Luxembourg Communes

Communes of Luxembourg

Eschweiler commune merged with Wiltz; name of Erpeldange changed to Erpeldange-sur-Sûre.

Until recently, Luxembourg was divided into three districts, which were subdivided into twelve cantons, which were subdivided into 106 communes. Now it has decided to abolish the districts and cantons in order to streamline local government. Sorin Cosoveanu provided me this table of communes. The HASC codes used herein for districts and cantons are obsolete.

Commune: French name. HASC: Hierarchical administrative subdivision codes. Population: 2011-01-01 census. Canton: For key, see table of cantons below.

Further subdivisions:

Soon the cantons and districts will have only historic interest. Each canton has a level-4 NUTS code, and each commune, a level-5 code. Statec has also assigned each commune a numeric code, in which the first segment identifies the canton.

On 2015-11-27, ISO officially assigned ISO 3166-2 codes to the twelve cantons, as shown in the table below.
