Philipp Kutter

Philipp Mario Kutter (German pronunciation: [ˈfɪlɪp ˈkʊtɐ]; born 31 August 1975) is a Swiss historian, journalist, public relations consultant and politician who currently serves as member of the National Council (Switzerland) for The Centre since 2018 and concurrently also serves as mayor (city president) of Wädenswil since 2010. He previously served on the Cantonal Council of Zürich between 2007 and 2018.

In early February 2023, he broke two cervical vertebrae while skiing, resulting in paralysis of his legs and right arm. Consequently, he received inpatient care at the Swiss Paraplegic Centre in Nottwil until the end of October 2023. During this time, he delegated all tasks at the municipal, regional, and national levels to his deputies. In August 2023, he was able to partially resume his duties as the city's mayor. By the end of 2023, he returned to live at home.
