Amendment of the Bylaws
The law of August 7, 2023, stipulates that all associations must amend their bylaws to comply with the provisions of the new law by September 2025. Our association was therefore also required to undertake this administrative task. During the first extraordinary meeting at 6:00 p.m., it was determined that the quorum required to discuss the amendment to the bylaws had not been reached. A second extraordinary meeting, at which a simple majority was sufficient to approve the amendment to the statutes, was scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Note: According to the new law, the second extraordinary meeting must be held at least two weeks after the first.The president presented the new articles of association one by one. Jean-Claude Schmitz had some relevant amendments, which were accepted by the meeting. The secretary will submit the articles of association to the commercial register.
Visit to the copper mine in Stolzembourg
On May 18, 2025, we visited the copper mine in Stolzembourg. Address: 5 Rue Principale, 9463 Stolzembourg Putscheid.
Stolzembourg is located in the Our Valley, a few kilometers north of Vianden. Since 1749, several attempts have been made to mine copper in Stolzembourg.
The galleries of the Stolzembourg copper mine are located on a total of twelve different levels. The remains of the copper mine are located about 1.5 km from Stolzembourg. Today, visitors can learn about the difficult conditions under which copper ore was mined 50 m below ground. Tools and rock samples are on display in a museum (see Wikipedia).
After visiting the copper mine, we had dinner at the restaurant "Zum Hahn" in Vianden.
