Where its name comes from

Kind of name: Commemorative name
Theme: Local notables

Victor Gendebien (1820-1896) fut bourgmestre de Schaerbeek de 1861 à 1864. L'hommage se fait sans doute aussi à son père, Alexandre Gendebien (1789-1869) qui fut un homme politique également. (remark in French, as published)
