Luxembourg is characterized by phenomena of mobility that includecross-border commuters and residential migrants. While both groups havebeen mainly examined from a socioeconomic perspective, this paperadopts a sociocultural approach. We will focus on the question of the ex-tent to which cross-border mobility in everyday life promotes cross-borderlifeworlds. This will involve examining people’s social contacts at theirplace of work and/or place of residence as well as the spatial organizationof practices of the everyday life of both groups. The paper gives insights in-to everyday lives at the EU’s internal borders, whose organization into na-tion states is subordinate and at the same time constitutive. [less ▲]

Luxembourg is characterized in a remarkable manner by mobility phenomena, com-posed by cross-border workers as well as residential migrants. While the predominant analyses of both these groups take mainly into consideration socio-economical as-pects, this article takes a socio-cultural perspective. Therefore, we will concentrate on the following question: to what extent does cross-border mobility in everyday life promote the development of cross-border lifeworlds at the Luxembourgish border? Thus, the development of social contacts at the workplace and/or place of residence as well as the spatial organisation of practices of everyday life of cross-border workers and residential migrants will be examined. Based on quantitative and qualitative find-ings from different studies, both aspects referring to the analysed groups will be dis-cussed and related to each other. This paper gives insights into lifeworlds at European internal frontiers, for which national state formations are subordinate and at the same time constitutive. [less ▲]

Hinsichtlich des demographischen Wandels und des Geburtenrückgangs in einigen Teilen der Großregion SaarLorLux ist die Migration in den vergangenen Jahren immer bedeutsamer geworden. Auch das zurzeit zu beobachtende Bevölkerungswachstum in der Großregion ist in erster Linie auf erhebliche Wanderungsgewinne zurückzuführen. <br />So belief sich zwischen 1990 und 2006 die Nettozuwanderung in die Großregion auf 558 500 Personen, wobei jedoch das Wanderungsgeschehen in unterschiedlichem Ausmaß in den einzelnen Teilregionen die Bevölkerungsentwicklung beeinflusste.
