With over 40,000 works on paper, Grafisches Kabinett in the Höhmannhaus in Augsburg has one of the most important collections of graphic art from the Baroque and Rococo period. It includes a rich collection of autographed drawings, copper engravings, etchings from the 16th to the 18th century. One of the oldest and most valuable sheets in the graphic arts collection is an autographed drawing by Hans Holbein the Younger, one of the most famous artists in the city. The graphic collection also has architectural designs by Elias Holl and prints by Johann Esaias Nilson. There are also numerous works by the families of artists Kilian and Rugendas. In addition to prints, the funds of autographed drawings from the Baroque era in particular constitute an important area of the graphic collection, including sheets by Cosmas Damian Asam, Matthäus Günther, Johann Heinrich Schönfeld, Johann König, Mathäus Gundelach and Januarius Zick, but also by artists such as Johann Georg Bergmüller, Johann Hot, Georg Philipp Rugendas and Michael Tenzel.

The visit is accessible by appointment only.

The Grafisches Kabinett annually organizes about four temporary exhibitions in which it makes the rich collection accessible to the public.
