The commune also contains the industrial zones of Chaux de Contern, and Rosswenkel, as well as the activity zone of Weiergewan.
The town dates back to around the 9th century and was initially economically focused on farming. Having gone through various changes in governance over the centuries, the commune as it exists today was formed around the 19th century. In recent years Contern has industrialised; however, it mainly functions as a commuter town into Luxembourg City, as do most of the other settlements in the commune. As a result, Contern boasts the 10th highest median average salary out of all 100 communes in Luxembourg as of 2025.
