Schifflange (French pronunciation: [ʃiflɑ̃ʒ]; Luxembourgish: Schëffleng, pronounced [ˈʃəfleŋ] ⓘ, German: Schifflingen, pronounced [ˈʃɪflɪŋən]) is a commune and town in south-western Luxembourg.
[1] Schifflange was formed on 15 August 1876, when it was detached from the commune of Esch-sur-Alzette.
In the 1980s the plant was converted to the continuous casting of blooms, then in the 1990s an electric furnace installed.
[5] The site is due to be converted into a large mixed-use neighbourhood with housing for 10,000 residents, served by the planned Luxembourg-Esch-sur-Alzette light rail.
