1854 Luxembourg General Election
General elections were held in Luxembourg on 14 June 1854, electing members of the Chamber of Deputies from all the cantons of Luxembourg. Background The elections were held in the entire country. Partial general elections had already been due to happen in 1854; under the electoral system at the time, Deputies were elected to six-year terms, with elections held every three years, renewing half the Chamber's membership at a time. The last partial general election was in 1851. On 15 May 1854 however, the Simons government prematurely dissolved the Chamber, and organised elections to renew its entire membership for 14 June. This dissolution was due to conflict between the executive and the legislature. Results Successful candidates are marked in bold Analysis In Luxembourg canton, the entire list of candidates supported by the democratic-liberal anti-Simons '' Courrier du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg'' was elected with a large majority; in Mersch, 3 of the 4 successful candida ...

échevin (Luxembourg)
An ''échevin'' ( lb, Schäffe; german: Schöffe), sometimes translated as alderman, is a member of the administration of a Luxembourgian commune. Together, they form the ''collège échevinal'' (german: Schöffenrat), which helps the mayor run the administration. In most communes, ''échevins'' have designated roles within the administration, adopting separate briefs as in a cabinet. ''Échevins'' are elected by the commune's council, and represent the make-up of the governing coalition. Formally, ''échevins'' of cities are named by the Grand Duke, whilst those of other communes are named by the Minister for the Interior. ''Échevins'' must be members of the communal council and hold Luxembourgian nationality. Most communes have two ''échevins'', but more-populous ones are allowed more if granted that right by Grand Ducal decree: communes with 10,000 to 19,999 inhabitants may have 3 ''échevins'', communes with 20,000 or more may have 4 ''échevins'', and Luxembourg City ...

Saint Michel Church, Mersch
In religious belief, a saint is a person who is recognized as having an exceptional degree of holiness, likeness, or closeness to God. However, the use of the term ''saint'' depends on the context and denomination. In Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Oriental Orthodox, and Lutheran doctrine, all of their faithful deceased in Heaven are considered to be saints, but some are considered worthy of greater honor or emulation. Official ecclesiastical recognition, and consequently a public cult of veneration, is conferred on some denominational saints through the process of canonization in the Catholic Church or glorification in the Eastern Orthodox Church after their approval. While the English word ''saint'' originated in Christianity, historians of religion tend to use the appellation "in a more general way to refer to the state of special holiness that many religions attribute to certain people", referring to the Jewish tzadik, the Islamic walī, the Hindu rishi or Sikh gur ...

Nospelt Church
Nospelt ( lb, Nouspelt) is a village in the commune of Kehlen, in south-western Luxembourg. , the village had a population of 754.

Location Nospelt lies 15 km north west of Luxembourg City at a height of 320 m on a plateau between the Mamer and Eisch rivers. It is a quiet rural village with pleasant houses and streets.

It is thought the tombs might belong to chieftains from the Titelberg settlement near Pétange. Some of the artefacts including a tall a ...
