    Joachim Vadian (humanist name Vadianus, actually Joachim von Watt; * November 29, 1484 or rather on December 1, 1483 (see below) in St. Gallen; † April 6, 1551 ibid) was a humanist, physician and scholar as well as mayor and reformer of the city of St. Gallen.

    Since 1904, a monumental statue of Joachim von Watt (1484-1551), known as Vadian, has stood in place of the town hall that was demolished in 1877.
    The St. Gallen reformer, mayor, doctor and historian is the only person in St. Gallen who is honored with a larger-than-life monument.
