“Klibberen” as immaterial cultural heritage?

Ringing the rattle "Klibberen" is an old tradition in Luxembourg. The altar servers have launched an initiative to have this tradition included in the national list of intangible cultural heritage. Our MP André Bauler welcomes their initiative and asked the Minister of Culture whether she would be willing to support the altar servers in this process, or even to register the tradition of "Klibberen" as intangible cultural heritage.

„D’Klibberen ass eng al Traditioun aus dem Elsass a vu Lëtzebuerg wou d’Kanner vu Gréngen Donneschdeg bis Ouschtersonndeg d’Kiercheklacken ersetzen a Moies, Mëttes an Owes mat hire Klibberen duerch d’Stroosse ginn.

D’Lëtzebuerger Wort schreift haut, datt déi Verantwortlech vun de Lëtzebuerger Massendénger derfir suerge wëllen, datt d’Klibberen op déi national Lëscht vum immaterielle Kulturierwen opgeholl gëtt. Dofir maachen si en Opruff un d’Bevëlkerung fir Dokumentatiounsmaterial ze kréien an hire Froebou op hirem Internetsite auszefëllen. Dës Initiative ass begréissenswäert a soll deementspriechend och ënnerstëtzt ginn.

An deem Kontext wollt ech der Madamm Kulturministesch folgend Froe stellen:

  1. Wéi steet d’Madamm Ministesch zu der Initiative vun de Lëtzebuerger Massendénger?
  2. Wier d’Madamm Ministesch bereet d’Klibberen op déi national Lëscht vum Kulturierwen opzehuelen?Wa jo, ënner wat fir enge Bedéngungen?
  3. Ass d’Madamm Ministesch bereet, de Promoteure vun dëser Initiative mat Rot an Dot zur Säit ze stoen an hinnen Experten, z.B. aus staatleche Verwaltungen, unzeginn, déi si an hirer Aarbecht begleede kënnen?

How long are the waiting times at the “Travel Clinic”?

If you are travelling to tropical regions, you can get advice and be vaccinated against various diseases at the CHL’s “Travel Clinic”. However, the waiting times at this clinic are currently said to be quite long.
DP MPs Dr Gérard Schockmel and Gilles Baum have asked the Minister of Health how many patients have been seen at the “Travel Clinic” over the last ten years, how waiting times have developed over this period and whether it would not make sense to make it possible to book appointments online, as is the case with many other CHL services.

Medical referrals abroad

Since 1 June 2025, doctors have to fill out a new form if they want to send a patient abroad for treatment. The doctor must now indicate whether or not the services can be provided in Luxembourg within an ‘acceptable period’. If the doctor indicates that the services could actually be provided in Luxembourg, the referral request is automatically rejected.
DP MP Dr Gérard Schockmel has asked the Minister of Health whether the mere reduction to the ‘acceptable period’, without taking into account the quality of care, might not lead to unjustified rejections and whether the new form might not force doctors to provide false information in order to guarantee their patients the best possible care.
