The Loutsch Ministry was in office in Luxembourg from 6 November 1915 to 24 February 1916.
When the government of Mathias Mongenast resigned, Grand Duchess Marie-Adélaïde appointed a new government headed by Hubert Loutsch, composed entirely of members of the Party of the Right.[1] While the political and economic situation became more and more tense, and required radical government measures, the Loutsch government did not possess a majority in the Chamber of Deputies, with 20 Deputies on the right compared with 32 Deputies on the left.[1] To break the deadlock, the Grand Duchess decided to dissolve the Chamber and call new elections on 23 December 1915.[1] This act by the Grand Duchess was allowed under the Constitution, but was regarded as highly unconventional, and provoked an outcry from the Deputies on the left.[1] The socialists and liberals in parliament never forgave Marie-Adélaïde for the dissolution, which they saw as a coup d'état.[1]
In the ensuing elections of 23 December, the political right gained seats but still did not achieve a majority (25 Deputies on the right, versus 27 on the left). On 11 January 1916, the Loutsch government lost a confidence vote, and was forced to resign.[1]
