'''Contern''' ({{langx|lb|Conter}} {{IPA-lb|ˈkontɐ||Lb-Conter.ogg}}) is a [[Communes of Luxembourg|commune]] and town in southern [[Luxembourg]]. It is located east of [[Luxembourg City]].<ref name=":0">{{cite web|title=Contern · Luxembourg|url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Contern/@49.5947604,6.2140656,13z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x4795466014db966b:0x92258163fc931012!8m2!3d49.5845783!4d6.2256543|access-date=2022-02-26|website=Contern · Luxembourg|language=en}}</ref> As of 2024 the commune has a population of 4,513 whereas the town itself, which lies in the south-west of the commune, has a population of 1,876.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://lustat.statec.lu/vis?lc=fr&tm=population%20par%20commune&pg=0&df%5Bds%5D=ds-release&df%5Bid%5D=DF_X021&df%5Bag%5D=LU1&df%5Bvs%5D=1.1&pd=,&dq=A.&vw=tb |access-date=2024-09-20 |website=lustat.statec.lu}}</ref><ref name="data.public.lu">{{Cite web |url=https://data.public.lu/fr/datasets/registre-national-des-personnes-physiques-rnpp-population-par-localite-population-per-locality/ |title=Registre national des personnes physiques RNPP : Population par localité |date=2024-01-07 |website=data.public.lu}}</ref>

The main towns are Contern, [[Moutfort]] and [[Oetrange]] and there are two small villages, [[Medingen, Luxembourg|Medingen]] and Milbech. Additionally the commune contains the [[Lieu-dit|lieux-dits]] of Bricherhaff, [[Brichermillen]], [[Kréintgeshaff]], Kackerterhaff, [[Marxeknupp]] and [[Pleitrange]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Liste des localités avec coordonnées - Portail Open Data |url=https://data.public.lu/fr/datasets/liste-des-localites-avec-coordonnees/ |access-date=2024-01-08 |website=data.public.lu |language=fr}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> The commune also contains the industrial zones of Chaux de Contern, and Rosswenkel, as well as the activity zone of Weiergewan.

The town dates back to around the 9th century and was initially economically focused on farming. Having gone through various changes in governance over the centuries, the commune as it exists today was formed around the 19th century. In recent years Contern has industrialised; however, it mainly functions as a commuter town into Luxembourg City, as do most of the other settlements in the commune. As a result Contern boasts the 10th highest median average salary out of all 102 communes in Luxembourg as of 2022.<ref>https://luxembourg.public.lu/dam-assets/publications/le-luxembourg-en-chiffres/luxembourg-figures.pdf</ref>

== History ==

=== Early history ===
The Romans settled Luxembourg in the 1st century BC, it has been speculated whether or not the settlement of Contern was founded by them or even previously. This has not however been established despite the presence of remnants of Roman infrastructure within the boundaries of today's commune. They include a crossing over the Trudlerbaach, part of the Roman road linking Luxembourg and Dalheim, with remnants of the road passing through the farmstead of Faerschthaff.<ref>Parts of Path and Bridge are displayed on the [https://contern.lu/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/2020-05-27-PAP-QE-Contern-Plan-de-reperage.pdf Contern Plan de Reperage] between am ale Weier and Op der Syrener-Heed some remnants of the path are still in use: [https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/106112239#map=17/49.57478/6.21346 OSM Relation] Retrieved 14th January 2024</ref> In the commune, there are also remains of an ancient Roman aqueduct, a temple and a few Roman villas. Signs of Celtic habitation are significantly less clear. The name Contern first appeared in a charter from 879 AD, although its first official listing was by [[Pope Honorius II]] in 1128. In spite of this it is almost certain Contern dates back to the [[Celts|Celtic]] Era. In the 14th century it was recorded in writing as ''Guntrein.''<ref>{{Cite book |last=Wampach |first=Camille |title=Geschichte der Grundherrschaft Echternach im Frühmittelalter. |publisher=Luxemburger Kunstdruckerei |year=1930 |location=Luxembourg |pages=234–235 |language=Luxembourgish}}</ref> Contern in the 13th century was considerably influenced by Christianity and chivalry. At this time Contern became a parish which led to the construction of its church.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Histoire de la commune |url=https://contern.lu/ma-commune/presentation/histoire-de-la-commune/ |access-date=2024-11-12 |website=Contern |language=fr-FR}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-11-12 |title=In the neighbourhood: Contern, Moutfort & surrounds |url=https://www.luxtimes.lu/yourluxembourg/luxembourgguide/in-the-neighbourhood-contern-moutfort-surrounds/4377358.html |access-date=2024-11-12 |website=Luxembourg Times |language=en}}</ref>

