On 27 April, RTL photographer Domingos Oliveira provided a look into the depots housing out-of-commission fire engines, one based in Colmar-Berg, the other in Leudelange.
On Wednesday, Taina Bofferding visited the depot in Colmar-Berg and seemed impressed by the vehicles it houses. After the visit, she said she supports the idea of creating a 'meeting space' for those who support the emergency services.
In a press release, the minister described the idea of creating an area dedicated to celebrating the 'relentless engagement' of Luxembourg's firefighters is the least of the rewards for this community.
The area, Bofferding continued, could be a cultural area highlighting the history of firefighters, but also a meeting place for those aware of the emergency services' work and keen to help out.
In this popular series, RTL photographer Domingos Oliveira takes you to hidden places, lesser known locations and buildings with an interesting story.
1) The first instalment captured the last moment of the agricultural centre in Mersch.
2) We then visited Zenningen Zoo, which was closed in the early 80s.
3) Our third trip took us to Hesperange's eery swimming pool which now looks like the setting for an apocalyptic film.
4) The fourth photo series targeted the veritable ghost town "Cité Syrdall."
5) We also visited the iconic cinema Ariston in Esch, which opened in 1962 and closed in 2016. The cinema's history is an eventful one - from erotic films to youth theatre.
6) In the sixth instalment, we took a trip down memory lane and revisited pictures of Luxembourg City's former "centre Aldringen," an underground parking lot and cultural hub that gave way to Centre Hamilius.
7) The seventh gallery in the series took us to Luxembourg's former police museum.
8) And in the 8th instalment we got to take a look at a cemetery for old fire engines.
9) The 9th gallery visited the Lentilles Terres Rouges site in Esch.
10) The 10th instalment explored the old ArcelorMittal works in Esch and Schifflange.
11) The 11th photo series resulted in fantastic views of Birtrange Castle.
12) The 12th and latest instalment explores Deisermillen, the mill site which was destroyed in a landslide.
