Life

Benedikt Zöpf probably came from a family of artists from Wessobrunn in the Weilheim-Schongau district in Bavaria. His date of birth is unknown. Since no age is given in the entry of the parish of Mülln, the year of birth is also unknown. Stadtamhof near Regensburg was supposedly his place of birth or first place of work. His creative period was between 1748 and 1769 .
