Ons Stad N° 121/2020

Most of Issue 121 is about water: the rivers that have shaped the capital, its importance during Luxembourg's time as a fortress city, and the historic role it has played in creating the city's various districts. You will also find articles about more topical matters such as the land restoration project in the Pétrusse Valley, and the creation of a large lake in the municipal park being built in Gasperich. Not only that, the magazine delves into concrete and specific aspects about water distribution, and you can read about the city's water towers that supply drinking water to more than 120,000 residents every day. A selection of old photographs from the City of Luxembourg's Photothèque show the Alzette river in flood, and the Villa Vauban has provided a collection of watercolours painted by Sosthène Weis, an artist who loved the city.
