biography

David Strub was the eldest of five children of the country Weibel Joseph Strub (1872-1939) and his wife Karolina (nee Thöny). Strub was a citizen of Vaduz and attended secondary school there. From 1913 to 1919 he was a diurnist at the government chancellery , from 1919 to 1923 he was government chancellery . After working at the bank in Liechtenstein from 1923 , he became an independent businessman and trustee in 1939. From 1945 to 1958 he sat on the board of directors of the bank in Liechtenstein. From 1959 to 1966 he was Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Liechtensteinische Landesbank .

Strub, who belonged to the Progressive Citizens' Party in Liechtenstein (FBP), was mayor of Vaduz from 1942 to 1966. As such, he drove the drainage of the Vaduzer Riet for agricultural use and had the water supply and sewerage of Vaduz expanded. In 1960, Liechtenstein's first sewage treatment plant was commissioned in Vaduz. Since the population of Vaduz increased from 2000 in 1942 to 4000 in 1966, another focus of his tenure was the expansion of the infrastructure.

In addition, he was a member of the Landtag of the Principality of Liechtenstein from 1945 to 1957 and served there from 1945 to 1954, from 1955 to 1956, and in 1957 as President of the Landtag . The multiple interruptions here were due to a compromise between the Progressive Citizens' Party and the Patriotic Union after the state elections in June 1953 , so that Strub took turns with Alois Ritter . Furthermore, Strub acted as vice-president of the state parliament in 1954 and 1956. In 1954 Prince Franz Josef II awarded him the Commander's Cross of the Princely Liechtenstein Order of Merit , and in 1956 the title of Princely Commerzienrat. In the state elections in 1957 , Strub decided not to run again in order to concentrate on his office as mayor. In 1977 he became an honorary citizen of Vaduz.

Strub had been married to Franziska Grünberger from Gries near Bozen since April 19, 1928 . The marriage resulted in two daughters. In early July 1984 he suffered a stroke from which he did not recover. He died on November 15, 1985 in Vaduz, five months after the death of his wife.
