Johann Jäger (* 1667 in Bad Tölz ; † March 17, 1706 in Munich ) was a leader of the Bavarian popular uprising in 1705 .

Johann Jäger was born in Bad Tölz around 1667 as the son of a landlord and mayor. The house where he was born is the Höckh wine house that still exists today. He went to Munich as a waiter, where he acquired citizenship and a wine tavern in 1691 . He was married and had six children. In 1700 he applied for admission to the city's external council, which the magistrate initially rejected.

The Jägerwirt seems to have had good relations with the court, because three months later, Elector Maximilian II Emanuel ordered the council to accept Jäger. As a member of the Foreign Council, Jäger was soon entrusted with various tasks, presentations and business. He was an ambitious man and, according to Christian Probst's description, tended to be a little boastful.

Nor does he seem to have done well, for he left behind heavy debts after his execution on March 17, 1706.