Contern was officially incorporated as a parish in 1621. In 1684, neighbouring Oetrange also became a parish followed by Moutfort in 1707. At the time, the parish of Contern had no [[Lieu-dit|lieux-dits]] although Oetrange was home to the settlement of Kackerterhaff. Moutfort included the settlements of [[Medingen, Luxembourg|Medingen]] and Milbech as well as Moulin de Milbech and the farmstead of [[Pleitrange]].<ref name=":02">{{Cite book |last=Hansen |first=Kevin M. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xfrdjwEACAAJ |title=Map Guide to Luxembourg Parish Registers |publisher=Family Roots Publishing Company |year=2016 |isbn=9781628590807 |pages=138}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Luxembourg Gazetteers |url=https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Luxembourg_Gazetteers |access-date=2023-03-31 |website=www.familysearch.org}}</ref> By 1796 Contern was founded as an Arrondissement, which was home to several localities:

Contern remained an arrondissement until 1912 but prior to its being dissolved, today's commune was formed. Precise details are unknown but the earliest census applicable to Contern with its current boundaries is from 1821 and the oldest archived reference to Contern dates back to 1842 when it was mentioned in a newspaper.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=État de la population {{!}} Population structure - Portail Open Data |url=https://data.public.lu/en/datasets/etat-de-la-population-population-structure/ |access-date=2023-03-31 |website=data.public.lu |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=BnL Viewer 2 |url=https://viewer.eluxemburgensia.lu/ark:70795/zbs69k/pages/1/articles/DTL49?search=Contern |access-date=2023-03-31 |website=viewer.eluxemburgensia.lu}}</ref>

From 1945 onwards, Contern's municipal structure was made up of Contern, Oetrange, Moutfort and Medingen. The parish of Oetrange was absorbed into the parish of Moutfort in 1946. Shortly thereafter in 1948, the parishes of Contern and Moutfort were effectively dissolved.<ref name=":02" /><ref name=":1" />

=== 21st century ===
In November of 2023, the [[DuPont]] chemical plant located partially within Contern threatened to lay off a large portion of its staff.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-11-12 |title=Luxembourg jobs at risk as DuPont de Nemours plans global cuts |url=https://www.luxtimes.lu/businessandfinance/luxembourg-jobs-at-risk-as-dupont-de-nemours-plans-global-cuts/4631923.html |access-date=2024-11-12 |website=Luxembourg Times |language=en}}</ref>

In 2024, a small car park in the town centre beside the church cemetery just off of CR243 Trunk Road was converted into a small pedestrianised square. In May, it was controversially announced that the square would be named “Place de Luc Frieden” in the honour of the sitting primer minister of Luxembourg who has resided in the commune for 30 years. The mayor of Contern, Marion Zovillé-Braquet who was affiliated with Frieden’s party [[Christian Social People's Party|CSV]] states that the naming was by no means political meanwhile councillors of Contern affiliated with [[Democratic Party (Luxembourg)|DP]] stated that naming a square after a sitting prime minister is a “practice common in dictatorships” and that street names should generally be a “Posthumous honour”  of [[Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party|LSAP]] backed up the mayor amid the controversy having already voted in favour of the name in the council meeting.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-11-12 |title=Square dedicated to PM Luc Frieden causes controversy |url=https://www.luxtimes.lu/luxembourg/square-dedicated-to-pm-luc-frieden-causes-controversy/13725063.html |access-date=2024-11-12 |website=Luxembourg Times |language=en}}</ref>

