since it opened - closed its doors for good on 22 October "We support our retailers and help them with their projects but unfortunately we are aware that the covid years have had a major impact on retailing," said the shopping centre’s director explained that the closure is part of a process of renewal "I can understand that the regulars at Kirchberg are a little surprised but our shopping centre has an average turnover of 6% a year This means that around four or five of the 70 shops in the centre are renewed every year One of these new arrivals is Waffle Factory which will be taking the place of Häagen-Dazs Already well established in Belgium and France with more than 75 outlets the Belgian chain is setting up shop in Luxembourg for the first time Installation work will start in mid-November with opening planned for the end-of-year festivities or early 2025 Another major change is that the seafood restaurant Amarine will be replaced by the major fast-food chain Burger King and the group preferred to sell it and close the brand" With a surface area of 500m2 and a staff of nearly one hundred Burger King will be a major competitor for the other fast food outlets in the centre located just a few steps away in the Kinépolis gallery The brand will be open during the shopping centre's normal opening hours but is currently in talks to extend its operating hours beyond the centre's usual hours The Kirchberg Shopping Center will also welcome Medi-Market the Belgian chain specialising in the sale of pharmaceutical parapharmaceutical and beauty products at attractive prices Medi-Market has 94 shops in Belgium and Luxembourg including one at the Cloche d'Or shopping centre "We had been in discussions with this chain for some time but in order to carry out their project in a gallery we needed a space large enough to accommodate the range of products they wanted to offer" So it wasn't until two side-by-side spaces became available on the 1st floor of the shopping centre that the brand finally set up shop in Kirchberg "will help to revitalise the centre and surrounding shops" a confectionery chain that will be setting up next door Read the original French-language version of this news report an alum of the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) was recently awarded the Grand Prix in the 2024 Nordic and Baltic Young Artist Awards The Nordic and Baltic Young Artist Awards competition aims to support young artists completing their bachelor's or master's studies at the start of their careers This year's awards marked the ninth edition of the competition which featured 135 young artists presenting a total of 283 works The Grand Prix was awarded to Kirchberg for her transdisciplinary work exploring the fragility of hybrid systems through sculptures The international jury highlighted Kirchberg's distinctive and mature signature style as well as the topicality of the themes explored in her work EKA Gallery director and jury member Kaisa Maasik said that Mara Kirchberg's final thesis "Feeding a Leaky Skin," was a clear standout as it addresses the theme of care – particularly through the everyday labor the artist performed by continuously maintaining the work throughout its exhibition," Maasik explained "The installation's filtration systems took over Uus Rada Gallery in their visual resemblance to skin and bodily fluids prompting reflections on corporeality and the fragility of the human system." NOBA.ac art platform and competition initiator Andra Orn was delighted to see the Grand Prix return to Estonia after several years The last time an Estonian artist won the competition was in 2016 when Juhan Soomets claimed the top prize with his sound installation "The Artists' Room." the competition was still called the Baltic Young Artist Awards," Orn noted it has grown significantly – with several Nordic art academies joining and the number of participants increasing severalfold This makes Mara Kirchberg's win even more remarkable." A post shared by EKA Galerii (@eka.galerii) This year's Public Choice Award and Fotografiska Award also both went to an Estonian artist – Pallas University of Applied Sciences alum Kirke Kuiv whose experimental photography examines the human experience and emotional complexity The Young Painter Award went to Johanna Saikkonen (Uniarts Helsinki) for her powerful oil paintings that delve into themes of egocentricity and self-deception Select winning works will be exhibited in 2025 at the Art Academy of Latvia's Art Space PILOT in Riga and the ArtDepoo Gallery in Tallinn The winners of this year's awards were selected by an international jury composed of professors curators and artists from across the Nordic and Baltic countries The jury included Andris Vitolinš (Art Academy of Latvia Margus Meinart (Pallas University of Applied Sciences Taina Erävaara (Turku University of Applied Sciences curator and founder of the Nordic Baltic contemporary art platform NOBA.ac Follow ERR News on Facebook and Twitter and never miss an update! 0)" class="article-poll-disclaimer" ng-bind="totalVotes + ' hääletajat'"> {{option.votes}} {{selectedLanguage.poll.votes}}/ Iga kasutaja võib hääletada {{poll.optionLimit}} vastusevariandi poolt The University of Luxembourg’s flagship project named “The cloud” was cancelled “a few years ago”, a university spokesperson told the Luxemburger Wort. The plan, presented in 2021, had included a new auditorium, offices, cafe and a large room with space for 450 people on a total area of 4,000 square metres. It was supposed to be ready by 2025. But the plans were shelved some years ago, according to the university. It did not, however, specify why the building plan was dropped. But the university has not yet abandoned the idea of a new building in Kirchberg. “A new architectural competition will be organised,” the university spokesperson said. However, there are no details yet on when the competition will begin or end.  (This article was originally published by the Luxemburger Wort.

