INTRODUCTION “As fatal as a futureless origin, is an origin-less future. Rather it is true: Origin needs future, future needs origins. As a consequence, in the modern world, it is the task of aesthetic art, the historical sense, the humanities and finally of philosophy, under conditions of discontinuity to make and to articulate experiences of continuity” (Marquard, 1994, p.25). Subject matter and research question Maastricht, rich in history and monuments, is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful cities in the Netherlands, owing its prosperity and size much to its industrial past. Now after structural change and after several projects of urban development, Maastricht is facing the gradual closure of the Netherlands’ oldest cement factory, the <strong>ENCI</strong>, in 2018, the year in which Maastricht applies to become the European Capital of Culture. In February 2011, a symposium 1 was held at the industrial and technical museum Continium in Kerkrade, hosting guests from the former Capital of Cultures and industrial regions Ruhr and Liverpool, discussing the role that Maastricht’s industrial past could play in acquiring the title. This, and the factory’s particular location at the Sint Pietersberg, the only Dutch mountain, again starts the old questions of the relevance of industrial heritage for the city and in case of preservation, how best to proceed. While the first question is the topic of another thesis 2 , considerations on the handling of industrial heritage or monuments are worth a deliberate discussion. In the scope of heritage preservation, related conceptions are important to investigate. They deal with questions of usage and abundance, function and dysfunction, economy and ecology, perception and misperception, meaning of matter, remembrance, exclusion and enclosure, about meaningfulness for the many, or economic utility for the few (Böhme, H., 2006, p.365). Yet, as we will see later, these concepts cannot and should not be regarded as mutually exclusive. In this aspiration, the research question, on a general level, becomes: “What can be learnt from past practices and theories concerning the meaningful preservation of industrial heritage?” And particularly: “How can this be applied to transformation of the <strong>ENCI</strong> factory in Maastricht?” 1 "Industrial Heritage: The Industrial Past as Part of a European Capital of Culture", Continium Kerkrade, Feb 2, 2011 2 Claessen, J.
