Countess Ermesinde (1186–1247).

Countess of Luxembourg until her death, she is best known today for granting a charter of freedoms to several towns: Echternach in 1236, Thionville in 1239 and the city of Luxembourg in 1244. She also handed the running of the country to officials. Streets in Echternach, Mamer, Steinfort, Sanem and here in Limpertsberg are named after her.
