Luxembourg District

The district was the second largest in Luxembourg and had the most people living in it.

It bordered the district of Grevenmacher to the east, the district of Diekirch to the north, the Belgian province of Luxembourg (Wallonia) to the west and the French Département of Moselle (Grand Est) to the south.

When the districts were created on 24 February 1843, Luxembourg was one of the three of the country.

[citation needed] On 30 May 1857, the Mersch canton was taken from the Luxembourg district to made part of the new district of Mersch.

[citation needed] After the reorganization of Luxembourg's administrative divisions in 2015, all three districts were abolished per 3 October 2015.
