Michael, Trier was part of old Duchy of Luxembourg for a long time until *1815* when the Prussians took the Third Partition as the result of the Congress of Vienna of 1815. Even lots of old maps show Trier in Luxembourg. *Grand* Duchy of Luxembourg began in 1867. I have access to the map book of Luxembourg and so many maps showed Trier as part of Luxembourg region. In fact Luxembourg's territory was much larger before the Austrians, Spanish, French started chipping away the lands before 1698. W.
