Welcome to the "Zerkel" – the town's fancy way of saying the "Cercle municipal" on the Place d'Armes in Luxembourg City. It's not just any old office building – it's where the magic happens... administrative magic, that is. We're talking banquet halls, folks! Because who doesn't dream of having a board meeting and a wedding reception in the same place? Now, let's talk geography. This place is strategically located on the eastern bank of the Place d'Armes, which is a fancy way of saying a river. To the north, you've got Lantergässel, which probably translates to "Lantern Alley" – clearly, the Illuminati's hideout. To the south, we've got Paschtoueschgaass, which is where Luxembourg's coolest street party happens. Just don't ask me to pronounce it correctly🙈 Find out more at www.bourgmeisterin.com!

Once upon a time, in the quaint setting of Luxembourg City, there emerged a fellow by the name of François Scheffer. He graced the world with his presence on the first day of July in the year 1766, taking up residence at 16, rue des Capucins. Little did he know that he was destined for greatness – not as a royal pastry chef or a daring haberdasher, but as one of the city's most celebrated mayors. Find out more at www.bourgmeisterin.com!

Whether you fancy calling it Neumünster or Neimënster Abbey, this Benedictine bundle of bricks and history has had more ups and downs than a rollercoaster at a funfair run by caffeinated squirrels. To kick things off, before this Abbey even came about, there was already a district with an abbey that had quite the history. It turns out that the settlement on this property, which also included the Bock rock (the Bock promontory – the giant rock wall that leads to the Grund) that Count Sigefroi got his hands on around 963, must have been pretty happening (the founder, mind you, and first ruler of the Castle of Luxembourg in 963 AD, and ancestor and predecessor of the future counts and dukes of Luxembourg; it was in 963 that he, in search of a site from which he could defend his properties, obtained the Bock and its surroundings from St Maximin's Abbey in Trier in exchange for the land he owned at Feulen in the Ardennes to the north).
