The Commission for Intercultural Living-Together organized a special “games” edition of the Babbelcafé in Mamer. The idea of the Babbelcafé is to bring citizens together, enabling them to meet, get to know each other and exchange ideas in a convivial atmosphere.

At this year’s event, participants also had the opportunity to play board games together, making it even easier to get to know each other.

Many people came to the Mamer Schlass to get to know each other in a fun way, and to forge new friendships in a relaxed atmosphere.

On the occasion of Nature Pact Day, the municipality of Mamer was honored to receive a 50% Naturpakt certification.

The Minister for the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity, Serge Wilmes, presented the award to Alderman Roger Negri.

This recognition reflects the commune of Mamer’s concrete commitment to preserving ecosystems and strengthening ecological resilience at local level.

For several years now, the “MaMer Égalitéit” project has been organized in local schools by the Commission for the Equality of Opportunities, Maison Citoyenne and the Ministry of Gender Equality and Diversity. For one week, workshops on the theme of equality are held in the basic schools of Mamer and Capellen. This year, 360 pupils took part in the project.

One of the topics discussed was: “Stereotypes and violence – Violence is never acceptable”. This workshop was led by the Foyer Sud team. The other major theme was: “Alexa, why are you a woman?” – algorithms can also lead to discrimination. This course also raised awareness of the dangers of artificial intelligence. The expert speaker was Jean-Claude Bisenius from the French Ministry of Gender Equality and Diversity.

Children from both schools participated actively throughout the week, showing great interest in both subjects.

The Commission for Family and Third Age organized a wonderful excursion to Spontin in Belgium.

Departure was early in the morning. On arrival in Spontin, the program included a train ride on the Chemin de Fer du Bocq. Afterwards, participants regained their strength on the Île d’Yvoir before continuing their visit to the Caracole brewery.

All participants were delighted with this little escapade with our Belgian neighbors. By the time we returned in the late afternoon, we could see nothing but satisfied faces.

It was already the fourth edition of the Luxembourg Day, organized each year by the Syndicat d’initiative et de tourisme in collaboration with the commune.

Dat ass Lëtzebuerg” puts our country, its people, culture and products in the spotlight. All day long, the Place de l’Indépendance was bustling with activity under the Skyliner, despite the high temperatures. Several Luxembourg producers offered their products, including honey, beer, liqueurs, meat and crémant.

The musical atmosphere was not to be outdone. The day began with the Sainte Cécile de Mamer choir.

Mayor Luc Feller, accompanied by aldermen Roger Negri and Ed Buchette, alderwoman Francine Closener and members of the local council, then opened the day’s proceedings and praised the Syndicat d’initiative’s initiative.

The music continued with a fine concert by the Harmonie des Jeunes de Mamer (HGM-Jugendharmonie), before Nikki Ninja, accompanied by Afrobeathoven, took the audience under the Skyliner into the world of hip-hop. Visitors then got a taste of Luxembourg folklore, and were even invited to dance by members of the folk group La Ronde. The day ended on a high note with a much-applauded performance by Dëppegéisser.

The Commission for Energy Transition, Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development invited residents to come and build bird feeders under the Skyliner on Place de l’Indépendance in Mamer. The materials needed for construction were provided on site.

During the two-hour event, no fewer than 50 feeders were assembled. Many children accompanied by their parents made the trip to the church square to do something good for the environment and local birds.

Participants could count on the help of committee members to assemble the feeders. By midday, all the equipment had been used. In return, many satisfied faces could be seen.

As every year, the Commune de Mamer once again invited the heads of local associations to the Fête du bénévolat.

At 7.00 pm, guests arrived under the Skyliner in Independence Square. The weather was pleasant. It was warm. The aperitif was just in time. The atmosphere was good. There was a lot of chatter and laughter.

Mayor Luc Feller, aldermen Roger Negri and Ed Buchette, alderwoman Francine Closener and members of the town council also joined the Skyliner to celebrate with the associations.

The mayor gave an overview of the projects underway that will benefit the associations. He was delighted by the number of active and, above all, successful clubs in the commune. He also praised the commitment of the associations, saying that they make a major contribution to making the commune so dynamic. He thanked the clubs and announced his intention to maintain close cooperation with them in the future.

