Life

Müssner, the daughter of an insurance salesman, attended Feldkirch High School, and earned a doctorate in pharmacy in 1986 at the University of Innsbruck. She was the head of the preclinical department at Ivoclar in Schaan from 1986 to 2001, and then worked as a pharmaceutical chemistry consultant.^[1]

Müssner served as a government councillor from 2009 to 2013.^[2][1] Her roles were healthcare, social affairs, environment, space, agriculture, and forestry.^[3] During her term as councillor she presented plans for a new state hospital, saying the old building could be renovated but would still have problems, and a new building was a better long-term solution.^[4][5] However the loan proposals to fund the new hospital were rejected during a vote.^[6]

Müssner was part of the Patriotic Union party (VU). In 2012 she announced that she had indicated her willingness to run for election again to the VU party president, but had not received a reply. She therefore did not run for another four-year term, and stepped down the following year.^[7]

As of 2017, she has vice president of the Liechtenstein Patients' Organization since 2015.^[1]
