On Sunday, 6 April 2025, our long-standing co-chairman Dr Peter Geiger passed away after a short, serious illness.

PD Dr Peter Geiger

was a historian and long-standing lecturer at the University of Teacher Education St. Gallen and later a private lecturer at the University of Fribourg. He devoted his research work to Liechtenstein's history during the 1930s and during the Second World War.

He was a founding member of the Liechtenstein Institute and from 1987 to 2010 he was research fellow for contemporary history. In 2010–2020, he was appointed co-chair of the Liechtenstein-Czech Historical Commission.

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

We extend our deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