=== Archaeology ===
Although no prominent archaeological sites or artifacts date back to [[Celts|Celtic]] times, much remains from the [[Roman people|Romans]] including some housing ruins and remnants of an [[Roman aqueduct|aqueduct]].<ref name=":5">{{cite web |title=Histoire de la commune |url=https://contern.lu/ma-commune/presentation/histoire-de-la-commune/ |access-date=2022-02-26 |website=Contern |language=fr-FR}}</ref> The most prominent item from the Romans however the Gallo-Roman villa which stood on the current site of the town. Its remains can be seen to this day.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Franziska Dövener - Academia.edu |url=https://independent.academia.edu/FranziskaD%C3%B6vener |access-date=2022-03-02 |website=independent.academia.edu}}</ref>

=== Etymology ===
Following [[World War II]], the Luxembourgers had strong distaste for their former German overseers. This was why almost every place in the country was renamed from its original Luxembourgish name of [[Germanic languages|German origin]], to that of [[French language|French]] origin without changing too much. Contern's name would have stayed Conter if it weren't for the French pronunciation of "er" being far too strong., An "n" was therefore added. It could have been possible to have followed what places like [[Hesperange]] did, but in the end it stuck to the name Contern. In the modern era, to encourage more Luxembougish in the commune, many documents and signs use "Conter" instead of Contern.''{{citation missing|date=November 2024}}''

== Geography ==
[[File:Kackeschbaach.png|thumb|The Kackeschbaach makes up a part of the border between Contern and [[Schuttrange]]]]
The Commune of Contern is located within the [[Cantons of Luxembourg|Canton]] of [[Canton of Luxembourg|Luxembourg]] itself within [[Luxembourg District]].

=== Boundaries ===
Contern is bordered by the communes of [[Sandweiler]] and [[Schuttrange]] to the north, [[Lenningen, Luxembourg|Lenningen]] and [[Bous-Waldbredimus]] to the east, [[Dalheim]] to the south, [[Weiler-la-Tour]] to the southwest and [[Hesperange]] to the west. In general, the borders of Contern are not defined by any major roads of rivers but there are  exceptions. Between [[Eitermillen]] and the border with Sandweiler, the [[Kackeshbaach]] marks the border between Contern and Schuttrange. Between [[Syren, Luxembourg|Syren]] and Brichemillen, the River Syre marks the border with Weiler-La-Tour and east of the Contern-Sandweiler industrial zone, the Réimeschbaach marks the border with Hesperange.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=Municipalities - Geodata of the municipality Contern |url=https://map.geoportail.lu/communes/Contern/communes/?lang=en |access-date=2024-09-23 |website=map.geoportail.lu}}</ref>{{Geographic location|Centre=Contern (Commune)|North=[[Sandweiler]]|Northeast=[[Schuttrange]]|East=[[Bous-Waldbredimus]], [[Lenningen]]|South=[[Dalheim]]|Southwest=[[Weiler-la-Tour]]|West=[[Hesperange]]}}

=== Topography ===
[[File:Ötringen vom "Roude Bësch"aus.jpg|thumb|Typical topography of Contern containing rolling hills, taken from the east of Oetrange]]
Contern covers an area of 20.55 square kilometres, making it, as of 2022,{{Needs update|date=September 2024}} the [[List of communes of Luxembourg by area|54th largest commune]] in [[Luxembourg]] out of 102.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Statistiques |url=https://contern.lu/ma-commune/presentation/statistiques/ |access-date=2024-09-23 |website=Contern |language=fr-FR}}</ref> It had a population of 4374, the [[List of communes of Luxembourg by population|44th highest]] out of 102 communes as of 2023 giving it a population density of 210 people per square kilometre, [[List of communes of Luxembourg by population density|43rd highest]] in Luxembourg. The population has since risen to 4,513 inhabitants.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}}
 
