SERVAIS Moritz

(1884 - 1951)
Weilerbach (DE)

Moritz SERVAIS was born in 1884 in the Castle of Weilerbach (DE). He was the youngest son of Emile SERVAIS, owner of the Weilerbachr-Hütte.
Historian Hiltrud HOLZBERGER wrote the following in 2007:
Der jüngste Sohn Maurice, genannt Seny, wurde am 19. Juli 1884 im Schloß von Weilerbach geboren. Nach dem Abitur, das er 1903 am Gymnasium in Echternach ablegte, studierte er an dem der Uni­versität Lüttich angegliederten Institut Montefiori für Elektrotechnik und erwarb dort das Ingenieurdiplom. Seine Abschlussarbeit trug den Titel:
“Electrifi­cation de la ligne Luxembourg-Remich par récupération du courant” (Elektrifi­zierung der Bahnlinie Luxemburg-Remich durch Stromrückgewinnung).
Emile SERVAIS had three sons who all became engineer. When he decided to step down as Director of the Weilerbacher-Hütte in 1923 he chose his son Moritz SERVAIS as his successor.
In 1951, as a result of his declining health, Moritz SERVAIS transferred the management of the Weilerbach operation to his daughter Marie Louise HERKRATH-SERVAIS.
Moritz SERVAIS died in Weilerbach in 1951.
