Georg Matthäus Vischer (22 April 1628 – 13 December 1696) was an Austrian topographer, cartographer, engraver and parish priest in (Upper Austria) and Vienna. Vischer was born in Wenns (Tyrol). Despite his clerical vocation, geography and topographical surveys were Vischer's true calling. On behalf of nobility and clergy he compiled maps and created engravings and drawings of more than 1000 cities, castles, manors, abbeys and cloisters in the regions of Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Upper Styria, Lower Styria, Moravia and Hungary. In most cases Vischer's engravings are amongst the oldest preserved depictions of these structures. He is regarded as one of the most important Austrian cartographers and topographers of his time. He died, aged 68, in Linz (Upper Austria).

  • Georg Matthäus Vischer (* 22. April 1628 in Wenns (Tirol); † 13. Dezember 1696 in Linz) war ein österreichischer Topograf, Kupferstecher und Geistlicher. Trotz seines geistlichen Berufes waren die Geografie und die Vermessungskunst seine eigentliche Berufung. Im Auftrag der Stände erstellte Vischer Landkarten und zeichnete Städte, Burgen, Schlösser und Klöster im Raum Niederösterreich, Oberösterreich, Steiermark, Mähren und Ungarn. Oft sind diese Stiche die ältesten erhaltenen Abbildungen derselben. Er zählt zu den bedeutendsten Kartografen und Topografen Österreichs. (de)
