Hans Schwemmer (11 September 1945 – 1 October 2001) was a German prelate of the Catholic Church who worked in the diplomatic service of the Holy See.
He attended Augustinus High School [de] in Weiden and studied theology at the University of Regensburg.
[2] On 9 July 1997, Pope John Paul II appointed him titular archbishop of Rebellum and Apostolic Nuncio Papua New Guinea and to the Solomon Islands.
[2] In Papua New Guinea, he confronted two priests who were holding public office, both provincial governors, in violation of canon law.
One of them, Robert Lak, Governor of Western Highlands, said he had an understanding with his bishop and rejected Schwemmer's authority.
