  2. Karl Theodor (born August 28, 1825 in Jagsthausen; † May 18, 1885 in Edenkoben in the Palatinate), pharmacist in Lauterecken and Edenkoben. Karl was married four times and had six children.

As a senior bailiff in Heidenheim, he headed a committee that was responsible for building the railway through the Brenz valley . Kausler participated in the publication of the first Heidenheim Oberamtsbeschreibung. During the revolution of 48 he showed great skill, tact and moderation. In 1853 he was transferred to Herrenberg . This was a punishment transfer for various mistakes during the revolution of 1848 from the point of view of the government at the time. One reason for the transfer was probably that he had shook hands with the democrat Karl Freisleben on the street after his return from prison. After the transfer, Kausler was Oberamtmann in Herrenberg until 1870.

In 1860 Kausler was made a knight of the Frederick Order .

Kausler retired in 1870 with the rank of government councilor and moved to Stuttgart.
