Johann Kaspar Laaba
landvogt of Liechtenstein from 1748 to 1751
Johann Kaspar Laaba was the Landvogt of Liechtenstein from 1748 to 1751.
He was from Hüfingen and studied law in Freiburg and Breisgau. He was a court councillor of the Margraviate of Baden, a legal council in Zell am Harmersbach, and also a court councillor to the court of the Hohenzollern-Hechingen. He was appointed as the Landvogt of Liechtenstein on 4 February 1748, although he was considered unremarkable and was dismissed from office three years later in 1751 and was succeeded by Franz Karl von Grillot.
He was later a court councillor at Einsiedeln Abbey in Switzerland and then at Schuttern Abbey in Friesenheim. He died at some point after 1756.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Johann Kaspar Laaba” as landvogt of Liechtenstein from 1748 to 1751. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as landvogt of Liechtenstein from 1748 to 1751. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 8, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q136455887. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1748, 1751, 1756 and 1937.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
