Governor of Liechtenstein Following the November 1918 Liechtenstein putsch, Karl arrived in Vaduz to act as a mediator between the different parties. It was agreed that the Provisional Executive Committee, formed following the putsch would last one month when a replacement cabinet could be found. On 7 December 1918 it was dissolved and Karl was appointed as Governor of Liechtenstein by Johann II upon the recommendation of the Landtag of Liechtenstein on 13 December.
