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.

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.

In den langen 1960er Jahren finden sich auf der Schueberfouer Einflüsse kultureller Transfers und Elemente, die die Attraktivität des Jahrmarkts steigern sollten. In diesem Vortrag sollen diese Transfers und Elemente anhand von zwei Aspekten näher beleuchtet werden.

Answering complex questions over textual resources remains a challenge, particularly when dealing with nuanced relationships between multiple entities expressed within natural-language sentences. To this end, curated knowledge bases (KBs) like YAGO, DBpedia, Freebase, and Wikidata have been widely used and gained great acceptance for question-answering (QA) applications in the past decade. While these KBs offer a structured knowledge representation, they lack the contextual diversity found in natural-language sources. To address

In 1984, the German literature scholar Hannes Schwenger wrote that “it cannot take long before the first museum on offices opens its doors – probably before the turn of the millennium”. Schwenger drew a parallel with 19th-century factory complexes, which were (by the mid-1980s) gradually becoming museum-worthy due to the ongoing deindustrialization in Western countries.

In the paper by Inna Ganschow, the camp experience in the Soviet Union as a result of forced conscription will be treated, specifically in its artistic processing: secretly written diaries and letters by Luxembourg Wehrmacht soldiers.

Die Geschichte Ostbelgiens in den letzten 50 Jahren ist nur vor dem Hintergrund vielfältiger Entwicklungen zu verstehen: die Föderalisierung Belgiens und der Strukturwandel in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft stehen in diesem Buch im Vordergrund. Die Einleitung fragt anhand von Konzepten wie Erfahrungsraum, Erwartungshorizont und Angstregimen danach, wie diese Geschichte geschrieben und interpretiert werden kann. Dabei zeigt sich: Auch in Ostbelgien entwickelt sich Zeitgeschichtsschreibung von einer Nachgeschichte des Zweiten Weltkriegs zu einer Vorgeschichte der Gegenwart.

After Second World War, Luxembourg – with its singular geopolitical situation – abandoned its neutral status and embarked on a path to multilateralism, giving particular priority to European integration. From the early 1960s, the country promoted the idea of a Europe through currency as a crucial basis for effective economic integration, as reflected in the theories and action of a wide range of state and non-state actors.

Wie haben ostbelgische Politiker über die regionale Vergangenheit gesprochen? Welche Emotionen begleiteten dieses Sprechen oder machten es aus? Wie verhielten sich ihre Interventionen zum Stand der Erforschung der Regionalgeschichte? Die seit der langen Nachkriegszeit in Ostbelgien präsente Vergangenheitsangst veränderte sich spätestens seit den 2000er Jahren und damit änderten sich auch die Bedingungen, unter denen Regionalgeschichte gemacht wurde.

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.
