Luxemburgish National Championships - 26-27.06.2004 - Niederanven

Exhibition about the riders of the "Kirchen dynasty"

When you say Niederanven and cycling, you also have to say Kirchen, a family of which 8 riders have written cycling history Luxembourg. Among their succes for example a 5th place in the final overall classification of the Tour de France, victories in the Tour de l'Avenir, the Tour of Luxembourg or the Flèche du Sud::

Jean (1939 - 1953)

Abbes (1946 - 1952)

Jim (1950 - 1954)

Albert (1961 - 1964)

Mett (1962 - 1966)

Erny (1963 - 1999)

Romain (1971 - 1978)

Kim (1992 - ...)

Of course, the idea came to honour them during the National Championships 2004 in Niederanven and the "Supporterclub Kim Kirchen" has realized this exhibition in the cultural centre "Am Sand" in Niederanven. Opening hours: Tuesday, June 22, 2004 to Saturday, June 26, 2004 from 14h00 to 20h00 and Sunday, June 27, 2004 all day.
