Lasauvage
Lasauvage ( lb, Zowaasch) ( German: — notionally only — Rohrbach) is a small town in the commune of Differdange, in south-western Luxembourg. Lasauvage was known as one of the few French-speaking towns in an otherwise Luxembourgish-speaking country. Unlike many German alternatives to place names in Luxembourg, Lasauvage's German equivalent, Rohrbach, has been little-used because of its perceived Nazi associations. Shortly before the Second World War, there were plans drawn up by the Luxembourg government for Grand Duchess Charlotte to reside in Lasauvage, given its proximity to France, which would enable her to escape over the border easily, but they did not come to fruition. Population As of March 31, 2020, the town has a population of 449. Name The place name goes back to a legend of a wild woman, who is supposed to have only eaten raw meat and who lived under a rocky promontory, where she was buried by a landslide. It is assumed that the valley was not inhabite ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Towns In Luxembourg
There are twelve towns in Luxembourg, as defined by statute. Despite the status as towns, they are not all contiguous urbanised areas. They are similar to communes, but have been given a separate legal status. There is a technical difference between the status of commune and towns, but this is limited in practicality. One difference is that '' échevins'' in towns are formally appointed by the Grand Duke, whereas ''échevins'' for other communes are appointed by the Minister for the Interior. Terminology The officially used terms for a town in the sense of this article are ''Stad'' (plural ''Stied'') in Luxembourgish, ''Stadt'' (plural ''Städte'') in German, and ''ville'' (plural ''villes'') in French. All of these terms may be translated as either "town" or "city". However, apart from the capital, Luxembourg, and Esch-sur-Alzette, most of the places have none of the qualities that would award them the status of a "city" according to English usage.

Steel Industry In Luxembourg
In the industrial sector, the Luxembourg steel industry continues to occupy the first place in the country, even after the industrial reforms which have taken place since the 1960s. History Early development Iron was already worked and processed by the Celts in the region of modern-day Luxembourg. Archeological remains of this have been found on the ''Gläicht'' between Esch-Alzette and Rumelange. In 2003-2005, the remains of a smelting plant from the 13th or 14th century were found and excavated in the ''Genoeserbusch'' near Peppange. In the pre-industrial period (17th-18th centuries), there were a number of furnaces throughout the country, located near rivers (for water power) or forests (where charcoal was produced). "Bohnerz" ("bean ore") was used. The furnaces only employed a small number of permanent, specialised workers, estimated at about 700 in the late 18th century. This early industry involved another 8,000-10,000 workers on a seasonal basis: road workers, carriers, lum ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
