in other words the Luxemburg dialect. I can't really read it, also because bits of the text are odd and out of place, like the word "skilningarvit", which seems Icelandic or Scandinavian, but I can decipher most of it because it resembles the Aachen and Maastricht dialects. Maybe someone else knows more.

I don't understand however the funny ð-signs in the words however, so maybe it's another German dialect after all.
For Luxembourgish, see the following links:

I also thought it might be Schwyzerdütsch (the German dialect spoken in Switzerland), but then I found it rather different from the text below.
Good luck on your search!

I agree with Ingeborg that the overall impression is Lëtzebuergesch. The ð-sign however only appears in Icelandic, Faroese and some Scandinavian dialects, so it must be a mix of several languages. Words like 'skilningarvit', 'frábær' and 'hvatir' give me the impression of being Icelandic, but I know to little about Icelandic to be sure.
As far as my understanding of Lëtzebuergesch goes, the text doesn't make any sense at all. Would it be possible that it is a kind of fantasy text or a...

It seems it has to do with imports, customs or so. If I have the words with that curled d, ae glued together and hv translated by Google Translate it says
Sameining = integration
meðvitund = consciousness
við = with
gefið = given
frábær = great
stríð = war
að = to
hvati = stimulus
hvorugu = neither
And the "sentence"

Integration of consciousness to give a great impetus to war either
Unfortunately Google Translate doesn't translate Luxemburgisch and these Luxemburgisch words appear very randomly, it are no bank names or so ... strange.
Icelandic was in the midst of the European night suggested already, I see now. Oddly enought it wasn't there when I wrote my answer. They were put on ice probabely.

Maybe it COMES from Google translate? Because something seems to have gone wrong.

Yes this is definitely Luxembourgish, but with some words in a Nordic language which are added in a way that does not make sense. Words containing the letter ð, for example, are not in Luxembourgish.
