Norbert Haupert
View on WikipediaNorbert Haupert (born 2 April 1940, in Schifflange) is a retired Luxembourgish athlete and politician of the Christian Social People's Party. He was a member of the Chamber of Deputies from 1999 to 2013, representing the Sud constituency.

As an athlete, he ran middle distance, dominating Luxembourgish middle distance running in the early 1960s and twice doubling up to win both the 800 metres and 1500 metres at the Luxembourgish national championships.[1] He also won the bronze medal at the 800 metres at the 1963 World Student Games.[2] He represented Luxembourg at the 1960 Summer Olympics.
In addition to having sat in the Chamber, Haupert has been a member of the Mondercange communal council since 1 January 1999.[3]
