About the Lion, the Luxembourg coat of arms:
"The coat of arms of Luxembourg has its origins in the Middle Ages and was derived from the arms of the Duchy of Limburg, in modern-day Belgium and the Netherlands. In heraldic language, the arms are described as: Barry of ten Argent and Azure, a Lion rampant queue forchée Gules crowned, armed and langued Or."

About the Central Railway Station
"In 1859 the first railway station of the city started to operate; for military reasons timber was the basic construction material.
Between 1907 and 1913 the German architects Rüdell, Jüsgen and Scheuffel planned and organized the gradual replacing of the half-timbering by modern building techniques.
The monumental main building and the high clock tower are in “Moselle Baroque”.
In the entrance hall a mosaic window discloses the outline of the city; the ceiling was repainted by the Luxembourg artist Armand Strainchamps."
