About Bastendorf

Bastendorf used to be its own separate commune. This was in the canton of Diekirch. A canton is a larger administrative area, a bit like a county or a region.

On January 1, 2006, Bastendorf joined with another town called Fouhren. Together, they formed a brand-new commune named Tandel. This new commune is part of the canton of Vianden. This change helped to organize the local government more efficiently.
