Several metres of reconstructed tram tracks recall the world's first electric tram ride in the German capital, Berlin. Werner von Siemens stood at the cradle of that world first. 

On the night of 18-19 January 1923, the Dutch East Indies (today's Indonesia) caught the first test signals from the Dutch broadcasting station Kootwijk, over 12,000 kilometres away. It was a miracle of technology—or was it?

In the shadow of Drunen's medieval castle, ‘Het Land van Ooit’ opened in 1989, a leisure park in which knights and counts played the leading role.

No expense was spared in building the more than 46-kilometre-long railway line between the Dutch town of Lage Zwaluwe and Hertogenbosch. Thus, in the 1880s, the construction of a spacious railway bridge above the Bossche inundation field began.

In the 1950s, anyone who wanted to cross the Upper Merwede had to rely on a ferry service. This was not very convenient in emergencies.

During the final months of World War I, the British Army Troop Company Royal Engineers erected a concrete bridge over the Kemmelbeek near Ypres.

The Belval blast furnaces in Esch-sur-Alzette are the last remnants of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg steel industry. In 1997, the steel factory was shut down for good, only to rise like a phoenix from its ashes a few years later.
