Vim a descobrir na viagem que fiz este Verão ao Luxemburgo que Schengen é uma pequena vila luxemburguesa! Bem que a tentei visitar mas, curiosamente, uma cidade que inspirou a abertura das fronteiras estava fechada ao trânsito no principal acesso de entrada, por a querer visitar no dia em que, por coincidência o Acordo fazia anos.
Esta vila fica pertíssimo da fronteira com a Alemanha e não muito longe da França: in far south-eastern Luxembourg, near the tripoint where the borders of Germany, France, and Luxembourg meet. As of 2005, the village has a population of 1527 with an area of 10.63 km². The village became famous on 14 June 1985, when the Schengen Agreement was signed. To use this name recognition, the council of the commune of Remerschen decided on 18 January 2006 to rename the commune to Schengen. The Chamber of Deputies voted on 13 July 2006 a law allowing the change of name, which was published on 30 August 2006. The law took effect three days later, and the name of the commune of Remerschen was changed to Schengen as of 3 September 2006.
