Conveniences in Limpertsberg, a popular district of Luxembourg

Schools in the Limpertsberg district of Luxembourg
Several Luxembourg primary and secondary schools are located on Limpertsberg.
The Lycée Michel Lucius and its basic school will move to the "op der Schleed" site in the Kirchberg district. The Waldorfschoul will also move to Kirchberg.
For the time being, the Lycée Technique du Centre is equipped with new extensions, including a sports hall and a new catering hall designed with eco-responsibility in mind. These facilities will remain operational after the planned move to the new "Midfield" district in Howald, close to the Lycée Vauban.
To reduce traffic in the district, more than 5,000 schoolchildren and students are to move out of the area by 2025. The aim is to make Limpertsberg a car-free district.
The land vacated by the various schools would be reused for the construction of new housing. This could meet, at least in part, the high demand for real estate in Luxembourg.
