Biography

Emile Haag was born in Hunsdorf. After his secondary education at the Lycée classique de Diekirch, he went on to study history in Aix-en-Provence and Paris.

After completing his military service, he went on to pursue a Luxembourg doctorate (1968), through the system called "collation des grades", and became a teacher at the Athénée de Luxembourg. In 1981, he became deputy principal, and from 1993 until 2007 he was the principal of this school.

From 1969 on Haag also taught at the European branch of the Miami University Dolibois European Center (MUDEC) in Luxembourg. Between 1971 and 1973 he was also a guest lecturer at Miami University in the US-state of Ohio and received an award for outstanding teaching.

From 1973 until 1980, he was involved in research at the National archives of Luxembourg, and later taught Modern History at the University Centre of Luxembourg, predecessor of the University of Luxembourg (founded 2003).

In 2015, he published a lavishly illustrated book, The Rise of Luxembourg from Independence to Success, a book chronicling Luxembourg's recent history.[2]

Since 1978 he has been a corresponding member of the Historical section of the Grand Ducal Institute, and since 2008 he was the President of the Association for the historical heritage of Luxembourg, the << Union luxembourgeoise pour l'histoire et le patrimoine >> (ULHP).
