The history of migration to and from Luxembourg can be divided into distinct phases. During the period from 1840 to 1890, Luxembourg was clearly a country of emigration, with a large pre-industrial economy and archaic socio-economic structures.[1]

The second major period was from 1890 to 1940; during thus period, the industrial revolution was turning Luxembourg into one of the richest economies in Europe.[1] In this phase, on the whole one can observe a migration balance that is more in equilibrium, which comes from an alternating of strong periods of immigration and emigration.[1]

After World War II, the phenomenon of emigration from Luxembourg began to die off.[1]

Emigration to the Americas

Within the first phase mentioned above, there were several highpoints to be mentioned: the periods of 1852-1857, 1866-1873, and 1885-1890 saw emigration to the American continent, particularly the United States, proceed at full speed.[1]

1900-1913 was the last big wave of Luxembourgish emigration to the United States.[1] Emigration to America would continue in the interwar period, but to a lesser extent.[1]
