The City of Luxembourg (Ville de Luxembourg - VdL) has announced that it is organising an open days event on the site of the former slaughterhouse (Schluechthaus) in Luxembourg-Hollerich on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 March 2022.
Various activities, workshops and stands are planned for this "Meet @ Schluechthaus" two-day event.
From 11:00 to 17:00 on both days, the City of Luxembourg is organising a range of cultural, sporting and leisure activities for all ages and tastes, including colouring and crafts, games, mini cycling / scooter circuit, skateboarding discovery workshops, dancing and a graffiti workshop. Also on the agenda are guided tours on the history of the former slaughterhouse, a presentation of the Luxembourg Red Cross emergency services and information stands of various associations in the Hollerich district.
Practical information
Dates: 19 and 20 March 2022, 11:00 - 17:00
Address: 5 Rue de l'Abattoir, L-1111 Luxembourg
Access: P+R Bouillon / AVL 15 line ("Schluechthaus" bus stop)

Snacks and drinks on site (cash payment only).
The open days will take place under the CovidCheck 3G regime and in accordance with the rules in force at the time of the event; CovidCheck certificates will be checked before entering the site.
These open days form part of a large pre-work enhancement and revitalisation programme dedicated to the "Schluechthaus" with the objective of implementing, during a test phase, the ideas and desires collected within the framework of citizen participation on the future use of the site, organised in September 2019.
The Schluechthaus site, with an area of around 2.5 hectares (including green spaces), belongs to the City of Luxembourg. The activity of the former slaughterhouse ceased in 1997 and since then the site has housed the VdL Sports Department, a skate park as well as several storage halls.
The Schluechthaus will be the subject of an architectural competition planned for later this year, with a view to its redevelopment.
