Fischbach (German pronunciation: [ˈfɪʃbax]; Luxembourgish: Fëschbech [ˈfəʃbəɕ] ⓘ) is a commune and village in central Luxembourg. It is part of the canton of Mersch, which is part of the district of Luxembourg.
As of 2025, the town of Fischbach, which lies in the centre of the commune, had a population of 444.[1] Other towns within the commune include Angelsberg and Schoos. Fischbach is the site of Fischbach Castle, one of the private residences of the Grand Ducal family.
A proposal to merge the commune with Nommern and Larochette into a new commune named Meesebuerg was put to a referendum in November 2014. Although 66.5% of voters in Larochette were in favour of the merger, 76% and 70% of those in Fischbach and Nommern respectively were against, leading to the abandonment of the project.[2]