In a convivial atmosphere, buoyed by mild temperatures and a top-notch musical program, the visitors took full advantage of the great popular festival on the occasion of National Day to spend a few pleasant hours in good company.

The traditional concert by the Harmonie Gemeng Mamer, accompanied by the vocal trio Chantal Kirsch, Kim Girrens and Luc Guillaume, was particularly well received by the audience. As a prelude to the main concert, the bands Esancy, Laurent Unchained and The Cookies had already set the mood in the square.

FC Mamer 32 was in charge of catering and counters.

The highlight of the evening was once again the fireworks display behind the Mamer Schlass. Accompanied by music, the pyrotechnic show brought the festivities to a spectacular close.

On the eve of National Day, the Commune of Mamer traditionally organizes a large reception for its citizens.

After the procession and the Te Deum celebrated in the Mamer church, and the tributes paid on the square in front of the commune, the residents were invited to gather on the forecourt of the Mamer Schlass to spend a pleasant moment together in glorious weather. A large number of residents took up the invitation. The atmosphere was excellent throughout the evening.

True to tradition, the Commune de Mamer was keen to salute the sportsmen and women who finished the season with a national title or outstanding performance.

The ceremony took place during the Nuit du Sport at Brill Park, and honored the ladies of VC Mamer, KC Avenir Holzem and the gentlemen of FC Mamer 32.

Tom Kerschenmeyer, Chairman of the Sports and Leisure Commission, looked back on the highlights of the year: the volleyball team’s historic hat-trick, the bowlers’ Luxembourg Cup victory, as well as FC Mamer 32’s promotion to the BGL League and Promotion d’Honneur title.

Mayor Luc Feller, flanked by aldermen Roger Negri and Ed Buchette, and alderwoman Francine Closener, underlined the municipality’s pride in its clubs, highlighting the associations’ commitment to sport, team spirit and good management.

The ceremony concluded with a presentation of flowers to the ladies and a bottle to the gentlemen.

The Fête de la Musique under the Skyliner in Mamer was once again a great success at Place de l’Indépendance. No fewer than 19 musical groups ensured a festive atmosphere throughout the three-day event. The festivities got off to a flying start with a concert featuring some 100 cycle 3 pupils from the Mamer and Capellen schools. Right from the start, the square in front of the church was packed to the rafters.

The second day, dedicated to Cuban rhythms, attracted an equally large crowd. The spectacular “Sons of Buena Vista” concert set the stage alight, preceded by a number of groups and singers who created a real festival atmosphere in Independence Square.

The party continued on the third day, with a program as dynamic as ever. The Newcomer Stage, set up at the entrance to the square, also attracted a large audience. Special mention should be made of the tea dance organized at the Centre intégré pour personnes âgées, which was a great success.

The Fête de la Musique drew to a close with an energetic concert by Luxembourg band “Dream Catcher”, accompanied by “The Big Gang Theory”, bringing to a close three memorable days of musical celebration.

In fine weather, many people found their way to Brill Park again this year to take part in the Nuit du Sport.

A total of 17 local associations took part in the event, enabling visitors to discover their sporting disciplines. Children, in particular, were delighted with the many workshops on offer. The Sports and Leisure Commission had, as in previous years, distributed stamp cards so that everyone could keep track of the activities they had tried. As a result, entertainment was in full swing in the park, and the atmosphere was excellent. Catering was also perfectly organized. At the entrance to the park, the organizers had set up a village of foodtrucks.

Mayor Luc Feller, accompanied by aldermen Roger Negri and Ed Buchette, alderwoman Francine Closener and members of the local council, took a tour of the site.

Organized as part of the MAM Art Festival, the “Contrasts” exhibition by artist Iva Mrazkova, on view until September in Brill Park, features steel sculptures playing on contrasts of material, light and environment.

Mayor Luc Feller, flanked by the Ambassador of the Czech Republic, H.E. Mrs. Barbara Karpetová, Aldermen Roger Negri and Ed Buchette, and members of the local council, recalled that Iva Mrazkova is no stranger to Mamer, having already taught art classes at the municipal school.

