| Predecessor | Josef Ospelt cabinet |
| Successor | First Hoop cabinet |
The Josef Ospelt cabinet was disbanded 27 April 1922 following Josef Ospelt's resignation as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein in April 1922.[1] After a month period of acting Prime Minister's by Alfons Feger and Felix Gubelmann the 1922 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Christian-Social People's Party and Gustav Schädler was appointed as Prime Minister.[2][3]
The government's term was characterized by being responsible for creating a monetary union with Switzerland in 1924.[4][5] It also oversaw the passing of a tax law referendum in 1922.[6] Lawyers Wilhelm Beck and Emil Beck (no relation) wrote the Liechtenstein Personal and Company law, which came into force in 1926.[7]
The government was the subject of an embezzlement scandal involving the National Bank of Liechtenstein in 1928. Johann II forced the government to resign in June 1928 as a result, and early elections were called.[8] Schädler was not barred from re-election, but lost the 1928 Liechtenstein general election and was succeeded by Josef Hoop in the First Hoop cabinet.[1][2][3]
