Johann Kaspar Laaba was the Landvogt of Liechtenstein from 1748 to 1751.[1]
He was from Hüfingen and studied law in Freiburg and Breisgau. He was a court councillor of the Margraviate of Baden, a legal council in Zell am Harmersbach, and also a court councillor to the court of the Hohenzollern-Hechingen.[2] He was appointed as the Landvogt of Liechtenstein on 4 February 1748, although he was considered unremarkable and was dismissed from office three years later in 1751 and was succeeded by Franz Karl von Grillot.[2][3]
He was later a court councillor at Einsiedeln Abbey in Switzerland and then at Schuttern Abbey in Friesenheim. He died at some point after 1756.[2]