Contern lies within the [[Guttland|Guttland region]] of Luxembourg and covers part of both the [[Luxembourg Plateau]] and [[Moselle Valley]] sub-regions.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-09-23 |title=Luxembourg's territory |url=https://luxembourg.public.lu/en/society-and-culture/territoire-et-climat/territoire.html |access-date=2024-10-22 |website=luxembourg.public.lu |language=en}}</ref> The contrast between the two sub regions gives Contern a varying topography, from the rolling hills in the south, north and west to the sharp sandstone cliffs to the east around Medingen.

Contern is largely centred around the River Syre, which nearly perfectly bisects the commune, and to a lesser extent, its tributaries. The Syre flows north-east from [[Syren, Luxembourg|Syren]] in the commune of [[Weiler-la-Tour]] continuing up to the border with Schuttrange halfway between Oetrange and [[Schrassig]]. Whilst flowing through the commune, it directly bisects both Moutfort and Oetrange and the lieux-dits of Bricherhaff and Brichermillen. There is one tributary of the Syre which directly hosts a settlement, the Kackeschbaach with Eitermillen. The remaining settlements are located atop hills including Contern itself.<ref name=":0" />

=== Climate ===
The nearest place to survey the climate is in Luxembourg City however temperatures likely differ slightly due to the urban heat island effect present in Luxembourg City which isn't felt to the same extent in Contern. Contern has an [[oceanic climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Cfb]]), with moderate precipitation, cold to cool winters and warm summers. It is cloudy about two-thirds of the year.{{Weather box

=== Geology ===
[[File:Sandstone cliff near Medingen, Luxembourg.png|thumb|Large Sandstone cliff near Medingen]]{{Main article|Geology of Luxembourg}}
Being in the [[Guttland|Guttland region]], Contern’s geological structure consists largely of Luxembourg Sandstone with deposits of lime and clay underneath. The rock formations that now surround the River Syre date back to the late [[Triassic period]].<ref>{{cite book |author1=Moores, E.M. |title=Encyclopedia of European & Asian Regional Geology |author2=Fairbridge, Rhodes W. |publisher=Springer |year=1997 |page=515}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=River moulded landscape {{!}} Geschichtsfrënn vun der Gemeng Nidderaanwen |url=https://www.gfn.lu/landschaftspragung-durch-bache/?lang=en |access-date=2024-10-24 |language=en-US}}</ref>

=== Rivers and streams ===
Contern lies exclusively within the [[Rhine basin|Rhine]] and [[Moselle]] basins. Most of Contern’s territory flows into the Moselle through the Syre. A small portion in the northwest of the commune however flows into the Alzette and the Sauer before reaching the Moselle. The Syre itself passes though the commune and is a defining feature of the landscape. It flows southwest to north east but does not pass near the centre of the commune. Instead, it initially runs across the south before turning and running up north. The central and eastern areas of the commune are home to tributaries of the Alzette.

==== Schleederbaach ====

The Schleederbaach, sometimes referred to as the Millebaach, is a brook which flows from the Contern-Sandweiler industrial estate to just west of Moutfort where it meets the Syre. Historically the course of the Schleederbaach was different but was changed by the construction of the industrial zone.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Schleederbaach · Contern, Luxembourg |url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Schleederbaach/@49.5841202,6.2431071,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x479546c0a3aa90bb:0x57c1571137fa83e9!8m2!3d49.5841192!4d6.2453908!16s/g/11bw7lqzzn!5m1!1e2?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAyNy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw== |access-date=2024-10-29 |website=Schleederbaach · Contern, Luxembourg |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Old map |url=https://www.encheres-luxembourg.lu/en/results/janvier-2022-luxemburgensia/lot560-4 |access-date=2024-10-29 |website=www.encheres-luxembourg.lu |language=en-gb}}</ref>

