Ville d'Esch-sur-Alzette

About Ville d'Esch-sur-Alzette

With over 36,000 inhabitants, the City of Esch-sur-Alzette is the second largest city in the Grand Duchy. A university city located in the heart of the greater region, Esch is home to over 120 different nationalities. It is precisely this diversity that is part of the City of Esch's DNA. Severely marked by the decline of the steel industry, Esch has redefined itself to become a city where life is good. Public and private investments bear witness to this dynamism, and national institutions such as the University and the Maison de la Grande Région further highlight Esch's future role. The Belval district, a flagship project of the last ten years, is an exemplary testament to the reconversion towards a service-oriented city.
