In earlier life, Hamilius played football for the Luxembourg national team, including at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp.
Place Émile-Hamilius, situated just off Boulevard Royal in the Luxembourg City quarter of Ville Haute, is named after Hamilius.
He also gave his name to the now-defunct Centre Émile Hamilius, which was the location of much of Luxembourg City's municipal administration until 2012.
His son, Jean, is a former DP politician himself, serving as a Deputy, minister, and Member of the European Parliament.
