Coal, iron and steel history
The history of coal, iron and steel – Montangeschichte in German – is like a broader mining history.
It is focused on the history of mining and all related branches and it analyzes the connection between mined resources and societal actors.
Like mining history, Montangeschichte does not have its own set of methodological instruments or theories. It is solely defined by the
subject of research that can be analyzed from various historical perspectives.
