13 famous people were born in Gérardmer, most of them between 1914 and 1969

Edward Gardère (French foil and sabre fencer (1909-1997)) is the best known by our measure: 18 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come André Gardère and Patrick Rémy.

13 people born in Gérardmer have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 20 people here; the rest aren’t listed because an article names somewhere else or no town, or a check couldn’t be completed.

Among its famous people, leaders: 4 of the 13. That is 31% of the town’s list, against 24% across French towns.

Maximilien Kelsch, born in 1844. The youngest on the list was born in 1976.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Gérardmer itself, matched by its INSEE code (a commune merged into it counts when the dates allow), whose French Wikipedia article agrees, and their English article too when they have one. A hospital or neighbourhood recorded without its commune isn’t matched. People who only lived here, adult performers and people known mainly for crimes aren’t listed.

Their Wikidata birthplace may be a hospital, a neighbourhood or a wider area, another commune, or missing, or their articles may not name a birthplace. We only list people the sources agree on; editing Wikidata or Wikipedia changes this page at the next refresh.
