A green, dynamic residential municipality
Contern stands out for its good balance between residential life, nature and economic activity.
The four localities offer complementary atmospheres. Contern is the main administrative and residential centre, Moutfort also offers many services and facilities, while Medingen and Oetrange keep more of a village character.
The municipality is still largely surrounded by farmland, forests and nature reserves, which allows it to keep a peaceful setting despite its proximity to Luxembourg City.
Two business parks are also home to more than a hundred companies and several thousand jobs, greatly strengthening the local economy.
Schools and family life
Contern has a well-structured offer for families.
The Um Ewent primary school welcomes the municipality's children and is complemented by a Maison Relais located directly on the school site. The municipality also has several crèches and childcare facilities, notably in Contern and Moutfort.
A school transport service links the different localities to the campus, while a network of safe school routes also encourages children to walk to school.
Sports facilities and community life further strengthen the municipality's family-friendly character.
Shops and services
Contern has a number of shops, restaurants, and medical and professional services, mainly in Contern and Moutfort.
The business parks are also an important hub for companies and employment.
The proximity of Luxembourg City, Kirchberg and the airport also gives quick access to a particularly comprehensive range of shops and services.
The municipality thus keeps a residential atmosphere while remaining very close to the country's main economic hubs.
Transport and mobility
Mobility is a real asset for Contern.
The municipality is served by CFL railway line 30, with the Oetrange and Sandweiler-Contern stations, providing access to Luxembourg City and the east of the country.
Several bus lines complete this offer, and the municipality also runs the Conti Bus, a local service covering its entire territory.
The proximity of the A1 motorway also makes journeys to Luxembourg City, Kirchberg, the airport and Germany easier.
Leisure, culture and setting
The municipality enjoys a particularly pleasant natural setting of forests, farmland, springs and protected areas.
Contern also has a very active cultural and community life. It is known in particular for its International Comic Strip Festival, one of the municipality's signature events.
Sports facilities, local clubs and walking paths offer residents plenty of activities.
