Research seminar with Philippe Blasen.
This presentation will display the preliminary results of the research into the history of SUDenergie and, more generally, the gas industry in Luxembourg and neighbouring Lorraine, from 1899 onwards. It discusses the origins of gas street lightening in Luxembourg in the 1890s, the involvement of German gas companies in the Luxembourgish gas sector until 1944, the take-over of Société générale pour le gaz et l’électricité Ltd. by Luxembourgish communes in 1953, as well as the more recent evolution of the company.
