He came from the Basel knight family of Münch von Münchenstein , which died out with him in the male line. The addition of Löwenburg came from the extinct family of the same name, whose line of succession this branch of Münch had taken over. Beat Anton's parents were the prince-bishop of Basel secret council and later Landhofmeister Johann Peter Münch von Münchenstein called von Löwenburg , as well as his wife Maria Jacobea Katharina von Roggenbach ; the latter a niece of the Basel prince-bishop Johann Konrad I von Roggenbach and his brother of the Landkomtur of the Deutschordensballei Swabia-Alsace-Burgundy , Johann Hartmann von Roggenbach .
