Year of birth unknown; died July 5, 1626. Leader of the Peasant War of 1626 in Upper Austria.

Fadinger, who was probably a village craftsman and a former soldier, proved to be a talented military organizer. Under his command, the insurgents of the Peasant War of 1626 occupied nearly all of Upper Austria.
