Courrier Du Grand-Duché De Luxembourg
The ''Courrier du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg'' was a French-language newspaper in Luxembourg published from 1844 to 1868. On 3 July 1844, the Luxembourg printer Lamort released the inaugural edition of the ''Courrier du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg.'' Just three days previously, on 29 June 1844, he had discontinued the publication of the pro-government ''Journal de la Ville et du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg.'' For the ''Courrier'', he even retained the same banner font as the ''Journal'' without alteration.

The ''Courrier'' saw itself as more sensitive to the needs of an independent Luxembourg, and closer to the people. However, since it was written in F ...

ARBED
The Aciéries Réunies de Burbach-Eich-Dudelange ( French; literally "United Steelworks of Burbach-Eich-Dudelange"), better known by its acronym ARBED, was a major Luxembourg-based steel and iron producing company. Created in 1911 after the merger of three steel producing companies, ARBED had a significant role in the economy of the Grand Duchy until it merged in 2002 with two other European steel companies to create Arcelor. History Origins (1882–1911) The discovery of iron ore in Luxembourg in the 1850s and the introduction of metallurgy in 1876 led to the development of an important national steel industry, especially in the south of the country, and provided Luxembourg with sustained economic growth during the second half of the 19th century. This economic growth was greatly boosted during the two decades preceding World War I when large integrated steelworks, able to convert cast iron into steel and rolled steel, were constructed. Steel production surged from 145 313 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
