Ortsblätter (Cartographic Maps) of the 19th Century

The Kingdom of Bavaria was charted comprehensively for the first time in the 19th century. A land register for taxation purposes was charted from 1808 to 1853, resulting in approximately 22,000 large-format land-register maps. Among these extensive holdings, 2,400 cartographic maps are published here exclusively.
