von Siebenthal, Gottfried

Gottfried von Siebenthal (IV) was born in 1946 in his parents’ house on Gstaad square. As a long-time businessman in the family enterprise and local politician, he has witnessed Gstaad’s history and played a decisive role in shaping it. Since childhood, the local historian has been a passionate collector of old photos and stories from “his” village. This has resulted in three richly illustrated books on the history of Gstaad, which have been translated into several languages. Gottfried von Siebenthal and his wife Katharina Imhof from Liestal have four children and nine grandchildren.