Farmland occupied the area that now houses the towers, and farmers lived in the vicinity before moving on to other land. The first building to mark this urban transformation was the Alcide De Gasperi tower, "Héichhaus" in Luxembourgish. In 1965, after five years of work, this monstrous 77-metre-high structure was completed. The following year, it was inaugurated, and ushered in the transformation of the Kirchberg area. To understand how this transformation came about, we need to go back to the origins. In 1952, Luxembourg City was designated as the workplace of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), a precursor of what we now call the European Union.At the time, it included Luxembourg, as well as France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and West Germany. "Several cities were considered, including Strasbourg, Saarbrücken and Liège. But in the end it was Luxembourg that was chosen as the location," said Martine Hemmer, head of communications for the Fonds Kirchberg, the district's urban development fund. "The government came up with the idea of creating an entire city that was the complete opposite of the one that had existed until then," she added. The problem at the time was that the premises available to these various organisations were too small and too scattered. So the idea was to bring everything together on a single site, in larger premises. The "Kirchberg Plateau Urbanisation and Development Fund", more commonly known as the "Kirchberg Fund", was given the task of "urbanising and developing the Kirchberg Plateau" by a law passed on 7 August 1961. Meanwhile, the tower, named after one of the "fathers of Europe", former Italian Prime Minister Alcide De Gasperi (1881-1954), was to house the secretariat of the European Parliament. The inauguration of the tower marked the start of the transformation of the district's roads: huge car parks were built and roads were constructed to serve the plateau and link it to Findel airport and the city centre. From its inauguration until 2008, the imposing 22-storey structure remained the tallest building in the capital. The first two towers of the European Court of Justice, inaugurated that year and measuring 103 metres, overtook it in the rankings. The third tower, inaugurated in 2019, holds the current record at 118 metres. With the growing number of employees coming to work in Luxembourg and the explosion of the services sector, more and more office towers were built in the district over the years. Construction of the Kirchberg District Centre began in 1993. In 1996, the commercial section was completed, followed by the office section in 1998. Today, the building is home to the Kirchberg Shopping Centre, with the Auchan store as the site’s largest retailer. Over the years, other buildings have also opened that helped Kirchberg branch out beyond its traditional label of simply being a business district, such as the Philharmonie, the Coque, Luxexpo. There is no shortage of new buildings planned for Kirchberg over the coming years. Among the biggest projects expected in the district are the Jean Monnet 2 tower the future headquarters of the European Commission in Luxembourg the future global headquarters of ArcelorMittal the new headquarters of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the three new buildings to be occupied by the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) EU information hubsPremiumEU’s visitor centres under review

HousingFirst steps for Kuebebierg site, the capital’s new districtKirchberg housing project will focus on sustainable housing and environmental protection which is being presented by the Fonds Kirchberg at the Mipim real estate fiar in Cannes The Grünewald Ouest mixed urban project is to be developed The Fonds Kirchberg is inviting applications from a developer-architect-engineer consortium with a view to designing financing and marketing five plots near the future Waldorf school The Fonds Kirchberg is taking advantage of Mipim in Cannes to announce the development of 45,000m2 of gross buildable area at Kirchberg Five plots will be built close to the National Centre for Functional Rehabilitation (Rehazenter) and the future Waldorf school An invitation to tender has been issued to groups of developers financing and marketing this mixed urban project This new district will stand out from the rest of Kirchberg thanks to its car-free concept It will house a total of 367 homes of various types as well as 625m2 of local shops and services There will also be 1,000m2 of office space at least 15% of the homes must be affordable housing The approximately four-hectare plot is bounded by Rue des Labours The land will be transferred in the form of surface rights and long leaseholds.The aim is to create a neighbourhood on a human scale with public spaces dedicated to pedestrians cars will be parked in a 2,000 m2 neighbourhood mobility hub which will also offer complementary services such as car-sharing and bicycle hire The programme features plans for a central square around which the buildings are articulated and which will become the meeting point for the neighbourhood following on from the new Waldorf school (around 600 pupils) whose presence will contribute to the liveliness of the neighbourhood The inner courtyards of the buildings can be used as green spaces where residents can meet and play The absence of an underground car park means that large trees can be planted “The plateau attracts an international population of executives and expatriates guaranteeing low vacancy rates and stable incomes for investors,” explains Marc Widong Kirchberg is also one of Luxembourg’s leading business districts with more than 1.1m square metres of office space and a particularly low vacancy rate The Grünewald Ouest project therefore represents an opportunity for those wishing to reduce the distance between home and work making it a potentially attractive product for investors present at the Mipim real estate fair in Cannes Sales prices are stabilising and interest rates are falling with sales expected within two years,” emphasises Widong A second call for applications for the development of another project within the Grünewald district will be launched in April This involves two large units that can be developed by two separate developers: an office block with ground floor retail units The residential complex includes a 12-storey tower that will house co-living and micro-lodging units The Public Works Department has announced road surface renewal works on the A1 motorway between the Kirchberg interchange and the Croix de Gasperich at 10pm and is expected to be completed by Monday several roadblocks and diversions will be in place: The A1 motorway towards Croix de Gasperich will be closed between the Kirchberg

