Michael Wening (1645 Nuremberg - Munich 1718, copper engraver) became an official copper engraver at court of the elector Ferdinand Maria of Bavaria in 1669. His most important work, a comprehensive and detailed description of the entire electorate, was published from 1701. Four volumes with about 750 plates contain the views of (nearly) all towns, villages, castles and monasteries of Bavaria.
