Auguste Laval

Antoine Marie Auguste Laval-Metz (4 February 1843 – 29 October 1915)[1] was a Luxembourgish politician and industrialist.

His first act was to head the Chamber's deputation to Schloss Hohenburg for the funeral of Grand Duke Adolphe.

[3] Main issues during his tenure as President of the Chamber were of secularism and the creation of schools for girls.

On the latter cause in particular, Laval was very involved, and was one of the architects of the creation of girls' schools in Luxembourg City, Diekirch, Echternach, and Esch-sur-Alzette.

[3] Laval died office in Bern, on 29 October 1915, having gone to Switzerland to recover from his illness the previous November.
