Remich

Remich (Luxembourgish: Réimech [ˈʀəɪməɕ] ⓘ) is a commune with town status in south-eastern Luxembourg with a population of 4,101 inhabitants as of 2024[update].

Remich lies on the left bank of the river Moselle, which forms part of the border between Luxembourg and Germany.

[1] It received another royal visit on 28 May 1855 by his son, William III, who was accompanied by his brother, Prince Henry, the Governor of Luxembourg.

After its destruction in World War II it was replaced first with a wooden construction, then in 1958 with the bridge that still stands today.

[3] Remich annually holds a three-day-long celebration for Carnival (called Fuesend Karneval in Luxembourgish).

The first of these is the Stréimännchen, which is the burning of a male effigy from the Remich bridge that crosses the Moselle separating the Grand Duchy from Germany.
