Altdorfer [Altdorffer; Altorfer].
German family of painters, draughtsmen, printmakers and architects. The painter Ulrich Altdorfer ( fl 1468–91), who became a Regensburg citizen in 1478, may have been the father of (1) Albrecht Altdorfer and (2) Erhard Altdorfer. The family name undoubtedly derives from one of several towns named Altdorf in Switzerland and Bavaria, though Albrecht Altdorfer’s Regensburg citizenship record (1505) refers to him as a ‘painter from Amberg’.
