The first edition of Histofest<\/strong> took place at the Belval Plaza shopping centre in Esch-sur-Alzette on 15 October 2025. More than three hundred visitors attended the event, which started with a photo challenge revolving around the visits of prominent personalities such as Grand Duke Jean<\/strong>, Pope John Paul II<\/strong>, Tito, Ceau\u0219escu<\/strong>, Queen Elizabeth II <\/strong>and others to Luxembourg and the Minett region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of these visits might have left a more lasting imprint on Esch than others, but most resulted in at least one Golden Book entry. The multimedia exhibition<\/strong> at the festival thus displayed the Golden Book of Esch-sur-Alzette, the Visitors Book of the National Museum of Resistance and Human Rights, as well as the hologram featured in the film \u201cNicolae\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the guidance of bookbinder Danielle K\u00f6ller-Willems festival visitors participated in the creation of the Golden Book of Histofest<\/strong> and learned how to craft unique handmade booklets in a bookbinding workshop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
