Digital History als ‚experimental space‘:  Handels- und Transportnetzwerke in Gallien und Germanien sowie die Transportverbindung zwischen Mosel und Saône

Digital History als ‚experimental space‘: Handels- und Transportnetzwerke in Gallien und Germanien sowie die Transportverbindung zwischen Mosel und Saône

This dissertation consists of two parts. In the first part, the focus lies on the study of trade and transport networks in the Gaulish and German provinces during the Roman Empire based on inscriptions. Different approaches are used to tackle this topic, e.g. networks between different people and families, organisations and cities. The results show that networks between merchants or merchant families likely existed with the aim of securing and improving one’s own position in the business world.

ChroniclItaly and ChroniclItaly 2.0: Digital Heritage to access narratives of migration

ChroniclItaly and ChroniclItaly 2.0: Digital Heritage to access narratives of migration

Although the voice of migrants and minorities has increasingly being heard in migration research, studies of past narratives of migration remain comparatively rare. The reason for this lies in the fact that accessing historical records of migrants’ personal accounts is technically difficult. Voicing the experiences and ‘inner life’ of migrants, the immigrant press represents a suitable compromise.

Maintaining the Mobility of Motor Cars: The Case of (West) Germany, 1918–1980

Maintaining the Mobility of Motor Cars: The Case of (West) Germany, 1918–1980

Stefan Krebs uses the case of Germany to investigate maintenance and repair as a central part of automobility. The chapter will look at two sides of car repair as the need to maintain the mobility function and the practice of a hobbyist consumer activity that promised status, community and identity. It highlights four aspects that framed repair as a necessary part of car consumption: the (un-)reliability of automobile technology; the emergence of a car repair infrastructure; repair costs, which determined to a large extent whether one could afford to drive a car; and DIY repair practices.

Gerson Aronow (1888-1943), Sophie Herz (1897-1942)

Gerson Aronov came from Smolensk in western Russia and was sent as a soldier to France in 1914, where he was taken prisoner by the Germans. After World War I, he worked in the steel industry in Lorraine and in Esch/Alzette. Together with his Luxembourgian wife Sophie Herz from Medernach, he opened a confectionery store in Differdange in 1937. Under German occupation, Aronow was forced to work for Paul Wurth and their business was confiscated.