He stressed that art should not be confined to museums and exhibition halls, but should also find its place in the public space. This is already the third exhibition of its kind to be held in Mamer, under the impetus of the cultural commission and its president Lydie Bintener.

Iva Mrazkova, who has lived and worked in Luxembourg since 1989, took the opportunity to present her work to the public, explaining the ideas behind it and the materials used.

Around 25 people took part in the citizen’s forum entitled “Produce your own electricity and manage it well”. The aim of the event was to raise awareness of climate issues and develop concrete solutions.

Alderman Roger Negri welcomed the participants. He stressed the importance of electricity management in the context of climate change and explained, among other things, that the municipality could only contribute a maximum of five percent to reducing the ecological footprint. The greatest responsibility lies with households. This is why information and awareness-raising initiatives are essential.

After taking part in a short quiz on electricity consumption and the climate, and receiving explanations about the Climate Pact, participants were divided into groups to analyze different aspects of the subject and develop proposals for solutions. The workshops were led by members of the Mamer Climate Pact team, Norry Schneider from CELL, and Lars Linster, climate consultant at Schroeder & Associés. The participants were actively involved and developed many interesting ideas, which will be examined by policy-makers.

Mayor Luc Feller, alderman Ed Buchette and members of the local council were also present at this interesting forum.

CIPA once again celebrated a 90th birthday. Andrée Letsch-Gilson, nicknamed “Daisy” by family and friends, was born on the 2nd of June 1935, in Mamer. The dynamic nonagenarian was married twice. After the death of her first husband, a baker from Hollerich, she remarried a few years later to a letter carrier from Esch-sur-Alzette, with whom she lived in Leudelange. On the death of her second husband in 2004, Andrée Letsch-Gilson returned to her home town of Mamer. For the past two years, she has been living at CIPA, where she feels very much at home.

Trained as a milliner, she nevertheless worked for many years at the post office counter. She sang in the Mamer choir for 48 years. As well as singing, her passions are flowers and baking.

Mrs. Letsch had no children of her own, but she is surrounded by nine nieces and nephews, several of whom came to CIPA to celebrate her birthday.

Mayor Luc Feller was also on hand to congratulate the jubilarian on behalf of the commune.

FC Mamer 32’s women’s team had once again reached the final of this year’s Luxembourg Cup. And it was none other than the defending champions, Racing Union Luxembourg, who awaited them. After a hard-fought match, however, the Mamer players lost 0-4.

Several hundred spectators made the trip to Bettembourg, where the final was played. The mayor of Mamer, Luc Feller, alderman Roger Negri and members of the town council were also on hand to cheer on the team, along with numerous Mamer supporters.

The commune of Mamer is proud of the achievements of the FC Mamer 32 players in the Cup and wishes the whole team every success for the coming season.

It’s now a tradition. Every two years, before the Whitsun vacations, the basic schools of Mamer and Capellen, in collaboration with the local council, organize a Fairtrade race for a good cause.

While the race took place two years ago in Brill Park, this year the pupils completed laps on the Kinneksbond campus. The day before, cycle 1 children in Capellen had already completed their laps. In all, some 870 children from cycles 1 to 4 took part in the sporting event.

The aim, however, was not to set the fastest time, but to complete as many laps around the campus as possible. For each loop completed, at least 2 euros were donated by the runner’s family or friends. Each student could decide for themselves how many laps they wished to complete. Donations collected in this way will be used to support small farmers in the South, helping to promote fair trade.

Mayor Luc Feller, Alderman Roger Negri and the President of the School Commission, Nadine Schmid, were on hand to watch the show and cheer on the runners, who also included Fairtrade Luxembourg President Jean-Louis Zeien.

The first edition of the Smart Café, organized by the Commission de la Famille et du Troisième Âge, in collaboration with the Maison des Jeunes Henri Trauffler and the Golden Me association, was a great success.

Throughout the afternoon, over coffee and cake, the seniors had the opportunity to ask the experts how their phones, tablets and laptops work. Alongside Golden Me expert Anne Frausing, several young people from the Maison des Jeunes de Mamer also volunteered to help the seniors. The aim of the event is to bring people aged 55 and over closer to the digital world.

