Felix Streicher (F.)

Félix Streicher is a PhD candidate at the Department of History of Maastricht University. His PhD project explores a case of foreign rule hitherto neglected in academic historical research: the Luxembourg occupation zone in post-war Germany (1945–1955). 

The main focus of the project, which is supervised by Mathieu Segers and Camilo Erlichman, and funded by a grant from the Luxembourg National Research Fund, will be a detailed analysis of German-Luxembourg social interactions within the occupation zone through the lens of a history of everyday life, space and gender.
