Jean Ulveling

Jean Ulveling (3 April 1796, in Niederwiltz (near Wiltz) – 7 December 1878, in Luxembourg City)[1] was a Luxembourgish statesman, politician, and historian.

[1]: 143  Ulveling was elected as a member representing the canton of Wiltz to the Constituent Assembly that met in Ettelbruck, and helped write the new Constitution.

[3] When this was succeeded in 1853 by the Simons Ministry, Ulveling became a member of the executive board of the Hospices Civils and became a director of the Caisse de crédit foncier.

[4] Ulveling left many publications: some were overviews of the political situation of the periods which he had lived through, but most were concerned with historical issues.

The history of the construction of the Fortress of Luxembourg particularly fascinated him, and he wrote many articles on this in the Publications de l'Institut Grand-Ducal, Section Historique.
