History Talk: Luxembourg’s Steel Industry
Did you know that the One World Trade Center and American Family Field (formerly Miller Park) were built with Luxembourgish steel?
Luxembourg has a rich agricultural history that many of us are familiar with. However, during Europe’s Industrial Revolution (1840s-1890s), Luxembourg completely shifted from an agricultural society to an industrious society with the mass production of steel. Former Ambassador Krieger will discuss the history of Luxembourg’s steel industry and how it shaped the Luxembourg we know today.
