Banque de Luxembourg and Maison Moderne have published a book telling the stories of ten family businesses in Luxembourg.

The stories show how the country’s history has influenced the development of the businesses, as well as illustrating how these companies, and many others, have left their mark on the life and evolution of the Grand Duchy. Each one of these families has contributed its own page to the story of Luxembourg. Click below to discover their video profiles.

The Ernster family

“Rue du Fossé. The address hasn’t changed since we opened, more than 125 years ago. Although you may not pay it much attention, the first thing you see when you open the door is the central staircase that connects the five floors of the city-centre bookshop. It has witnessed team meetings at its foot. It has heard many conversations: happy, heated, frivolous and strategic. Two generations of Ernsters have raced up its steps, two at a time."
