The Schueberfouer starts on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday before Saint Bartholomew s day 24 August and closes on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday before 12 September in order to last 20 days every year. In 2010, the fair comprised 184 attractions including 27 major rides, 13 children s rides and 54 restaurants and snacks bars. ref http www.fouer.lu en Attractions.html Attractions , Schueberfouer. Retrieved 1 October 2010. ref In 2007 the fair attracted over 2 million visitors. History John of Bohemia John the Blind , King of Bohemia and Count of Luxembourg, founded the Schueberfouer on 20 October 1340. The founding document stated It will begin on the eve of the feast of Bartholomew the Apostle St Bartholomew and will last for a full eight days. Even today, it remains linked to St Bartholomew s day, 24 August, the traditional opening date. The name Schueberfouer is thought to originate from the name of the market place where it was first held the Schuedburg , today s Plateau St Esprit. For almost 450 years, it was indeed just a large market for everything from food and livestock to cloth and pottery. The fair moved to the Glacis in 1610 after the Limpertsberg wood had been removed to improve the city s fortifications. During the 18th century, shows and games became part of the fair but it was not until the 20th century that a Ferris wheel and a rollercoaster first appeared. ref http www.fouer.lu en History.html History , Schueberfouer.

Idel son is situated to the southwest of the huge walled plain Schr dinger crater Schr dinger . The northern rim of Idel son is overlain by the larger crater Ganswindt crater Ganswindt , reversing the usual order of smaller craters on top of larger impacts usually seen on the Moon. The outer glacis of Ganswindt covers nearly half the interior floor of Idel son, reaching to the mid point. The remainder of the interior and rim of the crater has been partly overlain by ejecta, producing a rounded, lumpy surface. Still the surviving outer rim remains distinct, and is not overlain by any other impacts of note. The largest impact within the interior is a tiny crater next to the southeastern inner wall.
