Matthäus Merian was born as the son of the saw miller and councilor Walther Merian. After attending high school, he learned drawing, engraving and etching from the Zurich engraver Friedrich Meyer. From 1610 to 1615 he studied and worked in Strasbourg (with Friedrich Brentel), Nancy and Paris (with Jacques Callot). His large Basel city plan was created in Basel in 1615.After his travels via Augsburg, Stuttgart and the Netherlands, Merian came to Frankfurt am Main and Oppenheim in 1616, where he worked for the publisher and engraver Johann Theodor de Bry; de Bry owned an engraving shop in Oppenheim and a publishing house in Frankfurt, where large travel books on the Far Eastern countries were prepared at the time. In 1617 Merian married Maria Magdalena de Bry, his employer's daughter. During this time he also worked for the engraver and publisher Eberhard Kieser. In 1620 he moved back to his hometown of Basel, where he acquired guild rights and became self-employed. After his father-in-law's death (1623), he continued his publishing house in Frankfurt and acquired Frankfurt citizenship in 1626. In 1627 he took Wenzel Hollar into his workshop as a student.After his wife's death (1645), Merian married Johanna Sibylla Heim in 1646. From his first marriage there are three daughters (Susanna Barbara, Margaretha and Maria Magdalena) and three sons: the two Matthäus Merian the Younger and Caspar Merian, who also work in his workshop, as well as Joachim.

As soon as the Swedish general Wrangel was protected in the hinterland by the armistice between Maximilian of Bavaria and the Swedes and the French in Ulm in March 1647, he marched with his army to the northeast, conquered Schweinfurt and invaded Bohemia. On June 14, 1647, he besieged the city of Eger, which he declared was the key to Bohemia. In the meantime, a strong imperial army concentrated under the command of General Graf Holzapfel, who was originally called Melander. Even Emperor Ferdinand III. came to Budweis to lend more weight to the prepared combat action. Despite the approaching army, the Swedes were able to capture Eger by chord on July 5. The neutrality of the Elector of Saxony and the ever increasing pressure from the imperial army finally forced Wrangel to leave Bohemia and move through Thuringia to the source area of ??the Weser.
