About Hamm district
Village charm and an industrial past
On a plateau in the east of the capital lies the district of Hamm. A surprisingly large district for its little over 1,500 inhabitants.
Today’s Hamm started out small. Back in 1796, there were just 90 people living here. Although tiny in terms of population, Hamm – shown on maps at the time as Hamme – had long been of strategic importance. In Roman times, there was a guardhouse here that controlled access to the Alzette valley. The French troops of King Louis XIV also recognised the strategic importance of Hamm, setting up their military camp outside the city walls here in 1684, with the intention of conquering the fortress and Luxembourg as the Gibraltar of the North. Hamm is first mentioned in a deed of sale from 1243.
