Wahl (German pronunciation: [vaːl] ⓘ; Luxembourgish: Wal) is a former commune and small village in western Luxembourg, in the canton of Redange.
As of 2025, the town of Wahl, which lies in the south of the commune of Groussbus-Wal, has a population of 489.[1]
History
Starting in early 2019, Wahl had intense discussions with its neighbour, Grosbous, concerning a fusion of the two communes under the name Groussbus-Wal. An important step in this process was the referendum of June 27, 2021, when the inhabitants of both communes expressed their opinion about the project of merging the two communes. The majority of voters in both communes supported the fusion,[2] which took place in September 2023, after the next municipal elections in June 2023.

Economy
In addition to the commune administration, Wahl has a church and cemetery, but no local stores or restaurants. The local industry mainly comprises farming, with a few exceptions, like Topsolar (solar- & other alternative energies), Supernova Cult (fashion) and WebSEO (web design), who are the three main non-agriculture related businesses based in Wahl.
