Anselme Laugel

Marie Anselme Victor Henri Laugel (3 April 1851, Strasbourg - 29 July 1928, Bœrsch) was a French-Alsatian author and politician.

In 1891, he returned home and became Chairman of the Agricultural Council in the district of Kreis Molsheim [de], then founding President of the Wine Growers' Association of Alsace.

In 1896 he was elected to the District Parliament [fr] (Bezirkstag), representing Oberelsaß (Upper Alsace).

He and Spindler also created the "Cercle de Saint-Léonard [fr]", an artists' association, whose members included Léon Hornecker, Alfred Marzolff, Joseph Sattler, Léo Schnug, Lothar von Seebach and Gustave Stoskopf.

After the war, the French government made him responsible for monitoring the holdings at museums and libraries throughout Alsace.
