Isidor Siegfried Lissner (1832 – 22 July 1902)[3] was a politician in Queensland, Australia. He was a Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.
Early life
Lissner was born in Posen, Prussia, the son of Siegfried Lissner and Julia Gluckmann.[2]
Mining
He emigrated in 1856 to Victoria (Australia), where, after a varied experience on the gold diggings, he went to New Zealand and subsequently to Queensland, where he first settled at Ravenswood, Queensland and then moved to Charters Towers.[4] Lissner came to England with Mr. Black in 1887 as the representative of the Charters Towers miners to assist Harold Finch-Hatton in pressing the question of North Queensland Separation on the attention of the Home Government.[4]
Politics
Lissner was member for Kennedy from 5 October 1883 to 13 May 1893, (Secretary for Mines and Public Works 27 March 1893 to 25 May 1893) and member for Cairns from 4 April 1896 to 11 March 1899.[5]
Later life
Lissner died in 1902 and was buried in Toowong Cemetery.[6]
The heritage-listed Lissner Park in Charters Towers is named after him.[7]
