National Anthem of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg - Ons Heemecht
Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sinn 🇱🇺
"Ons Heemecht" (formerly "Ons Hémecht", lit. 'Our Homeland') is the national anthem of Luxembourg. Written by Michel Lentz in 1859 and set to music by Jean Antoine Zinnen in 1864, it is performed at national celebrations, while the royal anthem, or, more accurately, the grand ducal anthem, "De Wilhelmus", is performed at entrances or exits of members of the Grand Ducal Family.
Luxembourgish poet Michel Lentz wrote the poem Ons Heemecht in 1859, and it was set to music by Luxembourgish composer Jean Antoine Zinnen in 1864. The song was first performed in public in Ettelbruck, a town at the confluence of the Alzette and Sauer rivers (both of which are mentioned in the song), on 5 June 1864.
"Ons Heemecht" competed for a while with "De Feierwon", a song based...

President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola on Tuesday visited Luxembourg, saying the country must play its part in the EU’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Metsola on Tuesday met with Grand Duke Henri, prime minister Xavier Bettel (DP) and foreign affairs minister Jean Asselborn (LSAP), as well as speaking at the Chamber of Deputies during an official state visit.
#Henri #Duke #Metsola #Luxembourg #Palace
“Luxembourg has always played a leading part in championing European integration and European democracy,” Metsola said, from the grand duchy’s role in founding the European Coal and Steel Community to the signing of the Schengen agreement and beyond.
“You and your citizens believe in Europe,” the president said. Speaking 20 days into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, she said Luxembourg’s “homes and hearts have been opened to people fleeing war.”
As Europe in the aftermath of WW2 pooled together precious coal and steel resources, Metsola said it is now time to rethink our resources once again and wean the EU off Russian gas, which she said funds bombs “raining down on Ukraine.”
The EU must become more self-reliant, she said, not only on energy but also food security, as well as building a stronger security and defence union. “The threat that we face are real,” Metsola said.
The European Parliament president called for bold and ambitious solutions to the crisis, adding that the EU has already passed unprecedented sanctions packages and stands united with Ukraine. “We are only as big as our ideas.”
Metsola said more aid needs to be channelled to Ukraine and support to countries that have welcomed refugees. But the president also warned that Poland and Hungary would not be exempt from rule of law obligations over their support for fleeing Ukraine.
Rule of law
Poland has taken in around 1.7 million people, with more than 255,000 received in Hungary. Both countries, however, face EU sanctions for refusing to take in refugees as part of a 2015 mechanism aimed at relocating 120,000 refugees over a period of two years.
Both countries had launched a legal challenge against a rule-of-law mechanism that give the European Commission the power to withhold funds for rule of law violations. The European Court of Justice in February dismissed the case, but the EU could now hold back off on blocking Poland and Hungary’s budget as they provide support for refugees from Ukraine.
Still, Metsola said that curbs on press freedom, LGBTQ+ rights, women’s rights and other rule of law violations wouldn’t be annulled by the country’s humanitarian response to the war in Ukraine.
“We thought ourselves secure in peace. Putin’s invasion has shattered peace in Europe,” she said. “Europeans are experiencing crimes of war,” Metsola said, calling the shelling of a maternity ward and children’s hospital in the eastern city of Mariupol “an act of pure evil.”
She said the EU stands with the people of Ukraine, who have a future in the bloc, but also with those in Russia who are protesting against the war. “They are also on the right side of history.”

Luxembourg is the capital city of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (also named "Luxembourg"), and the country's most populous commune. Standing at the confluence of the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers in southern Luxembourg, the city lies at the heart of Western Europe, situated 213 km (132 mi) by road from Brussels, 372 km (231 mi) from Paris, and 209 km (130 mi) from Cologne.The city contains Luxembourg Castle, established by the Franks in the Early Middle Ages, around which a settlement developed.
As of January 2016, the commune had a population of 115,227,which was more than three times the population of the country's second most populous commune (Esch-sur-Alzette). The city's metropolitan population, including that of surrounding communes of Hesperange, Sandweiler, Strassen, and Walferdange, reaches 180,000.
In 2011, Luxembourg was ranked as having the second highest per capita GDP in the world at $80,119 (PPP), with the city having developed into a banking and administrative centre. In the 2011 Mercer worldwide survey of 221 cities, Luxembourg was placed first for personal safety while it was ranked 19th for quality of living. It is a seat of several institutions of the European Union, including the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Auditors, the Secretariat of the European Parliament, the European Investment Bank, the European Investment Fund, and the European Stability Mechanism.

Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sinn 🇱🇺
"Ons Heemecht" (formerly "Ons Hémecht", lit. 'Our Homeland') is the national anthem of Luxembourg. Written by Michel Lentz in 1859 and set to music by Jean Antoine Zinnen in 1864, it is performed at national celebrations, while the royal anthem, or, more accurately, the grand ducal anthem, "De Wilhelmus", is performed at entrances or exits of members of the Grand Ducal Family.
Luxembourgish poet Michel Lentz wrote the poem Ons Heemecht in 1859, and it was set to music by Luxembourgish composer Jean Antoine Zinnen in 1864. The song was first performed in public in Ettelbruck, a town at the confluence of the Alzette and Sauer rivers (both of which are mentioned in the song), on 5 June 1864.
"Ons Heemecht" competed for a while with "De Feierwon", a song based on another poem by Lentz, for the status of the national anthem. The last line of the chorus of "De Feierwon" became the origin of Luxembourg's national motto.
The first and last stanzas of "Ons Heemecht" were adopted as Luxembourg's national anthem on 17 June 1993, when it was added as one of the official national emblems, with the national flag, the national coat of arms and the Grand Duke's Official Birthday.
