Abstract :
[de] Seit 2016 widmet sich das universitäre Forschungsprojekt VILLUX X in Zusammenarbeit mit der Stadt Luxemburg der Erstellung eines digitalen historischen Atlas. Dieser zeigt die städtische Entwicklung Luxemburgs seit Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts in Form von digitalen und interaktiven Karten. In mehreren Zeitschnitten ab den 1820er Jahren lassen sich die tiefgreifenden Wandlungsprozesse der Stadt und ihr Wachstum interaktiv nachvollziehen: Von der engen Festungsstadt des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts bis zur großflächigen, internationalen Metropole des 21. Jahrhunderts. [en] Since 2016, the university research project VILLUX X, in collaboration with the City of Luxembourg, is working on the creation of a digital historical atlas. This atlas shows the urban development of Luxembourg since the beginning of the 19th century in the form of digital and interactive maps. The profound processes of change in Luxembourg and the growth of the city can be traced interactively in several time sections from the 1820s onwards: From the narrow fortified city of the early 19th century to the large-scale international metropolis of the 21st century.
