The paper explains how the activities undertaken in the Terra Mosana project have combined the writing of new heritage narratives with the creation of digital 3D virtual experiences. The main objective of the project was to strengthen the sense of belonging to the same community for the citizens of the Euregio Meuse-Rhine by recreating their common history and heritage in 3D. This was achieved through virtual and augmented reality experiences based on cross-border and renewed historical storylines.

Das Schuhmacherhandwerk hat sich in Luxemburg in seiner Art und Verbreitung historisch stark verän-dert. Während der Beruf bis ins späte 19. Jahrhundert hinein vor allem ein produzierendes Handwerk war, wurde er mit der immer weiter um sich greifenden Industrialisierung der Schuhproduktion mehr und mehr zu einem Reparaturhandwerk. In dieser neuen Rolle als „middle ground“ zwischen Massen-produktion und -konsum waren die Schuhmacher im Laufe des 20.

Seinen Forschungsschwerpunkt in der digitalen Geschichte trägt das 2017 gegründete C²DH bereits im Namen. Überlegungen zu den methodologischen Herausforderungen des Digitalen für die Geschichtswissenschaft stehen bei seiner Arbeit genauso im Mittelpunkt wie das Nachdenken über den Einsatz digitaler Mittel bei der Vermittlung von Zeitgeschichte. Bei dieser Digital Public History spielen besonders die so genannten virtuellen Ausstellungen eine große Rolle.
