Dataset description

The maps are based on topographical photographs from 1849 and 1850 by Franz Geerz, then chief quartermaster of the Schleswig-Holstein army. These are 4 cards that have been reprinted on a scale of 1:40,000. The historical maps are contemporary cultural witnesses of cartography and in particular reflect the political distribution of power. The historically interested user of the map can easily get a picture of the prevailing power of the country and the subsequent developments. The map representation is unusual compared to today’s cards. This mainly includes compliance with an odd scale. The reason is the conversion of rod, cubit or foot dimensions. Furthermore, the maps were mainly used for the military purposes of the respective sovereign.
