Hermann Kessler

Hermann Kessler ( ; 12 April 1860 – 23 November 1927) was a Liechtensteiner-German engineer and entrepreneur.

Early life Kessler was born on 12 April 1860 in Vaduz as one of the six children of the son of Landtag of Liechtenstein member and district judge Markus Kessler and Anna Amalie Menzinger.

He attended high school in Feldkirch and then studied natural sciences, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering in Zurich and Stuttgart.

He returned to Germany in 1908, where he continued to manage the company's business in Japan from Berlin. As a result, Kessler faced a public accusation from the German Reichstag by Karl Liebknecht, but was not charged.

After his return to Germany in 1908, Kessler visited his home-country of Liechtenstein every year. In 1906 he had a holiday home built in the country. He frequently commented on politics within the country and acted as a charitable donor in Liechtenstein.
