Léon Thyes (1899–1978), teacher and writer.
Born in Luxembourg City in 1899, Léon Thyes taught languages and wrote books such as 'Des Romans de Boylesve' (1934) and 'Les Chroniques de Jean-Marie Durand' (1977). His father was the painter André Thyes, known for landscapes in impressionist and pointillist style. We have not yet found out when the city named this Kirchberg street after him.
