Fancy a journey back in time ?

This memorial is dedicated to 2nd. Lt. Hyman Josefson, the first US casualty in Luxembourg during World War II

This life-size reconstruction takes you back to the days of the Second World War when a group of young Luxembourgers hid in a mine to escape the obligation to serve in the German army and wear the Nazi uniform.

The FerroForum was created with the aim of preserving and promoting the cultural and industrial heritage of Esch, as well as showcasing the know-how about the processing of iron and steel into products we use every day. The space, originally restored as part of the Esch 2022 European Capital of Culture programme, is a destination for all those who are curious about how metal objects (things that last) get made. Established as a non-profit association, the FerroForum space is located in the central workshop of the former Arbed Esch-Schifflange ironworks.

The Architectural Walk allows you to discover the variety of architecture in Esch, including the city’s Art Nouveau and Art Deco heritage.

This regional museum focuses on the complex history of forced recruitment during the Nazi occupation of Luxembourg and provides a poignant insight into the suffering of the Dudelange population during the war.

The "Léiffrächen" in Kayl is a national place of pilgrimage and memorial

The “old cooling towers” in Differdange are five cooling towers from the former Arcelor steelworks.

The US memorial “September 9, 1944 – We will never forget” of Pétange, is actually dedicated to the 2nd Lt. Hyman Josefson, recorded as the first US soldier to loose his life on Luxembourg territory on September 9, 1944, the first day of American troops crossing the French border area liberating parts of southern Luxembourg.
