About Rollingergrund district
Up until the 1930s, the Rollingergrund district, in the far north-west of Luxembourg City, was a rural idyll.
Flower and vegetable growers had settled on the fertile land, taking their produce to the weekly markets in horse-drawn carts and handcarts.
In their heyday, there were eighteen farms and nurseries in the Rollingergrund district alone, the most famous of which those of internationally acclaimed rose-breeders Ketten and Soupert. There was also a brush factory here, as well as a large distillery, a vinegar factory and the legendary Wäschfrae vun Siwenbueren, the washerwomen of the seven springs (Septfontaines), who transported freshly washed laundry to the city every day in wheelbarrows and horse-drawn carts.
