He was a founding member of the Liechtenstein Institute and from 1987 to 2010 he was Research Officer for Contemporary History. From 2010 to 2020, he was appointed Co-Chairman of the Liechtenstein-Czech Historical Commission.

The Historical Commission mourns the loss of its esteemed colleague, who was strongly committed to the historical reappraisal of Liechtenstein-Czech relations.

We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved.
