Description

Fine original antique map published by Peter van den Keere at the start of the 17th century, showing the region north of Erfurt and Weimar in central Germany.

The map shows a number of cities in the region in detail and includes a number of other fascinating features, such as forests, mountains, rivers, and more. The map shows a number of crisscrossing rivers in this flat and partially dredged portion of the country.

The region was, at the time, part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was in the midst of the devastating Thirty Years' War, fought over religious and ethnic differences throughout Europe.
