Fernand De Saintignon
Count Fernand de Saintignon (26 January 1846 – 2 January 1921) was a French steel maker. He was descended from an old aristocratic family, and became owner of a steel company with operations in Luxembourg and Lorraine by marriage. He was also interested in scientific subjects, and published several papers. He developed a spa around a source of pure, hot water discovered accidentally while exploring for coal deposits. Life Early years Fernand de Saintignon came from a family that had held the hereditary office of viscount-bailiff in Lorraine, was among the "Grands Chevaux de Lorraine", and during the 18th century was several times admitted to the Honors of the Court. The family owned several seigneuries, and had a regiment in its name, the Saintignon-dragoons, from 1759 to 1779. From the start of the 18th century the family had the title of count. A now-extinct branch was given the title of Baron of the Holy Roman Empire in 1746. In 1835 Fernand's grandfather, Charles-Joseph de ...

Thionville
Thionville (; ; german: Diedenhofen ) is a city in the northeastern French department of Moselle. The city is located on the left bank of the river Moselle, opposite its suburb Yutz. History Thionville was settled as early as the time of the Merovingians. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the region was inhabited by the Germanic Alamanni. It was known in the Latin of that era as ''Theudonevilla'' or ''Totonisvilla''. King Pepin the Short had a royal palace constructed here. The Synod of Thionville was held here beginning on February 2, 835. It reinstated Emperor Louis the Pious and reversed his former conviction on crimes — none of which he actually committed — and deposed the Archbishop of Rheims, Ebbo. The Synod was composed of 43 bishops. On February 28, 835, in Mainz, Ebbo admitted that Louis had not committed the crimes of which he had been indicted and for which he had been deposed as Holy Roman Emperor. From the 10th century onward, the area ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Comité Des Forges
The Comité des forges (Foundry Committee) was an organization of leaders of the French iron and steel industry from 1864 to 1940, when it was dissolved by the Vichy government. It typically took a protectionist attitude on trade issues, and was opposed to social legislation that would increase costs. At times it was influential, particularly during World War I (1914–18), and the Left often viewed it with justified suspicion. However the Comité des forges always suffered from divisions among its members, and the government often ignored its advice. Foundation In 1850 the French iron masters created an Assemblée Générale des Maîtres de Forges de France, under the presidency of Léon Talabot (1796–1863) head of Denain-Anzin. At the end of the year it took the name of Comité des Maîtres de Forges. In 1855 Talabot assumed the title of president of the Comité des Forges. In 1860 Talabot also became president of a new Association for the Defense of National Labor, which w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Adrien Charles Joseph Robert de Wendel d'Hayange (9 May 1847 – 27 August 1903), often known as Robert de Wendel, was a French steelmaker, heir of a long line of Lorraine industrialists. He and his brother Henri ran several large steelworks in Lorraine. From 1898 until his accidental death in 1903 he was president of the Comité des forges, the French steelmakers' association. Early years The de Wendel family can be traced back to Jean Wendel of Bruges, who married Marie de Wanderve around 1600. His descendants in the male line mostly pursued military careers. Jean's descendant Jean-Martin Wendel (1665–1737) purchased the factories of Le Comte in Hayange, Lorraine, in 1704. This was the foundation of the family's industrial operations. He was ennobled as Jean-Martin de Wendel in 1727 by Leopold, Duke of Lorraine. He was followed by eight generations of steelmakers. Adrien Charles Joseph Robert de Wendel d'Hayange was born on 9 May 1847 in Souhey. He was the second son of Ale ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
