The FSPL Turns 80 The “Fédération des Sociétés philatéliques du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg” was founded in the City of Luxembourg on 22 February 1934. The articles of incorporation were signed by the four presidents of the “Philatelia Diff erdange”, “Cercle d’Echanges Phila Dudelange”, “Cercle philatélique d’Esch sur Alzette” and “Union des Timbrophiles de Luxembourg” associations. The following reasons were listed for the FSPL coming into being: a national association would help to increase the value of our postage stamps, amalgamating the associations would fulfi l the motto “L’Union fait la force” and the existence of a national association would allow us to have a say at international level. Today, in 2014, the FSPL boasts 1,700 full members in 35 associations. The FSPL was accepted as a member of the FIP (Fédération Internationale de Philatélie) in 1934. After the Second World War, there followed the major international exhibitions “100 Years of Luxembourg Stamps” in 1952, “Millennial Celebration of the City of Luxembourg” in 1963 and the fi rst world youth stamp exhibition “JUVENTUS 1969” in 1969. The major national propaganda exhibition, where parts of the collection of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England were displayed in Luxembourg for the first time, was held in 2012 under the themes “Treasures of Philately” and “160 Joer Lëtzebuerger Timber”.
