Pierre Brasseur (21 January 1832 – 7 February 1918) was a Luxembourgish entrepreneur, businessman, and mining magnate, being involved in founding a number of industrial concerns in southern Luxembourg.
The following year, he was awarded a concession to mine an area of 77 hectares (0.30 sq mi) near Rumelange, in Luxembourg's Red Lands.
His success allowed him to establish in 1870 the Society of Blast Furnaces of Luxembourg (French: S.A. des Hauts Fourneaux Luxembourgeois), along with twenty-six other subscribers.
After mergers with German operations, and expansion in Esch-sur-Alzette and into Alsace-Lorraine, the company would become the second-largest industrial business in the Zollverein (after Krupp).
[7] On 17 November 1864, he married Hélène Wurth,[8] daughter of François-Xavier Wurth-Paquet, who had been a famous Luxembourgish politician and Administrator-General for Luxembourg.
