Red Lands
The Red Lands form a geographic region in southern and south-western
Esch-sur-Alzette, along the border with France. Geologically, the Red Lands are sedimentary, mostly sandstones and conglomerates, formed in the Middle Jurassic
epoch.
As one of the most prodigious iron-producing regions in Western Europe, the Red Lands developed a thriving local
industrial decline, the Red Lands have diversified into production of construction materials, engineering services, and chemical manufacturing. The region is the most densely populated part of Luxembourg, with several of Luxembourg's largest towns and cities, including Bettembourg, Differdange, Dudelange, Esch-sur-Alzette, Kayl, and Schifflange
, all of which have populations in excess of 7,000 people.
