There is more than just one East Berlin. People made very different experiences with the capital of the GDR. Hence there are also plenty of different memories of the East German capital. An exhibition on the history of East Berlin has to take these different perspectives into account and should be based on shared authority.

The Temporary History Lab, set up in the Annexe22 pavilion in Esch-sur-Alzette from September to October 2020, was part of the research project “Remixing Industrial Pasts in the Digital Age”.

On 10 and 11 December 2020, the C²DH has hosted an online workshop. This event was organised as part of the research project “Remixing Industrial Pasts in the Digital Age: Sounds, Images, Ecologies, Practices and Materialities in Space and Time”. This workshop brought together academics from different countries to analyse the evolution of industrial cities during the 20th century.

The exhibition « Légionnaires » is the outcome of a collaboration between the C²DH and the Musée Dräi Eechelen, bringing together the results of a quinquennial investigation on the Luxembourgers in the French Foreign Legion.

Report of the international workshop held on 26 November 2020 with experts from European universities who have initiated public COVID-19 platforms to collect testimonies.
