Theophil Sprecher von Bernegg

Theophil Andreas Luzius Sprecher von Bernegg (27 April 1850, Maienfeld – 6 December 1927) was a Swiss politician and military Chief of the General Staff (1905–1919).

At the outbreak of World War I, he declined the office of General, which led to Colonel Ulrich Wille being elected.
