Tuntange (French pronunciation: [tœ̃tɑ̃ʒ]; Template:Lang-lb; Template:Lang-de) is a small town in western Luxembourg, in the canton of Mersch.
Until 31 December 2017, it was a commune. On 1 January 2018, the commune was merged with Boevange-sur-Attert to form the new commune of Helperknapp.
Former commune
The former commune consisted of the villages:
- Ansembourg
- Bour
- Hollenfels
- Marienthal
- Tuntange (seat)
- Claushof (lieu-dit)
- Kalbacherhof (lieu-dit)
- Marienthalerhof (lieu-dit)
Coat of arms
The arms were granted on January 25, 1983.
The field with its single charge, a buckle, is derived from the arms of the Lords of Hollenfels, as the village was part of the Hollenfels Estate. The chief symbolizes the three castles in the town; the Hollenfels Castle and the Old Castle of Ansembourg and New Castle of Ansembourg.
