History
Kirchberg is first mentioned in a document from 1222, and was part of the Weimerskirch area of the former municipality of Eich. In 1875, the residents of Kirchberg built their first chapel, keeping an oath they made during the cholera epidemic of the 1840s.
Initially, Kirchberg's inhabitants lived mainly off agriculture. Its urban development is closely linked to the fact that in 1952, Luxembourg became the seat of the European Coal and Steel Community, which was the precursor to the European Union.
In 1961, the Fonds d’urbanisation et d’aménagement du plateau de Kirchberg (Kirchberg Plateau Urbanisation and Development Fund) was created. This same organisation still oversees the urban development of Kirchberg, which is an important location for European, economic, cultural, and sports institutions, as well as being an attractive residential neighbourhood.
