Luxemburger Bundeskontingent

Guided tour

Deze inhoud is helaas niet in het Nederlands beschikbaar.

 Amidst the democratic upheavals and national wars that swept through Europe, Luxembourg’s national army – the Luxembourgish Bundeskontingent – remains a fascinating yet often overlooked chapter of history. This exhibition dives into how the military shaped politics, the economy and daily life: how did recruiting, housing, feeding and equipping 1,600 soldiers leave its mark on the Grand Duchy?

.

Through previously unseen artefacts from our collections and prestigious loans, the exhibition brings to life the human stories behind the societal and military challenges of 19th-century Luxembourg, such as the career of Officer Louis-Alphonse Munchen.

The exhibition is open from 24 April 2025 until 22 March 2026. Official opening 23 April at 6 pm.
