About
The Schluechthaus site (Old Slaughterhouse), which belongs to the City of Luxembourg, covers an area of around 2.5 ha, including a number of green spaces. Situated in Hollerich near major thoroughfares, several schools and the future Porte de Hollericheco-district, the Schluechthaus occupies a superb location in southern Luxembourg City.
After the slaughterhouse was closed in 1997, the buildings on this site were used for a few years to accommodate the City of Luxembourg's Service Sports (Sports Department), a skatepark and several storage areas.
Architectural design competition
With its superb location in southern Luxembourg City near major thoroughfares, several schools and the future Porte de Hollerich eco-district, the Schluechthaus will be the subject of an architectural design competition in 2022 for the redevelopment of this site.
Activities
An extensive pre-works programme to promote and revitalise the "Schluechthaus" has been launched. The aim is to test out the ideas gathered during the citizen participation process on the future use of the site. Before construction work begins, a series of one-time events – spanning cultural, sports and intergenerational activities – will be put on at the Old Slaughterhouse.
