Diekirch

Diekirch sits between the hills of Haardt, Goldknapp, Seitert, and Herrenberg, with the Sûre river flowing through its central area at 396 meters elevation.

The settlement's name originates from the late 8th century when Charlemagne moved Saxon populations to this location for their conversion to Christianity.

The National Museum of Military History presents life-size displays and over 100,000 military items depicting soldier experiences during World War II.

The municipality provides residents with three secondary schools, healthcare facilities, social services, and efficient public transportation connections.

The municipality features Luxembourg's first pedestrian zone in its center, where donkey statues appear at street corners as symbols of local identity.
