Dudelange is a commune with city status in southern Luxembourg, close to the border to France. It is an important industrial town that grew out of the three villages and a steel mill in 1900. One of Dudelange's most notable citizens was the Impressionist painter Dominique Lang (1874–1919).
After the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, Luxembourg was disputed between Prussia and the Netherlands. The Congress of Vienna formed Luxembourg as a Grand Duchy within the German Confederation in personal union with the Netherlands, being at the same time a part of the Netherlands and ruled as one of its provinces, with a Confederate fortress manned by Prussian troops. This situation was revised by the 1839 First Treaty of London, from which date Luxembourg's full independence is reckoned. |
