List Of Cities In Luxembourg
There are twelve towns in Luxembourg, as defined by statute. Despite the status as towns, they are not all contiguous urbanised areas. They are similar to communes, but have been given a separate legal status. There is a technical difference between the status of commune and towns, but this is limited in practicality. One difference is that '' échevins'' in towns are formally appointed by the Grand Duke, whereas ''échevins'' for other communes are appointed by the Minister for the Interior. Terminology The officially used terms for a town in the sense of this article are ''Stad'' (plural ''Stied'') in Luxembourgish, ''Stadt'' (plural ''Städte'') in German, and ''ville'' (plural ''villes'') in French. All of these terms may be translated as either "town" or "city". However, apart from the capital, Luxembourg, and Esch-sur-Alzette, most of the places have none of the qualities that would award them the status of a "city" according to English usage.
