The Walter Kieber cabinet was the governing body of Liechtenstein from 27 March 1974 to 26 April 1978. It was appointed by Franz Joseph II and chaired by Walter Kieber.
The 1974 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Progressive Citizens' Party.[1] As a result, the Alfred Hilbe cabinet was dissolved with Walter Kieber succeeding Alfred Hilbe as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein.[2][3]
In 1975, Kieber was a signatory of the Helsinki Accords to create the Conference for Security and Co-operation in Europe, the precursor of today's OSCE.[4] The government also oversaw Liechtenstein's full ascension into the Council of Europe in 1978.[5]
The 1978 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union.[6] As a result, the cabinet was dissolved and succeeded by Hans Brunhart as prime minister in the First Hans Brunhart cabinet.[3][7]