However, several housing developments on the Kirchberg Plateau will see the residential population grow to 23,700 by 2040. The glass and steel feel of Kirchberg belies the fact that it initially began life as a simple field. Kirchberg's transformation started in the 1950s when it became home to a number of European Union institutions. In 1963 the famous Héichhaus (tower building) was erected to house the Secretariat of the European Parliament. Today the area is home to many European Union institutions including the Court of Justice, the Investment Bank, Parliament and Commission. In the 1990s and 2000s a number of well-known architects began work on financial sector buildings, the Philharmonie concert hall and the MUDAM museum. The award-winning building of the Chamber of Commerce at the Rue Alcide de Gasperi and Rue Erasme was designed by French architect Claude Vasconi and his Luxembourg associate Jean Petit. Both Kirchberg and Weimerskirch command top-end real estate prices not least because of their location close to offices and the city although the new residential developments are mostly affordable housing in the form of apartments According to Wort Immo the current price per m2 of real estate in the area is: The Kirchberg Shopping Center is an extensive covered shopping area which includes a number of clothing shops an Orange mobile phone shop and the Auchan supermarket It also incorporates a number of restaurants Infinity Shopping is a new centre set at the foot of the European Court of Justice at the other end of Kirchberg The European School Luxembourg I is located in Kirchberg offering free education to employees of the European Institutions with private places available in many languages including French There is also a Technical School/College on Rue Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi.

(ABP) asked Fabeck Architectes to design the new hostel for migrants in Kirchberg The people who are housed here have had to flee their countries in the hope of finding a safe haven and a better life

to its location The building is being constructed in Kirchberg on land in the Grünewald area in the heart of the city To further encourage the integration of these new arrivals into neighbourhood life the Fonds Kirchberg has decided to install a permanent “Quartier Stuff” (neighbourhood living room) on the ground floor of the building The plot also has the advantage of being located next to the

25-26 March Experts discussed how are transforming the fund industry why the European Securities and Markets Authorities thinks the goal of the savings and investment union 46 trees were recently uprooted and transplanted to accommodate the construction of a new tram section the landscape gardener overseeing the operation explained that the selected trees were chosen for their likelihood of surviving the transplant process often struggle to acclimatise compared to younger ones making it impossible to relocate all trees despite frequent requests from municipal officials Brandenburger emphasised the importance of clearing and trimming damaged roots immediately after relocation While it is difficult to determine whether the resources invested in transplanting are economically profitable in every case Brandenburger believes the operation on Kirchberg was cost-effective explaining: "The cost [of transplanting a tree] is a few thousand euros whereas purchasing a new tree of the same size The feasibility of transplanting also depends on the trees' location and the complexity of the underground network which can significantly increase effort and costs Brandenburger highlighted the importance of opting for a circular economy approach preserving existing trees rather than always purchasing new ones another remarkable tree transplant operation took place in Esch-sur-Alzette where an 80 to 100-year-old plane tree was uprooted and relocated by a specialised international company was destined for removal the following year due to the construction of the rapid tram expressed cautious optimism about the tree's survival he refrained from guaranteeing its outcome It remains to be seen if the effort and investment pay off or if it would have been more practical to remove the tree immediately as part of the tram project Pierre-Ignace Bernard (McKinsey) at the Clearstream Fund Summit Niklas Nolzen (McKinsey) at the Clearstream Fund Summit Richard

