Chamber of Deputies

What Chamber of Deputies does

The Chambre des Députés du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg is the national parliamentary institution of Luxembourg, headquartered at 23, rue du Marché-aux-Herbes in Luxembourg City. It is constitutionally mandated as the sole legislative body, sharing lawmaking authority with the Grand Duke, and is composed of 60 deputies elected by proportional representation. Approximately 165 administrative staff support the deputies across multiple buildings in the Krautmarkt (Marché-aux-Herbes) historical quarter.

The institution operates a comprehensive digital platform anchored by the multilingual chd.lu website (French, German, Luxembourgish, English), supplemented by ChamberTV live streaming and on-demand replays, an RSS/iTunes podcast subscription service for deputy speeches, the Chamberblietchen official record of debates, and an Open Data portal publishing over 700,000 parliamentary data points since 1945 across HTML, XML, XLSX, and CSV formats. Adjacent products include a Transparency Register documenting lobbying contacts, the Junior youth citizenship program with DemocraCity workshops, a Scientific Unit publishing policy research notes, animated educational videos, guided tours of the Hôtel de la Chambre, and dedicated press/media services.

The Chamber does not operate on a commercial revenue model; it is funded through the Luxembourg state budget, and all public-facing outputs — legislation, records, broadcasts, data, and educational materials — are provided free of charge to citizens. Its sole 'customer segment' is the resident population of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, served through omni-channel civic engagement (web, social media under #Chambrelux, email, podcast, in-person attendance). The institution holds partial compliance with EN 301 549 and RGAA v4.1 accessibility standards and operates under GDPR with a third-party DPO (Georges Wantz, Deloitte Tax & Consulting).
