The polyglot club of Luxembourg celebrates its twentiest anniversary

Tréier [ˈtʀəɪ̯ɐ]), formerly known in English as Treves (French: Trèves, IPA: [tʁɛv]) and Triers (see also names in other languages), is a city in Germany on the banks of the Moselle. Trier lies in a valley between low vine-covered hills of red sandstone in the west of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, near the border with Luxembourg and within the important Moselle wine region. The German philosopher and one of the founders of Marxism, Karl Marx was born in the city in 1818.

Luxembourg is a small country in land area. It was one of the first countries in the European Union. It is also a member of the Benelux. The countries next to Luxembourg are Belgium, Germany, and France. In 2015, its population was 569,700, making it one of Europe's most densely populated countries.

Luxembourg City is a charming combination of ancient and modern, local and global, simplicity and luxury. This lovely city offers an intriguing blend of history, culture, art and natural landscapes. With many of the European Union offices and departments hosted in Luxembourg City, there is a real multicultural perspective to this city.

"Früher kamen die Leute vor allem zum Tanken und Einkaufen nach Luxemburg", sagt Mirjam Petry. Mittlerweile habe sich das kleine Land zu einem Kurzurlaubsziel gemausert. Wandern im Müllerthal oder in den Luxemburger Ardennen ist da nur eine Möglichkeit. Vor allem lockt die Vielfalt: landschaftlich, sprachlich, kulturell, kulinarisch - und das auf sehr überschaubarem Raum.
