Tibor Gaal (1861-1917) was Nominated Substitute Governor of Fiume (14.07.1897 - 23.11.1897) to replace the Governor, Rezsö báró Abele de Lilienberg, after his resignation. Gaal became several times Governor of Fiume ad interim, providing continuity to the office. Tibor Gaal can be considered as the single most important person at the gubernium in Fiume in the period 1896-1906. This shows, that also the nature of the governors changed: from powerful members of the greatest Hungarian aristocratic families to civil servants, who were mere executors of the governmental decisions.
