Limpertsberg

Batty Weber (1860–1940), writer and journalist.

From 1913 to 1940 he wrote the 'Abreißkalender', a daily column in the Luxemburger Zeitung: more than 7,000 pieces in all. In 1909 he coined the idea of a 'Mischkultur', a mixed culture, to describe Luxembourg society. Luxembourg's national literary prize, the Batty Weber Prize, named after him, has been awarded since 1987. He is buried in the Notre-Dame cemetery in Limpertsberg.
