Named after Saint Crispin.
The lane here is the 'Crispinusbierg', officially Montée Saint-Crépin. Near the spot where the rue des Glacis meets the Côte d'Eich, a figure known as 'Krispines', also called Péiter Onrou, sits in a rock cave. Crispin and his brother Crispinian, martyred around 286, are the patron saints of tanners, saddlers and shoemakers. Luxembourg's shoemakers used to hold their patronal feast around 25 October, the saints' day.
