Summary
With these few selected examples of large-scale manuscript maps created during the southern German Renaissance, I hope to have shown that they are valuable documents of the spatial environment of the Holy Roman Empire and that they represent the landscape in different forms and perspectives. These maps served as functional instruments of adjudication in law courts and for administration, but today they can also be used as proxy data for climate and especially cultural and environmental history. However, this extensive map corpus needs to be digitized and studied in greater detail. Only then will it be possible to compare the maps individually on a national and international level.