discuss about the democratisation of private assets and challenges and solutions for the asset management industry at the Clearstream Fund Summit managing director at Ninety One started his career 40 years ago “it was all about balanced funds…  and then consultants decided that you had to go specialists because that fuelled the whole industry,” he said He is expecting disruption so large in the distribution in the asset management and wealth management that the landscape in three to five years will have dramatically changed head of global sales & RM for Clearstream Fund Services were speaking at the Clearstream Fund Summit on 10 October 2024 “The whole beauty of alternatives is that they’re illiquid you don't get the alpha premium,” argued Garland He explained that once problems hit the market and everybody will hate them… We’ve seen this movie before Garland stressed that his funds hold alternative assets such as African private credits We’re not trying to be all things to all people.” it’s being sold to high-net-worth individuals at private banking… not my mom who is retail,” claimed Wise Garland answered back: “that’s the case of a slippery slope.” thinks that the mutual fund business is experiencing a slow death on the back of a tax advantage for ETFs tokenisation as a buzzword and personalised portfolios Garland suggested that the SMAs are an elegant solution to get exposure to a market based on a model portfolio--of say 20-30 stocks--for about 30 bps against 85 bps in fees for a mutual fund and I do not understand why that is not happening It’s a portfolio.” He thinks that technology must embrace such a solution because “you get away from all the regulation and all the costs of having to set up funds in different jurisdictions.” because there’s no tax advantage [for ETFs] Yet he believes that active ETFs will “take off quicker than people are realising in Europe.” I don’t know why I’m extolling the virtues of ETFs because that's where the margins still are,” stated Garland he mentioned that he pays his wealth manager while he noted that some others are charging 100bps “Those margins are now under threat.” He sees some pressure with wealth managers charging now 30bps to 40 bps he thinks that the Blackrocks and Vanguards of this world “will continue to do well” because they are supermarkets you have the alternatives on the other end of the spectrum Garland thinks it will be tough for boutique managers with less than $30bn to $40bn of assets under management which has $160bn of assets under management will do well in the middle ground because it has decided to specialise in emerging markets ($100bn in AUM) “There are so many asset managers on the block.” Garland argued it does not make sense to acquire an asset manager suffering constant outflows he anticipates that AM “will bring in expertise they don’t have,” as Ninety One has done when it hired a team of European private credit etc] want to work with less managers.” Garland is concerned whether AM firms not offering everything will be chosen by the large distributors Yet they may find some soft spots: “you don’t want to be a one fund jockey you’ve got to have three to six funds on their recommended list or approved list.”  He is puzzled to see “Where’s the choice for the end client?” asked Garland Garland noted a trend in Dublin to set up funds with multi managers or “a multi-manager sub advisory structure.” When tendering for an active European equity mandate Ninety One was told: “unless the number began with two or ideally one but the question then become whether you are giving the client “great active management.” Garland would love to see consultancies to review and provide transparency on the performance of wealth managers just as much as the asset management industry is subjected to First put to the city council in 2008, the project to build a bridge connecting the Cents and Weimershof/Kirchberg neighbourhoods, over Neudorf, has proven controversial and long.   The cost was projected to be €18 million in 2008, François Benoy, councillor for the Greens told the Luxembourg Times. The cost was estimated at €24.1 million the last time the city council discussed the bridge. On Monday, members gave the greenlight to a budget of €40.1 million. “When you block important infrastructure, it will always get more expensive,” Benoy said. “When you want to take action against climate change, when you want to do important infrastructure for a better quality of life, you have to do this investment and not wait and wait,” he continued.  Claude Radoux, a councillor from the DP party which holds the majority of seats on the council, said that the project had been on the table for “at least 15 years” and that “of course I and we all would have preferred the price tag of €24 million which we voted on in 2022”. However, cost increases “due to inflation and a few extras” had led to the surge in the price tag, Radoux added. Benoy said his party supported the bridge project in 2008 and still does today, despite its high price. The design and location of the proposed bridge have both changed over the years, he also noted. The bridge’s design will make it an attraction like some of the city’s other famous bridges, or like the Pfaffenthal lift, said Benoy. It also will be a solid investment as it connects the Kirchberg district to the Cents railway station, he said. Ironically, the lift and the Cents-Kirchberg bridge were approved during the same council meeting in 2008, but the financial crisis put one of the two projects on ice, Benoy said. Political opposition has been spearheaded by the ADR, with the LSAP also questioning the high price. There has also been opposition from a local residents’ group that calls the bridge a prestige project while questioning its cost-benefit balance.  The residents have not applied for a court injunction against construction, but could consider doing so once the diggers move it, news site Tageblatt said. “People have the right to be against the project and they also have the right to go to court. But to be honest, this project has now been an ongoing discussion for 20 years. So it’s not a new project. And I am sure that this project will be very positive for the neighbourhood, especially also for Neudorf, because it connects them to Kirchberg,” Benoy said. While the bridge is expected to be constructed by 2028 under current plans, Radoux said, “what we cannot foresee [is] if there will be legal injunctions which can slow the process down”. The budget for the project falls under the responsibility of the capital’s administration, and will not be discussed in parliament.  (This article was updated at 17:30 on 22 October 2024 with comments

