Confronting Decline in Luxembourg's Steel Industry - CONDE

Since the 1970s, deindustrialisation has fundamentally changed Western societies. Interestingly, Luxembourg has confronted the decline of its steel industry in a particular way. The CONDE project seeks to explore deindustrialisation in a systematic historical perspective and place it in wider political, economic, social and cultural contexts. The project is led by the Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History (IfZ) in Munich. C²DH is one of nine collaborating institutions.

C²DH historians Stefan Krebs, Zoé Konsbruck and Nicolas Arendt, spoke to Hanna Siemaszko, the producer of the SciLux podcast on science in Luxembourg, about deindustrialisation in Luxembourg, its comparison to processes in Eastern Germany and how Luxembourgish deindustrialisation was presented as a success story.
