A historical topographic map from the early 19th century, the Tranchot and v. Müffling map covers most of the German part of the Greater SaarLorLux Region. Müffling covers most of the German part of the Greater SaarLorLux Region. Together with the Cassini Map for the French part and the Ferraris Map for Wallonia and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the situation before the revolutionary changes by the industrial revolution can be represented for most of the Greater SaarLorLux Region. In order to explain the map of Tranchot and v. Müffling for the GR-Atlas extracts from Carl, Marie-Luise 2004: "Der Hintergrund zur Kartenaufnahme der Rheinlande durch Tranchot und von Müffling im Spiegel einer Inschrift", largely based on Schmidt, R. 1973 and Effertz, P. 1990, are assembled here.

In 2008, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg had 238 service stations, of which 167 (almost three-quarters) were located in the immediate vicinity of the country's border. Luxembourg's relatively small surface area suggests that the service stations are all close to the border. However, there are disparities: in the interior of the country, the location of service stations depends for the most part on the geographical distribution of the population and the main transport network. The density of service stations is high in the region of Luxembourg City, the centre and main crossroads of the Grand Duchy where the A1, A3, A4 and A6 radial motorways converge, as well as in the densely populated areas of the south of the country, crossed from east to west by the A13. In the north of the country, however, where the population is lower and the transport infrastructure is still underdeveloped, there are fewer service stations. As the main road north of Ettelbruck is only a national road (N7), this region has no motorway access to neighbouring countries. [less ▲]

Cross-border peri-urban public transport is primarily a reflection of daily migration between the labour markets of the different parts of the Greater Region. between the labour markets of the different parts of the Greater Region. Of the 196,000 commuters (2008), about 15% now use cross-border public transport, which has been steadily expanded in recent years. But 85% still use their car, which often offers time advantages for long connections, especially in the case of public transport transfers with changes. Although trains and buses are commonly used for different trips (shopping, excursions, etc.), the concentration of traffic hours usually observed at the beginning and end of the day suggests that day-trippers are the main users. The main purpose of the cross-border lines is to serve Luxembourg (where the labour market has developed considerably in recent decades) from the former industrial areas of Lorraine, Longwy and Thionville, Wallonia, the Trier region and Saarland.

Die Karte stellt die Verbreitung der Varianten des Familiennamens Glesener / Glaser / Glasmacher in der Großregion SaarLorLux dar. Sie ist ein Beispiel für Ergebnisse des FNR-Projektes "Luxemburgischer Familiennamenatlas" (LFA, Peter Gilles). Der Teilraum Lothringen ist bisher noch unberücksichtigt. Das Ziel des "Luxemburgischen Familiennamenatlas" (LFA) besteht darin, die Verbreitung der Familiennamen in Luxemburg und in den Nachbarregionen zu dokumentieren, um in einem zweiten Schritt eventuelle Rückschlüsse auf die Sprach- und Siedlungsgeschichte und auf Phänomene des historischen Sprachkontakts schließen zu können. Auch soll herausgefunden werden, welche Familiennamen typisch für Luxemburg sind und ob bzw. worin sich diese von Namen in anderen Untersuchungsgebieten unterscheiden. [less ▲]

Coal mining plays a special role in the creation of the Greater Region. After the Second World War, the Schuman Plan, which provided for mutual control of the production of coal and steel (important products for the conduct of the war) and the maintenance of these production factors, which were indispensable for reconstruction, led in 1951 to the signing of the ECSC Treaty (European Coal and Steel Community), which constituted the first stage in the construction of the European Union. The "Saar-Lor-Lux" region drawn up in 1969 by Hubertus Rolshoven, Chairman and CEO of Saarbergwerke AG, was the "preliminary stage" of the Greater Region institutionalised in 1980; this mining region was integrated into the cross-border triangle of Saarland, Lorraine and Luxembourg.

Founded on the initiative of Father Brocquart, with the support of Governor Berlaymont, the chapel of Our Lady, Consoler of the Afflicted, became in the space of only a few years, the shrine of the Lady, Consoler of the Afflicted, has become, in the space of a few years, the most visited shrine in the the most visited shrine in the region. Its influence was such that the cult was exported to the regions bordering the duchy. In 1626, the miraculous healing of Jacques Brocquart, who was suffering from the plague, caused such a stir that pilgrims flocked from the four corners of the duchy to ask for a divine favour, even before the chapel was completed. The aim of the map is to highlight the spatial dimension of the reports on the miracles of Notre Dame de Luxembourg during the first half of the 17th century. [less ▲]
