Throughout her academic projects, Dr Ganschow is working on the presence of the so-called Russian diaspora in Luxembourg, i.e. the emigrant population from former Soviet Republics. Her current project deals with Soviet forced labourers during the Second World War and is commissioned by the Luxembourg government. In her work, she decided to compare the situation of these forced labourers, mainly young women coming from Ukraine, with the local population, in the Belval region in the south of Luxembourg.

Historical newspapers are mirrors of past societies, keeping track of the small and great history and reflecting the political, moral, and economic environments in which they were produced. Highly valued as primary sources by historians and humanities scholars, newspaper archives have been massively digitised in libraries, resulting in large collections of machine-readable documents and, over the past half-decade, in numerous academic research initiatives on their automatic processing.

Bei der Einführung des Automobils im späten 19. Jahrhundert war die Technik zunächst sehr unzuverlässig und reparaturbedürftig, gleichzeitig gab es nur wenige spezialisierte Kfz-Werkstätten.

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.

The Banque Générale du Luxembourg (BGL), established in 1919, is one of Luxembourg’s iconic financial institutions. Drawing on the bank’s private archives, this article explores the many architectural changes made to the BGL headquarters over the years, ranging from extensions and renovations to new building projects. Throughout the bank’s history – and especially from its establishment until the late 1980s –, the buildings that housed its head office in the centre of Luxembourg City went through multiple transformations.

Durant la seconde moitié du vingtième siècle, il a été souvent écrit que les activités d’orpaillage de l’Ardenne belge remontaient au second âge du Fer. Cette attribution chronologique ne repose en réalité sur aucune observation scientifiquement démontrée. Par contre, une récente étude cartographique a mis en évidence la superposition des limites alto médiévales du domaine de l’abbaye de Stavelot Malmedy avec les tracés des ruisseaux aurifères du massif de Stavelot.
