3 unusual facts about ARBED building


ARBED building

During the German occupation of 1940-1944, the Gauleiter Gustav Simon installed his headquarters in a wing of the building.

The ARBED building is the generally used name for the former headquarters building of the ARBED steel manufacturing company, which was completed in 1922 on the Avenue de la Liberté, opposite the Rose Garden in Luxembourg City.

In 2002, ARBED merged with other European steel companies to form Arcelor, which in turn merged with Mittal Steel in 2006 to form ArcelorMittal, and the building changed ownership accordingly.