== Economy ==
Contern is a [[commuter town]], largely dependant on [[Luxembourg City|Luxembourg city]] for its economy. Contern however also has a major industrial district which makes up the bulk of Contern’s economic output. As a result of the industry, more people work in the commune than reside in it.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-03-22 |title=Home/work commuting zones within Luxembourg |url=https://statistiques.public.lu/en/recensement/aires-de-trajets-domicile-travail-internes-au-luxembourg.html |access-date=2024-11-19 |website=statistiques.public.lu |language=en}}</ref>

Contern consists of two quite separate industrial zones. Although officially separate, locally they are often considered as one entity, even on road signs. The area where [[Sandweiler-Contern railway station]] is located is home to a lot of commercial infrastructure such as the only fully-fledged [[supermarket]] in the commune, a [[Trampoline Park|trampoline park]] and the commune's only [[gas station]]. A few restaurants and eateries are also located there to serve the local workers. Employing over 5,000, the area is home to more than 110 companies and is quickly growing and attracting new developments.<ref name=":3">{{cite web |title=Les villages et les zones industrielles |url=https://contern.lu/ma-commune/presentation/les-villages-et-les-zones-indstrielles/ |access-date=2022-02-26 |website=Contern |language=fr-FR}}</ref><ref name=":5" />

== Transportation ==
[[File:Contern, Kackeschbësch (est).jpg|thumb|The E29 running through the commune just North of [[Eitermillen]]]]

=== Road ===
Contern is well connected to the road network and links to Luxembourg City. However the only [[dual carriageway]] and officially designated Trunk Road in the commune is the E29.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-09-11 |title=Routes nationales et Chemins Repris |url=https://travaux.public.lu/fr/reseau-routier/routes.html |access-date=2024-10-28 |website=travaux.public.lu |language=fr}}</ref> There are plans in the next five to ten 5–10 years to build a new motorway exit on the Luxembourg Ring to serve Contern and [[Itzig, Luxembourg|Itzig]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-05-25 |title=Vorausschauende Verkehrsplanung. |url=https://www.mywort.lu/fr/mywort/contern/news/vorausschauende-verkehrsplanung-58fe19d1a5e74263e13b0765 |access-date=2024-10-29 |website=mywort.lu |language=fr}}</ref>

The first road infrastructure constructed within the boundaries of the today's commune was also the oldest known instance of any infrastructure in the commune in the form of the [[Roman roads|Roman road]] from Luxembourg City to Dalheim, including a crossing over the [[Trudlerbaach]]. Parts of this road including the river crossing still remain in the locality of op der Syrener-Heed.<ref>https://contern.lu/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/2020-05-27-PAP-QE-Contern-Plan-de-reperage.pdf</ref>

The Commune of Contern is served by [[CFL Line 30]]. There are two stations inside the commune, [[Oetrange railway station|Oetrange Railway Station]] and [[Sandweiler-Contern railway station|Sandweiler-Contern Station]]. The track also passes through Moutfort and Milbech which have no stations. Typically Oetrange is served by two regional trains an hour westboud: one to Luxembourg City westbound and one to [[Wittlich Hauptbahnhof|Wittlich]]; eastboud one to [[Wasserbillig railway station|Wasserbillig]]. Sandweiler-Contern also sees an hourly semi-fast service from Luxembourg to [[Trier Hauptbahnhof|Trier]]/[[Koblenz Hauptbahnhof|Koblenz]]. In addition to Line 30 there is a junction in Oetrange to CFL Line 4 which runs through Moutfort and out of the commune towards Fentange and Berchem on [[CFL Line 60]]. This line is a freight line used by trains to bypass Luxembourg city centre. It has no regular passenger service unless the line between Luxembourg and Oetrange is closed for engineering works.<ref name=":14" /><ref>https://www.cfl.lu/getattachment/77972f23-fc14-4d2f-b8f8-668d8cb043e3/l30-depliant.pdf</ref>

