The Dupong-Krier Ministry took office in Luxembourg on 5 November 1937 after the resignation of the prime minister Joseph Bech, due to the result of a referendum on the so-called Maulkuerfgesetz ("muzzle law").
It was a large coalition government between the Party of the Right and the Luxembourg Workers' Party. Initially, the Liberals also participated, but Étienne Schmit died on 19 December 1937. There was then a reshuffle on 7 February 1938. There was a further reshuffle on 6 April 1940 when Victor Bodson took over the portfolio of René Blum.
During the German invasion of Luxembourg on 10 May 1940, all members of the government apart from Nicolas Margue managed to make it over the border and into exile.
