ABOUT THE TOWN OF THIONVILLE

Thionville is home to numerous talented photographers, and opportunities for striking imagery are abundant.

Thionville is a French commune in the Moselle department of the Grand Est region. Its inhabitants, known as Thionvillois, numbered 40,586 in 2016. As a result, it is the second most populous town in the department. In 2016, its urban area had a population of 133,513, and its labour market area had a population of 224,460.

As a departmental sub-prefecture and the administrative centre of the urban community, Thionville is culturally situated in Lorraine and, more specifically, in the Thionville region, to the north of the Moselle valley. This former steel-producing town also benefits from its proximity to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Thionville is a town with a distinguished history, having belonged to the Carolingians, the Luxembourgs, the Burgundians, the Habsburgs and, finally, the French. After numerous sieges, the town fell to Louis XIV, notably following the Treaty of the Pyrenees (1659). Each ruling power left its mark on urban planning and, above all, military defences, as Thionville has always held strategic importance due to its location. Numerous architects have enhanced the town’s defensive capabilities. The ramparts were demolished by the Germans in 1902 due to a lack of space. The town was experiencing a significant population boom, and it needed land to accommodate the new arrivals who came to work in the steel industry. That industry sustained Thionville’s prosperity until the 1970s, when industrial decline set in and the population shrank. It was not until the 1990s that the town returned to ‘prosperity’ and once again became an attractive place to live, thanks to its location near the Luxembourgish and German borders. Today, Thionville is open to Europe thanks to an efficient motorway and rail network, notably the recent arrival of the TGV, which enables travellers from the provinces to reach Paris quickly.

Once something of a sleeping beauty, the city now looks squarely at the 21st century. It preserves fine architectural remnants from its past that merit a closer look during a more in-depth visit.

In addition to its many picturesque narrow streets and distinctive atmosphere, Thionville offers numerous green spaces and pleasant walks. The town provides an ideal setting for photographers and for creating unique photo reports that showcase your company, organisation or institution.

Thionville is a multifaceted city, well suited to photography.

The new districts of the extension designed by Josef Stübben in 1902 cover an area six times larger than that of the old town, which the German town planner left intact (though this did not prevent certain owners from fitting their houses on Rue du Four Banal or Place au Bois with a façade more in keeping with contemporary tastes…). As he explained in the *Deutsche Bauzeitung* (14 June 1902), he sought to meet the numerous requirements of the military and civil authorities, yet he also applied to Thionville several principles he had developed in his theoretical work. Thus, the town was structured first and foremost by a road network that was both extensive and hierarchically organised. Squares and major public buildings interrupted the long perspectives and brought a ‘picturesque’ quality to neighbourhoods designed without systematic symmetry. Plantings or small gardens in front of houses in certain residential neighbourhoods added further variety to the city’s ‘landscapes’.

The town planning regulations, which laid down very strict rules on hygiene and public health, also included a number of standards—of a more aesthetic nature—designed to maintain a sense of unity amongst the buildings, foremost among which was the obligation to comply with the prescribed street alignment. Building heights were restricted in relation to road widths, and projecting elements—common in Wilhelminian architecture—were strictly defined.

An imposing neo-Gothic building constructed in 1904 at the junction of the two main thoroughfares in the eastern part of the city, Avenue Albert I and Avenue de Gaulle. One can appreciate the variety of materials used (Jaumont stone for the base and architectural decoration, white glazed brick and slate).

The former Hôtel Schillerhof, situated on the corner of Rue Castelnau and Rue d’Angleterre. Notable for the scale of its large, scalloped gables, turrets and pinnacles, the building’s overall design is inspired by the German Renaissance.
