Additional information

Gare belonged to the former municipality of Hollerich, but merged with Luxembourg City in 1920 along with other surrounding municipalities. This area developed very quickly after being connected to the national railway system, and the first train station opened in 1859. Hotels, but also small and large businesses, set up shop close to the train station. Some big names included the champagne company E. Mercier & Co., and the cigarette manufacturer Heintz Van Landewyck.

When the Fortress of Luxembourg was dismantled in 1867, this opened up the area and enabled the urban development of the Bourbon plateau, in particular through the construction of Avenue de la Liberté. The viaduct was built in the 19th century, followed by the Pont Adolphe which opened in 1903, connecting the newly constructed neighbourhood to Luxembourg City. The main building of the present-day Luxembourg Central Station was completed in 1912.