The Mamer Schlass village hall attracted many visitors. The atmosphere was excellent. The initiative was warmly welcomed by participants. As a result, the committee plans to organize Smart Cafés on a more regular basis.

Repair Cafés are a great success – even in the municipality of Mamer. They are organized regularly in Mamer, Capellen and Holzem by the Commission for Energy Transition, Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development.

The latest Repair Café in Holzem was mainly dedicated to bicycle repair and sewing. But many visitors also brought along other appliances such as fans, vacuum cleaners, lamps, etc. While the experts tried to bring the objects back to life, participants could either enjoy a nice cup of coffee and a piece of cake, or watch the repairers at work.

The atmosphere was lively in the Holzem village hall, and many visitors left with a repaired appliance, item of clothing or bicycle under their arm. Alderman, Ed Buchette, was also present at the event in his capacity as chairman of the commission.

The Commission for Energy Transition, Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development organized two walks in the local forests as part of its “A day in nature” initiative.

During the walks, which last around two hours, participants learn a great deal about the country’s native birds.

Raoul Mettenhoven, ornithologist with natur&ëmwelt, shared a wealth of interesting information about birds with the 30 or so participants in the first walk. Before setting off, small booklets with photos, names and descriptions of the birds were handed out.

The municipality was represented by the alderman and chairman of the commission, Ed Buchette, as well as by members of the local council, who also took part in this instructive walk.

KlimaForum Mamer recently celebrated its 30th anniversary at the Mamer Schlass village hall.

In collaboration with ASTM, the film The Illusion of Abundance was shown, highlighting the environmental and social challenges of our time.

Founded following the unanimous decision of the local council in November 1994 to join Klimabündnis Lëtzebuerg, KlimaForum was set up in June 1995 as an independent, politically neutral structure with the mission of providing information on active climate protection and promoting fair trade, while offering citizens concrete courses of action.

On this anniversary evening, Chairman Jemp Weydert recounted the highlights of the past three decades. Mayor Luc Feller, Aldermen Roger Negri and Ed Buchette were also present, along with several members of the local council, to pay tribute to the work accomplished.

In his speech, Luc Feller praised the association’s long-standing commitment, underlining the importance of its many impulses in the field of sustainable development. He described the municipality of Mamer as environmentally conscious, actively investing in sustainability and climate protection.

He also spoke of KlimaForum’s role as an important voice on these issues within the community. To round off the evening, a birthday cake was served.

After an 18-year wait, FC Mamer 32 have confirmed their return to the BGL League. As soon as the final whistle blew, there was an immediate explosion of joy: young players, supporters and committee members took to the field to celebrate this historic moment alongside the team and coach Dean Leen.

By winning this decisive match, FC Mamer not only secured their place in the National Division, but also ended the season at the top of the standings, clinching the title of Promotion d’Honneur champion.

Among the first to congratulate the team were Mayor Luc Feller, accompanied by Aldermen Roger Negri and Ed Buchette, as well as Alderwoman Francine Closener and several members of the town council.

The Minister of Finance, Gilles Roth, was also on hand to cheer on his home team in the final meters.

In his speech, Mayor Luc Feller, accompanied by Adermen Roger Negri, Ed Buchette and Alderwoman Francine Closener, recalled the importance of Europe Day, celebrated every May 9 to commemorate the Schuman Declaration of 1950, the starting point of European integration. Luc Feller insisted on the fact that in Mamer, this European idea is lived out on a daily basis by a community made up of many nationalities, united by common values of solidarity and openness.

Around the Mamer Schlass, visitors could discover stands, foodtrucks, entertainment and enjoy a pleasant concert by the Harmonie de la Commune de Mamer. Alongside workshops dedicated to Croatia, the stands of the Commissions for Social Inclusion, Intercultural Living Together and Equal Opportunities also attracted attention, reinforcing the message of unity and social cohesion.

La Maison Citoyenne took advantage of the occasion to present the “ReciPeace” cookbook, a collection of international recipes testifying to the sharing and meeting of cultures.

