Biography

A native of The Hague, his father was Abraham van Karnebeek (1836–1925), a conservative-liberal politician who also served as Minister of Foreign Affairs, from 1885 to 1888.

Herman Adriaan van Karnebeek studied law at the University of Utrecht. A conservative liberal like his father, he served as Mayor of the Hague (1911–1918) before becoming Minister of Foreign Affairs on 9 September 1918 in the first cabinet of jhr. Charles Ruijs de Beerenbrouck. A staunch pro-German, he continued to serve as Foreign Minister in the first cabinet of dr. Hendrik Colijn. He eventually resigned when his concept treaty with Belgium was rejected by a parliamentary majority on 1 April 1927. In 1928, he became the Queen's commissioner in South Holland, a position he held until his death in 1942. From 1936 until his death, he also served as chairman of the Carnegie Foundation.

He died on 29 March 1942, aged 67, in The Hague.
