Neudorf / Weimershof, strategically located neighborhoods

The Neudorf-Weimershof District in Luxembourg

Located in the northeast of Luxembourg City, the Neudorf/Weimershof neighborhood is one of the city’s 24 districts. It occupies a strategic location near the Cents and Clausen neighborhoods and the Kirchberg business district.

Neudorf-Weimershof is a diverse neighborhood in Luxembourg City that emerged from the merger of two former neighborhoods. It combines Neudorf’s working-class heritage with the more residential and modern setting of Weimershof.

Located between Kirchberg and downtown, it benefits from a strategic location while remaining relatively quiet. Neudorf, the older of the two, retains an authentic feel with traditional houses, while Weimershof offers more modern residences popular with families and expats.

Well-connected but marked by busy thoroughfares, the neighborhood attracts those seeking a balance between urban proximity and a residential setting, with quick access to European institutions and surrounding green spaces.

Atmosphere of the Neudorf and Weimershof neighborhoods

The Neudorf area is a quiet neighborhood in Luxembourg, frequented mainly by its residents. Its elongated layout, nestled in a steep-sided valley, offers little opportunity for a vibrant neighborhood life. The Neudorf neighborhood serves primarily as a transit point to the city of Luxembourg. It stretches between the Clausen neighborhood and the Findel Airport area.

The Neudorf neighborhood dates back to the late 18th century, when residents were resettled there after being expropriated to make way for the construction of the fortress. The neighborhood developed primarily in the second half of the 19th century with the construction of the Funck-Schamberger brewery, which remained in operation until 1982. Here you can find single-family homes dating from 1880 and the 1930s–50s, as well as more recent buildings.

Today, the old houses are gradually being demolished to make way for modern apartment buildings. The site of the former Henri Funck brewery has now been converted into shops and housing.

The Weimershof area, meanwhile, is located higher up on the Kirchberg Plateau. It is a more residential neighborhood, with larger, newer homes. Real estate prices there are also higher than in the more working-class neighborhood of Neudorf.

An elevator will connect the footbridge to the Neudorf neighborhood. This structure is expected to be completed by 2025.