Kirchberg Emergency Accommodation Facility (SHUK) on Wednesday afternoon Authorities were alerted to the situation on Rue Carlo Hemmer where officers located and engaged with the distressed individual police negotiators persuaded the person against taking harmful action CGDIS paramedics then provided medical care and transported the individual to hospital for further evaluation RTL verified the incident through official police confirmation after an eyewitness had sent a photo of the intervention to the editorial team If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, you can reach out to SOS Détresse, which offers confidential support via phone at 45 45 45. English-speaking support is available every Wednesday and Saturday. Volunteers provide assistance in Luxembourgish, German, and French daily from 11am to 11pm, extending hours until 3am on Fridays and Saturdays. You can also visit the organisation's website, www.454545.lu The 2.3-kilometre route between Pfaffenthal and Kirchberg will branch off from the existing line near the Red Bridge station to serve the future Laangfur district. In February last year, the Chamber of Deputies approved funding for the extension, which comes at a costs of €106 million. The planned route will connect the Pfaffenthal/Kirchberg transfer point with the European School and run along Boulevard Konrad Adenauer. With the construction of the new section, the public space will be extensively remodelled and given a new look. The tram route will run along the centre of Boulevard Konrad Adenauer and be lined with a double row of trees. According to the company, this should help to promote soft mobility and improve the quality of life in the Kirchberg neighbourhood. Existing green spaces, which currently cover 10,000 square metres, will increase by 50% with the arrival of the tram, Luxtram said in a press release. A total of 400 trees are to be planted along the avenue, 49 of which will be temporarily replanted and 150 newly planted. Before the actual construction work for the new section begins, Luxtram is carrying out preparatory work between Avenue John F. Kennedy and Rue Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi. Among other things, 92 trees will be removed. In addition, the facilities for the construction site will be set up and the road layout adapted. At the same time, Luxtram is carrying out work to set up the diversions and renew the underground sewer infrastructure. Water, gas and electricity pipes located under the future tram tracks will be relocated to ensure that they remain accessible for repairs and maintenance without having to interrupt tram operations. All measures will be carried out in close coordination with the relevant authorities and with the interests of local residents in mind, Luxtram said. Luxtram is setting up a specialised construction site mediation team to minimise disruption for residents and users of the public space. The contact point is available for queries and concerns by telephone on 26 20 28 20 or by email at travaux@luxtram.lu. With the start of construction, Luxtram is heralding another important stage in the development of the city's tram network. On 2 March, the tram will carry passengers to Findel for the first time: This will mark the completion of the line over a distance of 16km and connect the Stade de Luxembourg with the airport.

A nice chilled vibe which is slowly becoming more vibrant. At the moment, Kirchberg seems to be suitable for almost everyone. There is a good balance here for all ages. I like the fact that it’s close to everything. I seem to be 10 minutes from everywhere. Ten minutes bus ride from the city centre, 10 minutes bus ride from the airport, 10 minutes walking to the shopping centre, and a 10-minute walk to the pub. Perfect! Right now the community is still developing as the area grows in size. I would say to be part of something that looks promising as a relaxing and cultural area in the making. Far different from the grew finance office world it was previously known as. For a restaurant I would say Au Petit Max. I was a big fan of their restaurant in the city centre, and very happy to have one close to me. For bars I would recommend the Shamrock Pub at the Infinity building. The staff in there are so friendly and welcoming, always happy to see me. For the summertime, I highly recommend Kyosk in the Kirchberg Central Park. Always a nice chilled vibe with relaxed alternative music, and plenty to do for everyone. I even play some music there sometimes on a Sunday afternoon. What activities can people do there? Kirchberg has many things to do. The Coque sports centre has activities including swimming and handball. Central Park has pétanque pitches and plenty of areas to play football. There’s many cycle paths and two shopping centres, and a variety of restaurants. As I mentioned before, the convenience is fantastic, and I can be almost anywhere in 10 minutes.
