Störmarsch/Itzehoe — Map of the Districts, Historical map

The map Störmarsch/Itzehoe — “Map of the districts that contain the Stoermarsch” was reissued in a scale of 1:25,000. The data contained were measured in 1794 by Lieutenant of Justi. 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.
