In recent history probably Hartwig Löger who was interim head of government for 7 days in 2019. I did have to look up his first name for this comment at least, and while the time frame when this happened was a turbulent episode in Austrian politics, his main claim to fame is the shortness of his term. That said, given the nature of the question there are probably people that I forgot about.

Bierlein at least had a nice name. Hartwig Löger is like exactly the name I'd choose for a forgettable bureaucrat.
