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 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.

A historic bond that should never be forgotten
