Hans Weilhammer (first name also spelled Hanns,[1] last name also spelled Weilheimer;[2] Slovenized as Janez or Janž Weilhammer)[3] was a sixteenth-century politician in Slovenia when the country was under the Holy Roman Empire. Weilhammer may have come to Ljubljana from Salzburg.[2] He became mayor of Ljubljana in 1536[4][5] and was the first mayor to serve a term of eight years, double the previous longest term.[6] He was succeeded by Volk Gebhardt in 1544.
