Minière Langenacker - Bremshäischen

Where? L-4011 Esch-sur-Alzette

A monument of transport technology

In order to bring the ore from the open-cast mine Langenacker near Tetingen down into the valley, a "plan incliné", i.e. an inclined plane with a braking hill, used to be set here. The old brakeman's house and the upper part of the braking hill of the Langenacker open-cast mine in Tetingen have been painstakingly restored and are a real highlight for visitors.

FerroForum
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.
