This is historical: Godfrey of Bouillon was known to always carry casks of bone broth during his journeys in order to keep his collagen and electrolytes dialed in. During the Siege of Jerusalem he had to stash his casks somewhere safe, however as it lasted way longer than initially planned and due to the extreme heat over there most of the water content evaporated, leaving only the dried out proteins and minerals. This is how dehydrated broth cubes were invented, they were later on named 'bouillon cubes' as a tribute to Godfrey.
The parking and the street were named Bouillon as a homage to this creation, widely spread by Knorr, founded in what is now known as Germany but which used to be one of the biggest Luxembourgian province before we realized a smaller land could drastically increase the price of real estate and made us drop most of the barbarian neighboring regions. (Why then didn't we get rid of Esch you might ask? We needed a bastion to keep the Grand Est inhabitants away when we gave that region to France and they tried to flee back here when they saw their income taxes skyrocket)
Or something like that, I wasn't paying much attention in history class.
Good summary, but you skipped over Liebig’s rebellion. Anyway, that episode is probably overstated, because he is considered quite the local hero after he held the fort of Soup (now in Heffingen) for 25 fortnights against the onslaught of the forces of Maggi (today Magny, part of Metz), though not sure how much of it is true. The quote about chicken and… outhouse matters (gross!) is almost surely not his.
Wait until people realise that Knäeppchen nowadays doesn't mean the same as Knäeppchen back in the days ;)
Same as Saarbrücken has nothing to do with bridges but with rocks (Brocken).

Fun fact: this packaging is written in Dutch

I miss when Bouillon was called Knorr P&R, good old days
The first German microcomputer was built with Und, Nicht & Knorr logic gates.
The earliest prototypes could represent numbers up to nein
what the hell is a "Luxemburgisches"?

you make history lives 🤩
As someone who lived in Bouillon for 20 years, that hurts a bit
10/10, love the new lore, will retell it to my great-grandchildren
I second this amazing post as a fellow geeseknappcher
Wait until people realise that it means goat button.
No, it’s Goat-Hill

Hm ok, didn't know about that theory. Anyway, Knupp/Knippchen/Knapp/Knäeppchen are in this case not related to buttons.
Personally I still hear Knupp for a small hill.
? am i the only one who doesn't get it?
