sites dating from the Palaeolithic to Merovingian epochs.

    Some have been opened to visitors. The immense archaeological site (oppidumof the Treviri) on the

    Titelberg in the south of the country is accessible on foot. Reconstructed Roman funeral monuments are

    scattered throughout the east of the country. The great Roman villa in Echternach provides the setting for

    an information centre on life during the Gallo-Roman period. Some parts, including a theatre for 3,500

    spectators of the Roman vicus Ricciacus, situated within the territory of the Dalheim town council, can be

    visited at certain times of the year. A copy of the Vichten mosaic dating from the 3rd century, which

    depicts over a surface of 60 m2

    Homer surrounded by the nine muses, was installed in the reception area

    of the town hall.

    Today the MNHA houses treasures such as the Hellange ceremonial helmet and the Vichten Gallo-

    Roman mosaic, which has become the main showpiece of the renovated museum, reopened in

    2002.

    The curators of the MNHA have made tremendous efforts to display the results of the excavations

    through reconstructions of habitations of the Neolithic and Bronze Age. The reconstitution of aristocratic

    Celtic funeral chambers of Iron Age, and the exhibition of the trevire nobility funeral furniture, dating from

    Germany - features solid growth, low inflation, and low unemployment. The industrialsector, initially dominated by steel, has become increasingly diversified to include

    chemicals, rubber, and other products. Growth in the financial sector, which now accountsfor about 28% of GDP, has more than compensated for the decline in steel. Most banksare foreign-owned and have extensive foreign dealings. Agriculture is based on smallfamily-owned farms. The economy depends on foreign and cross-border workers for morethan 30% of its labor force.
