Mayors Of Luxembourg City
In many countries, a mayor is the highest-ranking official in a municipal government such as that of a city or a town. Worldwide, there is a wide variance in local laws and customs regarding the powers and responsibilities of a mayor as well as the means by which a mayor is elected or otherwise mandated. Depending on the system chosen, a mayor may be the chief executive officer of the municipal government, may simply chair a multi-member governing body with little or no independent power, or may play a solely ceremonial role. A mayor's duties and responsibilities may be to appoint and oversee municipal managers and employees, provide basic governmental services to constituents, and execute the laws and ordinances passed by a municipal governing body (or mandated by a state, territorial or national governing body). Options for selection of a mayor include direct election by the public, or selection by an elected governing council or board. The term ''mayor'' shares a linguistic ...

Luxembourgian Architects
Luxembourgish ( ; also ''Luxemburgish'', ''Luxembourgian'', ''Letzebu(e)rgesch''; ) is a West Germanic language that is spoken mainly in Luxembourg. About 400,000 people speak Luxembourgish worldwide. The language is standardized and officially the national language of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. As such, Luxembourgish is different from the German language also used in the Grand Duchy. The German language exists in a national standard variety of Luxembourg, which is slightly different from the standard varieties in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. Another important language of Luxembourg is French, which had a certain influence on both the national language, Luxembourgish, and the Luxembourg national variety of German. Luxembourgish, German and French are the three official languages ''(Amtssprachen)'' of Luxembourg. As a standard form of the Moselle Franconian language, Luxembourgish has similarities with other High German dialects and the wider group of West Germanic lang ...

Saint Michel Church, Mersch
In Christian 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 Anglican, Oriental Orthodox, and Lutheran doctrine, all of their faithful deceased in Heaven are considered to be saints, but a selected few are considered worthy of greater honor or emulation. Official ecclesiastical recognition, and 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. In many Protestant denominations, and following from Pauline usage, ''saint'' refers broadly to any holy Christian, without special recognition or selection. While the English word ''saint'' (deriving from the Latin ) originated in Christianity, historians of religion tend to use the appellation "in a more general way to refer to the state of special h ...

échevin (Luxembourg)
An ''échevin'' (; ), sometimes translated as alderman, is a member of the administration of a Luxembourgish commune. Together, they form the ''collège échevinal'' (), 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 nominated 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 Luxembourg (; ; ), also known as Luxembo ...

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 ...
