The family name Schongauer probably derives from the town of Schongau, although from 1329 the family is documented in Augsburg, where they were members of the gentry. Caspar Schongauer, a well-known goldsmith, moved from Augsburg to Colmar in 1445. He had 5 sons, three of them became gold- and silversmiths, and two, Martin and Ludwig, engravers and painters.
