The three districts of Luxembourg are the top-level administrative divisions of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The districts are further subdivided into cantons:
- Diekirch District
- Diekirch
- Clervaux
- Redange
- Vianden
- Wiltz
- Grevenmacher District
- Grevenmacher
- Echternach
- Remich
- Luxembourg District
- Luxembourg
- Capellen
- Esch-sur-Alzette
- Mersch
The cantons were created on 24 February 1843. In 1857, Mersch District was created from the cantons of Mersch and Redange. However, this fourth district was abolished in 1867, when the re-arrangements of ten years previously were undone.
Famous quotes containing the word districts:
“Cities need old buildings so badly it is probably impossible for vigorous streets and districts to grow without them.... for really new ideas of any kind—no matter how ultimately profitable or otherwise successful some of them might prove to be—there is no leeway for such chancy trial, error and experimentation in the high-overhead economy of new construction. Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
