Wendelin Lampert (born 21 April 1970) is a politician from Liechtenstein who has served in the Landtag of Liechtenstein since 2001.

Life

Lampert was born on 21 April 1970 in Triesenberg as the son of mechanic Hans Lampert and Rosmarie Sele as one of three children. He attended secondary school in Vaduz, and then vocational secondary school in St. Gallen. From 1987 to 1991 he conducted an apprenticeship as a plumber in Vaduz. From 1992 to 1995 he studied building technologies, specifically in the area of heating, ventilation and air conditioning in Lucerne, where he graduated with a diploma. He has worked as a plumbing engineer at various locations in Liechtenstein and Switzerland. [1]

Since 1998 Lampert has been the head of the Public Procurement Department in the Liechtenstein National Administration. Since 2001, he has been a member of the Landtag of Liechtenstein and a member of the finance committee. [1] During this time, among other things, he has advocated for a ban on oil and gas heating on new buildings in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and Liechtenstein's accession to the International Monetary Fund in 2024. [2] [3] In 2023, the Liechtensteiner Vaterland referred to Lampert as the "most talkative person in the state parliament". [4]

Lampert married Sandra Beck (born 14 September 1972) on 26 September 2008 and they have two children together. [1]
