Can somebody explain where the three different Luxembourgs are located?










7















I was putting destination in kayak and came to know that there are three different Luxembourgs. According to kayak it is as below -



  1. Luxembourg - This is apparently the country with orage-white-blue shaded flag.

  2. Another Luxembourg is Luxembourg, Belgium

  3. The last one is Luxembourg, Mosel, Europe.

I am guessing these are 3 different places. I am looking for the one which is supposed to be near Schengen area, where the European agreement was signed. Does anybody have a clue which one is it?

    That's interesting, but how much research did you do before asking this question? Wikipedia has a page listing all the places called Luxembourg and linking to articles with more information about them.

There are a few things called Luxembourg and that might create some confusion:



  1. A small country located at the corner between Belgium, France, and Germany. The color of the flag is more red than orange. It was ruled by the house of orange between 1815 and 1890 and the shape of the flag inspired by that of the Netherlands but I don't think it ever included orange.

  2. The capital of this country, sometimes called “Luxembourg City” or “Luxembourg-Ville” (also the name of the main train station I think).

  3. The Belgian Province de Luxembourg, a region of Belgium located just next to the country named in point 1.

Now, Schengen is a village on the Luxembourgish side of the border tri-point between Luxembourg, France, and Germany. The agreement itself was signed on a riverboat, so as to symbolically be “on the border” without knowing exactly in which country (although for legal purpose, it's considered to be Schengen and Luxembourg is the depositary of the original treaty). The boat, called “Princesse Marie-Astrid”, still does cruises on the Moselle river.



Finally, Schengen is very small, I don't think the area around it was ever known as “Schengen area” in any of the local languages. What's now called “Schengen area” is typically the whole 20+ country strong border-free area.

  • The flag definitely never included orange. It's "Red, White and Light Blue" (as opposed the the flag of the Netherlands which uses Dark Blue). See also Wikipedia There is also one with a two-tailed clearly irritated red lion, which some people want to make the new national flag whenever they feel strong for the country or discussion has to be diverted from particularly smelly political crud.
