Johann Baptist Homann was born in Nuremberg in Southern Germany where he spent his whole life.

Homann's company successfully competed with leading European mapmakers. At the end of 2000 during inventory work at the Austrian State Archives in Vienna, a document concerning the appointment of Johann Baptist Homann (1663–1724) as the imperial geographer was found. Included in the document was the corresponding petition by Homann to Emperor Charles VI.
