This is Diekirch in Luxembourg !!!

Once again looking back into my vault found me older paper pictures that should be in my blog, after all, this is my life’s history ! This is on my road warrior trails in Luxembourg, favorite spot for us, We passed rather quickly by Diekirch , a nice town and we took a peek at one quant monument that is the reason of this post, Again, I take this opportunity to offer me and you this new post. Therefore, here is my take on this is Diekirch in Luxembourg !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I. Diekirch is a city in Luxembourg and the chief town of the canton with the same name. Located between the Lux City, Ösling and Little Switzerland areas , and on the left bank bank of the Sûre river. Diekirch is best known for his old church and for the brewery bearing the same name. However, it has the peculiar notoraity of its donkeys ! This animal is everywhere, recalling the essentially agricultural past of the region, when the donkey was alone capable of helping the work of the fields on the steep hills surrounding the city, then participating in the wealth of the City, The city is crossed by national roads N7, N14 and N27. We love the ride on the N7 which have taken past Ettelbruck (see post) The city’s mascot is the donkey. There is a donkey fountain in the centre of Diekirch, which is the one we passed by see pic. At the Bedigen Park, also called the donkey park, you will meet the sympathetic and emblematic animal of the city. In Diekirch, there are 4 bridges : the Sûre-bridge, built in 1842 and rehabilitated in 2016, Pedestrian bridge and trail for canoeists, built in 2015, Pedestrian bridge, built in 1975 and another Pedestrian bridge, built in 2005. Diekirch donkey fountain Some other things to see here, me think , are the National Museum of Military History reflecting Diekirch’s pivotal role in the Battle of the Bulge, a major battle of World War II. It was here that the river Sauer was crossed on the night of January 18, 1945, by the US 5th Infantry division. As the National Conservatory of Historical Vehicles. In the same building Wagner Garage the very first importer of the Mercedes-Benz brand as the latter is also the Diekirch brasserie museum. A few hundred meters, the History Museum brings us to revive eras through themes such as religions, education, industry or even ecology, The City is home to a brewery of national importance carrying the town’s name. A bit of history tell us that the city received its name, according to old sources, when  Charlemagne  in the late 8C resettled Saxons, in order to bring them under his control. One of the centers of these settlements was in the area of Diekirch. In order to convert the pagan Saxons to Christianity, a church was built, which gave the settlement its name: “Diet-Kirch” or people’s church, The City of Diekirch on its heritage : https://diekirch.lu/fr/commune-de-diekirch/que-faire/tourisme-decouvrir-diekirch The Diekirch tourist office on the meaning of the donkey : https://www.visit-diekirch.lu/en/diekirch/the-donkey-our-mascot The Diekirch tourist office on its heritage : https://www.visit-diekirch.lu/en/culture-leisure/art-culture The Luxembourg tourist office on Diekirch : https://www.visitluxembourg.com/place/tourist-info-diekirch There you go folks, a nice ride to be able to see some unusual spots in my nostalgic Luxembourg, you will love quant Diekirch.
