History[edit]
The first Caritas organisations were founded around Luxembourg at the turn of 20 century, the first one being the Germany Caritas organisation in 1897, followed by Caritas Switzerland in 1901, Caritas Strasbourg in 1902 and Caritas Metz in 1903.
These initatives promoted the idea of federating the charity work of the Catholic Church also in Luxembourg. Several Luxembourgers were member of the German Caritas including Bishop Jean-Joseph Koppes in 1909/1910.