With a 3-0 (25:18, 25:17, 25:11) victory in Walferdange in the second match of the national championship final, the ladies of Volley Club Mamer achieved an unprecedented feat: the Cup – Super Cup – Championship treble in one season.

Buoyed by their battle cry of “1 goal, 3 titles” and having already won the first match of this final by best of three sets, the Mamer team dominated their opponents from RSR Walferdingen, who had won seven consecutive championships in recent years.

This new title, the first championship since 2016, marks the culmination of an exceptional season. In the stands, the mood was just as euphoric. By the end of the match, confetti was raining down on heads and champagne was flowing onto the pitch.

Also at the heart of the festivities were Finance Minister Gilles Roth, Mayor Luc Feller, Aldermen Roger Negri and Ed Buchette and several members of the local council, who shared in the joy of the players, the committee and the fans.

The commune of Mamer, in collaboration with the local table tennis club DT Amicale Mamer, organized an exhibition match for the inauguration of the new table tennis room in the basement of the school swimming pool, pitting Luka Mladenovic against Aaron Sahr, one of the country’s young prodigies in the sport. The match was refereed by Pol Pierret, one of the world’s top referees, who, like Luka Mladenovic, took part in the Paris Olympic Games.

The two exceptional players thrilled the audience, which included Mayor Luc Feller, accompanied by Aldermen Roger Negri and Ed Buchette, Alderwoman Francine Closener and members of the local council.

Spectators and the President of the national Table Tennis Federation, Charles Muller, were also invited to play a few balls with the athletes.

In his speech, the mayor explained the new infrastructure. He praised the performance not only of the athletes, but also of the referee. Luc Feller said he was proud of the DT Amicale Mamer, which stands out not only for its sporting success, but also for its social commitment.

After the match, which lasted around an hour, fans were able to ask the players for autographs. A line formed in front of their table, and many satisfied faces could be seen on the way out.

At the Kinneksbond Cultural Center in Mamer, many children aged 4 to 10 helped a fox find inspiration to write a book.

Dany Gales (concept, acting, puppets), Anne Kaftan (clarinet), Franck Hemmerlé (percussion) and Georges Urwald (piano) accompanied the children on this adventure, taking them and the audience on a wonderful journey to the heart of art and imagination. The atmosphere was excellent. The youngsters participated enthusiastically, so that the fox could finally realize his dream.

Alongside Aldermen Roger Negri, Ed Buchette and Alderwoman Francine Closener and members of the local council, guests enjoyed a pleasant evening in good company.

The Family and Senior Citizens Commission organized a conference at the Mamer Schlass on the legal role of children in the event of parental separation.

Mee-Ran Borri, a lawyer based in Mamer and an expert in family law, inheritance law and children’s rights, shed light on the often complex issues involved in separation. What rights do children have when their parents separate? What obligations do parents have, whether married or not? These were just some of the questions Ms. Borri answered with clarity and humanity, emphasizing the best interests of the child as the cornerstone of any legal decision in this area.

The audience, which included Mayor Luc Feller, Alderwoman Francine Closener and members of the local council, gained a better understanding of the protections provided by the law and the importance of dialogue in delicate family situations.

The market’s spring opening was celebrated on Place de l’Indépendance, next to the church.

As usual, the tombola was a great success, so that no-one left empty-handed.

On the Drëps site, the forestry school (“Bëschschoul”) was inaugurated.

The principle is simple: leave the classroom and immerse yourself in nature. For a few mornings each week, several upper-cycle classes, under the direction of Claude Greiveldinger, discover a nature-based pedagogy.

According to mayor Luc Feller – accompanied by aldermen Roger Negri, Ed Buchette and alderwoman Francine Closener at the inauguration – the Bëschschoul marks a new stage in the educational approach offered to the municipality’s pupils.

This type of pedagogy, based on experience and respect for nature, not only supports learning processes, but also encourages autonomy, cooperation and creativity, explained Claude Greiveldinger, head of the Bëschoul.

Some forty people spent a wonderful Sunday taking part in the excursion to “Gondwana – Das Praehistorium” in Schiffweiler (Germany), organized by the Family and Senior Citizens Commission.
