Johannes Schober
Johannes "Johann" Schober (14 November 1874 in
Perg – 19 August 1932 in
Baden bei Wien) was an Austrian
jurist, law enforcement official, and
politician. Schober was appointed
Vienna Chief of Police in 1918 and became the founding president of
Interpol in 1923, holding both positions until his death. He served as the
chancellor of Austria from June 1921 to May 1922 and again from September 1929 to September 1930. He also served ten stints as an acting minister, variously leading the ministries of education, finance, commerce, foreign affairs, justice, and the interior, sometimes just for a few days or weeks at a time. Although Schober was elected to the
National Council as the leader of a loose coalition of
Greater German People's Party and
Landbund near the end of his career, he never formally joined any political party. Schober remained the only chancellor in Austrian history with no official ideological affiliation until 2019, when
Brigitte Bierlein was appointed, becoming the first woman to take office.
