THILL Sébastien
THILL was born in Hautcharage in 1887; his father was Eisenbahn-Angestellter.
He completed his secondary studies at the Gymnasium in Diekirch and qualified as engineer around the year 1908.
An obituary published in 1953 provides the following short account of his professional career (see Addendum):
Comme ingénieur, Séb. Thill avait acquis des connaissances solides, apanage que son esprit éveillé et son énergie ne faisaient qu’accroître au cours de son curriculum. Quand, en 1918, il quitta les usines de Dommeldange, où il avait occupé avec brio le poste de chef de service de la fonderie d’acier, il embrassa la carrière d’ingénieur-conseil et de représentant qu’il exerça jusqu’à la fin de ses jours avec un rare succès. Les résultats qu’il obtint dans cette branche furent excessivement fructueux pour ses commettants, grâce à son activité inlassable et son habileté dans les relations humaines.
THILL is reported ashaving cooperated with the DUCHSCHER firm of Wecker in 1922 and with the FERRO-KNEPPER firm of Esch sur Alzette in 1929.
His office was located at the following addresses:
– first (at least as of 1920) in 33, avenue Victor Hugo in Luxembourg-Limpertsberg
– later (as of 1933) in 2, rue Crécy, Luxembourg-Belair.
Sébastien THILL died in Locarno/Switzerland in 1953.
