History
In his lecture, historian Dominik Trauth explores how Thomasmehl became Luxembourg's national fertilizer. This byproduct of the steel industry significantly influenced agriculture in the late 19th century as a phosphate-rich fertilizer, becoming a symbol of agricultural modernization. The presentation also discusses how historical narratives are formed between research, nation-building, and economic development within the context of Luxembourgian history.
