20 April 1860) was a
Belgian liberal politician.
Born in
Bruges, elder brother of future

United Kingdom of the Netherlands. He worked as a banker in
Maastricht and served as a representative for the province of
Limburg in the

He taught as a professor at the
Université Libre de Bruxelles, and in 1848 became mayor of
Brussels, a post he held continuously until his death. He was responsible for major urban renewal in the city, including the creation of water mains and the creation of the first boulevards in Brussels.
The
Place de Brouckère, and the
De Brouckère station, in central Brussels was named in his honour.
