Leopold Freiherr von Imhof

Leopold Freiherr von Imhof (7 July 1869 – 30 April 1922) was an Austrian civil servant who served as the Governor of Liechtenstein from 1914 to 1918.

[1] Shortly after his appointment World War I began, which Imhof initially responded to with enthusiasm and was strongly supportive of the Central Powers.

[1] By November 1918, opposition members Wilhelm Beck, Martin Ritter and Fritz Walser, deeply dissatisfied by Imhof's handling of the economy and who wanted a Liechtensteiner head of state, proposed a motion of no confidence against him.

While the Landtag of Liechtenstein unanimously expressed its confidence in him it was decided, against the constitution, to transfer the power of Governor to a Provisional Executive Committee led by Martin Ritter and Johann II accepted Imhof's resignation on 13 November.

[8] The government rejected the state's contribution to Imhof's pension as he was entitled to one only after ten years of service in Liechtenstein.