Rail transport initially reached the commune in 1861 when what would become CFL Line 30 was built by Guillaume-Luxembourg. Both stations in the commune today were opened then.<ref name=":132">{{Cite book |last1=Schontz |first1=André |title=Le chemin de fer en Lorraine |last2=Felten |first2=Arsène |last3=Gourlot |first3=Marcel |date=1999 |publisher=Editions Serpenoise |isbn=978-2-87692-414-7 |location=Metz [France]}}</ref><ref name=":142">{{Cite web |title=Train 30 CFL |url=https://www.mobiliteit.lu/en/line/train-30-cfl-2/ |access-date=2024-10-28 |website=Mobilitéit |language=en}}</ref>

== Municipality and governance ==
Contern is a commune which has a local government and therefore a mayor and council. Elections are held every six years alongside all 99 other Luxembourg communes.<ref>{{cite web |title=Vie politique |url=https://contern.lu/ma-commune/vie-politique/ |access-date=2022-02-26 |website=Contern |language=fr-FR}}</ref> The Mayor is currently Marion Zovilé-Braquet.<ref name=":6">{{cite web |title=Le bourgmestre |url=https://contern.lu/ma-commune/vie-politique/le-bourgmestre/ |access-date=2022-02-26 |website=Contern |language=fr-FR}}</ref>
=== Elections ===

==== Electoral system ====
As Contern has a population between 3,000 and 5,999 it elects a total of 11 councillors, including two aldermen and the mayor. Additionally as a result of having a population of over 3,000, municipal elections are held using [[proportional representation]]. Participation is mandatory for Luxembourg citizens and unlike in general elections, non-Luxembourg [[European Union]] citizens are permitted to vote providing they have valid residency.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Principes |url=https://elections.public.lu/fr/systeme-electoral/communales-mode-emploi/principes.html |access-date=2024-09-25 |website=elections.public.lu |language=fr}}</ref>

The mayor is elected and is put in charge of municipal staff, administration, infrastructure, security, emergency services, communications, relations with other communes, schools and sport. In addition the mayor also heads the "le collège Echevinal" and the Municipal Council.<ref name=":6" />

The Collège Echevinal consists of the mayor and his two advisors who have varied responsibilities. The first alderman handles areas including mobility, weather, and fairtrade, while the second alderman oversees the environment, finances and agriculture.<ref>{{cite web |title=Le Collège échevinal |url=https://contern.lu/ma-commune/vie-politique/le-college-echevinal/ |access-date=2022-02-26 |website=Contern |language=fr-FR}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=2017 |title=Schafferotserklarung |url=https://contern.lu/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Schafferotserklarung.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220226181811/https://contern.lu/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Schafferotserklarung.pdf |archive-date=2022-02-26 |website=pdf}}</ref>

The Municipal Council consists of 11 elected members including the two2 aldermen, the mayor and eight councilors. They are the legislators of the municipality. Meetings happen roughly every three months, take place in the town hall and are public unless otherwise stated.<ref>{{cite web |title=Le Conseil communal |url=https://contern.lu/ma-commune/vie-politique/le-conseil-communal/ |access-date=2022-02-26 |website=Contern |language=fr-FR}}</ref>

Elections in Contern occur on three levels. The Municipal elections are held for the local government exclusively within Contern. However Contern also acts as an [[Ward (electoral subdivision)|electoral ward]] for national legislative elections and for elections for the [[European Parliament]].

[[File:Hondsfräi Musekhaus Eiter g.jpg|thumb|The school in [[Oetrange]]]]

==== Education ====
The commune owns and runs a school in the southwest of the town. The commune is delegated with the task of ensuring that Government Mandated Education is enforced, the education budget is controlled, and that the school buses linking the rest of the commune with the school are operational. Many local residents, particularly of secondary school, tend to have their education outside the commune.<ref>{{cite web |title=Service scolaire |url=https://contern.lu/ma-commune/services-communaux/service-scolaire/ |access-date=2022-02-26 |website=Contern |language=fr-FR}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Home |url=https://www.schoul-conter.lu/p/3 |access-date=2022-02-26 |website=Schoul Conter |language=lb}}</ref> There is also a school in Oetrange.

