The Escher Courrier: allgemeine Zeitung und Anzeige-Blatt für die Interessen aller Stände was a political paper published by Dr. Michel Welter (1859-1924) through the printer G. Willems from 1896 to 1897. According to the Dictionary of Luxembourgish Authors, the “Offene Wort an die Wähler” published in collaboration with Caspar Mathias Spoo (1837-1914) heralded the start of party-political publishing in Luxembourg.
