EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Timeless Glimpse of Luxembourg City's Grund and the Alzette River Bridge (circa 1910) 2.. This photograph, taken circa 1910, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Luxembourg City's picturesque Grund district and the iconic bridge over the Alzette River. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the charm and beauty that has endured for over a century. Nestled in the heart of the Old Luxembourg City, the Grund is a historic quarter renowned for its steep, winding streets, quaint houses, and the stunning Alzette River. In this photograph, the river's gentle flow is framed by the ancient stone bridge, which has remained a vital part of the city's infrastructure for centuries. The bridge, with its distinctive wheel sluice gates and weir, played a crucial role in the city's defense and economic prosperity. The wheel sluices were used to control the water level and flow of the Alzette River, ensuring the city's fortifications remained functional and protecting it from potential invaders. The bridge's design, which has hardly changed to the present day, is a testament to the city's commitment to preserving its history. The surrounding valley and riverside, adorned with lush greenery and charming buildings, further enhance the allure of this timeless scene. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and history of Luxembourg City, inviting us to explore its winding streets, ancient fortifications, and the enchanting Alzette River.
