Districts of Luxembourg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Former subdivisions of Luxembourg
The three districts of Luxembourg (French: district [distʁikt] i ; German: Distrikt [dɪsˈtʁɪkt] i ; Luxembourgish: Distrikt)[a] were the top-level administrative divisions of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The districts were further subdivided into cantons, which still exist:
The cantons were created on 24 February 1843.[1] In 1857, Mersch District was created from the cantons of Mersch and Redange.[2] However, this fourth district was abolished in 1867, when the re-arrangements of 1857 were undone.[3]
The districts were abolished on 3 October 2015 leaving the cantons, of which there are 12, as the most senior local authorities of Luxembourg.[4] [5]
