Karl Freiherr Haus von Hausen

Karl Freiherr Haus von Hausen (29 September 1823 – 29 July 1889) was an Austrian noble and civil servant who served as the Governor of Liechtenstein from 1861 to 1884. Having grown up in Vienna in a noble family, he worked in the government of Lower Austria, and was successively a district administrator in Poysdorf and Korneuburg, and then head of the district office at Valtice, before taking up his position in Liechtenstein. As governor of the principality, he was tasked with overseeing the introduction of its 1862 constitution as well as various other reforms. He resigned in ill health in 1884 and died just under five years later, having been created a baron by the Prince of Liechtenstein in 1884.
