  1.  Graf von Losinj  Up to 1866 Luxemburg was part of the German Federation , and for centuries part of HRE, in 14th century members of the original Luxemburg noble family had also been kings of Bohemia and emperors of HRE. The switch to French as official language , was to show , that they no more are a part of Germany. There are still people speaking german, but ,letzeburgisch' dialect is nearly not understandable to me.

  2. The vault Tech: Luxemburg was from middle age to 1866 a part of Germany. In 14th century the original Luxemburg dynasty had been also for some time Kings of Bohemia and Emperors of HRE, this means they had been, long ago, important. Later the capital ( also named Luxemburg) was a strong fortress , which was important. After 1815 , until 1832, the Dutch King was also Great Duke of Luxemburg. And the town was a German Federation Fortress of second class, during the time of the German Federation the Luxemburgian contingent of the German Federation Army served as fortress troops for Luxemburg fortress ( together with 2000 prussian soldiers). After the Innergerman war of 1866 Luxemburg ( together with Austria and Liechtenstein) leafed Germany, and became independent and neutral. They destroyed ( schleiften) the fortress, that Luxemburg was no more interessting for France under Napoleon lll, and Prussia gave up the right, to have 2000 soldiers in Luxemburg. I hope, this not so necessary knowledge helps.

  3.  @Vindettaable  : Between 1815 and 1866 there was no Germany, but a German Federation/ Deutscher Bund. And Großherzogtum/ Great Duchy Luxemburg was part of the German Federation. Yes, from 1815- 1832 the Dutch King was King of the Netherlands ( in those days Netherlands and Belgium) and Greatduke of Luxemburg . But only as Greatduke of Luxemburg he was Bundesfürst/ Federation prince of the German Federation. From 1815- 1839 also the British King was Bundesfürst, because he was also King of Hannover. Also from 1815- 1864 the Danish King was a Bundesfürst, because he was Duke of Holstein. And the luxemburgish military coningent was part of the Bundesheer of the German Federation. In wartime the luxemburgian soldiers had to defemd the Fortress Luxemburg, the capital, together with a prussian Garrison of 2000 men. The Fortress Luxemburg was in German Federation time seen as a Bundesfestung zweiter Klasse/ Federation fortress second class. After the innergerman war of 1866 the German Federation no more existed and Luxemburg, Liechtenstein and Austria saw themselfes no more as a part of ,Germany'.

  8. Only from 1814- 1832 the Dutch King was also Great Duke of Luxemburg, but Luxemburg was up to 1866 a part of Germany, never a part oft the Netherlands.
