Marcel Fischbach

Marcel Fischbach (22 August 1914 – 27 June 1980) was a Luxembourgish politician, journalist, and diplomat.

He held the position of Minister for Defence in the second cabinet of Pierre Werner.

After the Second World War, Fischbach sat in both the Chamber of Deputies (1945 – 1958 and 1959 – 1964) and Luxembourg City's Luxembourg communal council (1945 – 1964).

However, a political crisis erupted in late 1966 over the final transformation of the Luxembourgian army into an all-volunteer force, over which Fischbach resigned from the cabinet, and retired from politics, on 3 January 1967.

Marcel's son, Marc Fischbach, would also go on to serve as Minister for Defence (1984 – 1989).