==== Financial ====
The Communal Revenue department manages Contern's taxation, dept and accounting.

==== Emergency services ====
Contern is not home to any hospitals, medical clinics, police stations or fire stations and must rely on neighbouring communes for such services.<ref>{{cite web |title=Service financier |url=https://contern.lu/ma-commune/services-communaux/service-financier/ |access-date=2022-02-26 |website=Contern |language=fr-FR}}</ref>

==== WIFI4EU ====
Contern has worked with the European Commission to bring publicly available [[Wi-Fi|WI-FI]] to certain areas of the commune. These include both the site of the former school and parts of the current one, Prince Charles Park in Oetrange, the park in Moutfort and the Cultural Centre in Medingen. These by no coincidence, are all located within the four main settlements in Contern. There are potentially more areas which meet the criteria set by the European Commission to warrant a new hotspot but none are planned for the moment. WIFI4EU is by no means unique to Contern.<ref>{{cite web |title=WIFI4EU |url=https://contern.lu/citoyens/vie-pratique/wifi4eu/ |access-date=2022-02-27 |website=Contern |language=fr-FR}}</ref>

== Coat of arms ==
[[File:Coat of arms contern luxbrg.png|thumb|The Coat of Arms]]

=== Description ===
The Contern Coat of arms is "Argent a fess wavy Gules charged with three triangles also wavy Or, said fess accompanied in chief by a cross anchored Gules, at the base of a shell Sable."<ref name=":7">{{cite web |title=Les armoiries |url=https://contern.lu/ma-commune/presentation/les-armoiries/ |access-date=2022-02-26 |website=Contern |language=fr-FR}}</ref>

The commune of Contern received its coat of arms on 26 July 1982. These are coats of arms in the shape of a shield divided into three parts, one for each village of the municipality.

* The upper part shows a cross derived from the coat of arms of the lords of Larochette who owned Contern from 1534 to 1731.
* The bars come from the coat of arms of the Grandpré family, lords of Roussy, who were the owners of the villages of Moutfort, Medingen and Pleitrange. The bars undulate to represent the River Syre which runs through the town.
* The lower part shows a shell derived from the coat of arms of the Metternich family to which Oetrange belonged.<ref name=":7" />

=== Usage ===
The Contern Coat of arms is used all over the commune, on the flag, outside official buildings, even on the wheelie bins. Its distinctive looks and colour make it easy to spot.

== Shopping ==
Contern is home to a large number of small businesses which local residents can do their shopping at. This is not only restricted to settlements as the industrial zone is home to the only [[Big-box store|Big Box Store]] in the commune. The other stores consist of but are not limited to grocery stores, drink shops and bakeries. Contern also has a variety of hair salons and pharmacies. Most of these are concentrated around [[Moutfort]] due to the E29 main road slicing the town in twain. The commune is full of mixed use development hence why shops although occasionally found in dedicated shopping districts, are still just as often in residential areas.<ref>{{cite web |title=Vos courses à Contern |url=https://contern.lu/citoyens/vie-pratique/vos-courses-a-contern/ |access-date=2022-02-27 |website=Contern |language=fr-FR}}</ref>

Contern has many cycle paths that are part of regional or national itineries. There are also many unmarked gravel or paved paths which are mostly dedicated to cyclists all across the commune. This includes many paths linking hamlets such as Faerschthaff so that their tractors can access the farm more easily. Motor vehicles excluding tractors are banned from all these paths, but they are open to cyclists.<ref>{{cite web |title=Pistes cyclables |url=https://contern.lu/culture-sports-loisirs/sports/pistes-cyclables/ |access-date=2022-02-27 |website=Contern |language=fr-FR}}</ref>
