The Staatsgalerie Altdeutsche Meister, often referred to as the Staatsgalerie in der Katharinenkirche, is an art museum situated in the old town of Augsburg. The museum was established after 1806 and relocated to the Katharinenkirche of the former Augsburg Katharinenkloster in 1835. This makes it the oldest branch gallery of the Bavarian State Painting Collections.

The gallery is home to the most valuable collection of old German painting in Bavaria, primarily featuring works from the Augsburg and Swabian schools of the late Middle Ages and the early Renaissance. This period marks the golden age of Augsburg painting, making the collection a significant representation of this era.

One of the highlights of the exhibition is the world-renowned portrait of Jacob Fugger, created by the Nuremberg artist Albrecht Dürer around 1519.
