Die zweite und vor allem die vierte Staatsreform haben den Regionen und Gemeinschaften in Belgien weitgehende Befugnisse im Bereich der Außenbeziehungen übertragen. Diese Möglichkeit wurde zunächst vor allem innerbelgisch genutzt. Schnell richtete sich das Augenmerk auf die grenzüberschreitende Zusammenarbeit, von der man sich konkrete Erleichterungen für die Grenzbevölkerungen versprach. Die 1990er Jahre brachten für die Deutschsprachige Gemeinschaft eine insti tutionelle und strategische Wende – die zunehmende Intensität und die Reichweite der Außenbeziehungen

Am 23. Oktober 1973 wurde mit dem Rat der deutschen Kulturgemeinschaft die erste parlamentarische Versammlung für die deutschsprachige Minderheit in Belgien eingesetzt.

Cert article retrace la « généalogie des lieux » de l’Alsace contemporaine, dans laquelle la cartographie a joué un rôle essentiel, et s’efforce de restituer les conséquences démographiques qui la bouleversèrent durablement.

Beginning in the 20th century, Luxembourg experienced several periods of transition. The largely agriculture-based economy became industrialized, driven by a powerful steel industry which remained the dominant sector from the immediate post-Second World War years to the mid-1970s. In 1974 the steel industry began to decline, marking the end of the ‘Trente Glorieuses’. Luxembourg was forced to implement considerable structural changes and embarked on its second major transition, from an industrial economy to a service economy based on the financial sector.

Both born of Russian nationality, but she in present-day Poland and he in Belarus, Ida and Nathan arrived separately in Luxembourg in the late 1910s, married and had five sons. From 1922 on, they were itinerant merchants selling knitted and crocheted goods on the markets and lived in Esch-sur-Alzette and then Luxembourg-City. During the war, they lived in exile, hidden in Brussels, and, like their children, they survived. They returned to Esch, where they opened a store at 110 rue du Nord and then at 114 rue de l'Alzette.

The application of digital technologies to historical newspapers have changed the research landscape historians were used to. An Eldorado? Despite undeniable advantages, the new digital affordance of historical newspapers also transforms research practices and confronts historians with new challenges. Drawing on a growing community of practices, the impresso project invited scholars experienced with digitised newspaper collections with the aim of encouraging a discussion on heuristics, source criticism and interpretation of digitized newspapers.

Dr Sara Afonso Ferreira presented to the students the Court of Justice of the European Union and the collection of works of art which it preserves and which are representative of the Member States and of Europe’s multicultural diversity.
