Luxembourg - Addresses
Street names can either be in French, German or Letzebuergesch. Increasingly, especially in the capital, street names are given in both languages.
The structure of the address is slightly different according to the language of the address inasmuch as in a French address, the thoroughfare type is prefixed to the thoroughfare name with spaces between the words, whereas addresses in Letzebuergesch have the thoroughfare type suffixed to the thoroughfare name without a space. Otherwise, addresses are structured thus:
Recipient name number[ ]Thoroughfare postal code[ ]TOWN NAME
or
Recipient name number[, ]Thoroughfare postal code[ ]TOWN NAME
For example:
Thoroughfare types given in French should be written with the first letter in lower case.

A table containing information about the relevant position of elements within address blocks can be acquired
Thoroughfare types
As Letzebuergesch itself has a number of dialects and therefore a number of different spellings for thoroughfare types depending on the region, a list of the thoroughfare types in Letzebuergesch cannot be given here.
Please refer to the chapters on France and Belgium for lists of commonly occurring thoroughfare types and abbreviations as found when addresses are written in French.
