The story of Castle of Schengen which was almost exchanged for a painting by Victor Hugo.

Er hat drei Kinder, er lebt zwischen drei Ländern und er setzt eine Familien- geschichte von Philosophen, Schriftstellern und Denkern fort. Er schreibt, so- lange es noch dunkel ist, er malt, wenn es hell wird. Maxim Kantor lebt in ei- nem natürlichen Rhythmus eines kreativ Schaffenden, der keinen Unterschied zwischen den Ausdrucksformen macht, solange er etwas zu sagen hat. Heute spricht er über die Bestialität der Menschheit.

Alongside contemporary dance, classical ballet is a permanent fixture on the cultural scene in Luxembourg. There are good, enthusiastic dancers, a large, demanding audience, and yet the conditions in our country are anything but ideal for an art form that embodies in motivation and expression the origin and purity of dance par excellence. We took a look around and asked around in the Luxembourg ballet halls and among the actors of the local ballet scene.

DHLU 2013 was co-organised by the Centre Virtuel de la Connaissance sur l’Europe (CVCE), together with the Jean Monnet Chair in History of European Integration (University of Luxembourg, FLSHASE) and its research programme ‘Digital Humanities Luxembourg’ — DIHULUX (research unit Identités-Politiques- Sociétés-Espaces (IPSE)) as well as the University of Luxembourg’s Master’s in Contemporary European History. Its aim was to bring together likeminded researchers with a vested interest in the topic of “Reading historical sources in the digital age”.

As prime minister and finance minister of Luxembourg over 30 years, Pierre Werner played a major role in the building of a united Europe. This Christian Democratic intellectual and committed federalist gained strong reputation as a consensus-builder between larger powers (Germany and France) and between diametrically opposed positions (‘economists’ and ‘monetarists’), as well as for his ideas on monetary integration. From early 1950s, Werner advocates a European monetary system based on a currency unit and on a clearing house for central banks.

The story of the glove factory Albert Reinhard´s.

“Reconciliation over the graves” is the official slogan of the Volksbund, a non-government organization based in Kassel, in central Germany. The Volksbund builds resting places for German war dead, and commemorates and acts in educational youth work toward understanding and harmonization after World War II. This essay uses and follows the definition of reconciliation as intended in the meaning of the Volksbund’s activities in Russia. The idea of this slogan and the purpose of this term will be explained.

Quel regard jettent les autres Etats européens sur 50 ans de coopération franco-allemande (traité de l'Elysée de 1963) ? Ne sont-ils pas les mieux placés pour jauger de l'intensité de leurs relations, de leurs dysfonctionnements, de leurs apports aux relations interétatiques et de la construction européenne ? Les autres Etats sont un excellent miroir pour la relation franco-allemande et nous apprennent autant sur la coopération entre les deux riverains du Rhin qu'une investigation centrée sur le seul tandem franco-allemand.

Pierre Werner (29 décembre 1913 – 24 juin 2002) fut une personnalité aux multiples talents qui a traversé le XXe siècle. Ministre d’État, Premier Ministre et ministre des Finances pendant de longues dé¬cennies, cet intellectuel chrétien et démocrate résolu fut l’un des rares hommes d’État à avoir pris part à l’unification européenne depuis l’après-guerre jusqu’au milieu des années 1980. Il fait de l’intégration européenne l’axe central de la politique luxembourgeoise. Sur le plan intérieur, il joue un rôle majeur dans la modernisation de la société.

This pilot project was carried out in connection with the CVCE’s strategy of combining humanities and social sciences research with digital tools and publishing the results via its digital research infrastructure on European integration, CVCE.eu. Methods borrowed from social network analysis and qualitative data analysis were applied to a specific section of the digital publication on the 1970 Werner Report, a publication which was compiled on the basis of the ‘traditional’ exploration and interpretation of a vast number of previously unpublished primary sources. 2
