Antoine Wehenkel

Antoine Wehenkel

Antoine Wehenkel (10 February 1910 – 27 February 1992) was a Luxembourgian politician and engineer. He was a member of the Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party (LSAP), of which he was President (1970 – 1974).

Wehenkel was first elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1951, and would continue to be so until 1974. Wehenkel withdrew from sitting as a deputy to take his place in the government of Pierre Werner between 1964 and 1969, holding the position of Minister for the Budget and the newly-created office of Minister for the National Economy and Energy. With the LSAP ejected from government by a shift of coalition in 1969, Wehenkel turned to be President of the Chamber, which he remained until 1974, when he retired from politics.

He was a member of the communal council of Luxembourg City between 1951 and 1964.
