Diet in Baden 1531, of which Kaltwetter was a member

Jakob Kaltwetter (* before 1502; † 1537 in Baden ) was a council member, commissioner for administration and judge of the city of Baden.

Kaltwetter is considered a strict Catholic in the time of the Counter Reformation and, as a citizen of the city of Baden in Aargau, has achieved great merits with his diplomatic negotiating skills. For the years 1502 to 1510 he is mentioned several times in the files as court lord, for 1505 he was intended for the Council of Forty , and in 1511 for the Small Council . These callings suggest that Kaltwetter came from an influential family. According to the files, he was also the caretaker and master of the city hospital until 1526.

As early as 1503, Kaltwetter was a participant in the so-called train of the Confederates to Bellinzona and Lombardy, in order to successfully complete the success of Louis XII. to break the trade ban. Ten years later he was Venner on a mission to the Duchy of Milan ( Battle of Marignano ). In 1527 Kaltwetter replaced the Reformation-happy Bernhard Brunner in office as subordinate, on November 28, 1528 he convinced the neighboring community of Klingnau with a letter of recommendation from Bishop Konrad von Konstanz that they swore the oath of allegiance to the Catholic doctrine. Other neighboring towns such as Zurzach and Kaiserstuhl followed. Klingnau was important because shortly after the oath six Anabaptists could be named, all of whom were initially arrested. The council of the city of Klingnau treated them very carefully; shortly afterwards, all but one were released.

In 1531, Kaltwetter was determined by an order of the Five Places as a leader of the Battle of Kappel , which was directed against the food ban of the Reformed . After these armed conflicts he did his service again in the city administration and in the small council.

Jakob Kaltwetter owned a house in the Halde which was named after his patron saint Jakob (today's house Haldenstrasse 7). He was married twice and in 1518 was the donor of a picture disc of Wettingen Monastery (north side III 1) on which he is depicted.
