Paul Homberger (* approx. 1560, probably in Graz; † 23.12.1634 in Regensburg) was a teacher, composer and cantor. The theologian Jeremias Homberger, his father, worked in Graz from 1574 as an organizer of the Protestant church, which earned him the enmity of the Graz Jesuits and Archduke Charles. It resulted in him to relocate to Regensburg in 1585. Paul Homberger received his education there and in Wittenberg. Later he stayed in Italy (in Padua in 1595), where he was a pupil of Giovanni Gabrieli. In 1598 he worked temporarily as a preceptor at the Protestant collegiate school in Graz, and until 1601 he can also be found in Spitz on the Danube and in Weißenkirchen near Krems. From 1601 he lived and worked in Regensburg as a teacher and cantor at the Gymnasium.

Homberger composed numerous sacred (with texts based on the Old Testament) and secular chants, the texts of which he wrote at least in part himself. Here he demonstrated his talent for well-crafted popular music. All of his compositions from the period up to 1601 (church music, festive music, wedding and bridal songs) are lost.
