Adolf Deucher

Adolf Deucher (15 February 1831 in Wipkingen – 10 July 1912 in Bern) was a federal councillor of Switzerland, and a two-time member of the Swiss National Council. Pursuing centralist policies in a very federalist country, he was a main promoter of the 1868 revision of the Swiss constitution.[1]

As a federal councillor, he improved conditions for workers (banning phosphorus in the match industry in 1898, revision of the factory law). He was also the guiding force behind the first national law on agriculture.[1]
