Trintange

Trintange (Luxembourgish: Trënteng, German: Trintingen) is a small town in the commune of Bous-Waldbredimus, in south-eastern Luxembourg.

[2] In 1680 under the orders of the French King, the Metz Chamber of Reunion demanded that the Duchy of Luxembourg cede all territories that had belonged at any point to lands surrendered to France since 1648.

[2] However, several villages that did belong to the priory and were not claimed by France, were also destroyed, around 33 localities including Trintange, Ersange and Roedt.

[2] Trintange contains the "Klaus" chapel on the "Klausberg",[3] also known as the Stephansberg or "St Stephen's hill" (Luxembourgish: Stiewesbierg; French: Mont-St-Étienne).

[5] Indicators that this was a parish church, rather than just a chapel, include the size of the original building, and the fact that it was evidently rebuilt several times.

In August 1792 the Prussian main army on their campaign against France set up their headquarters on the Moutfort plateau and plain and at Pleitrange; they did the same during their later retreat.
