A map library is a treasure trove of geographic information. It is not just an archive, it is a window to the world and the times—a place of discovery and curiosity. One can lose oneself within it, but also find oneself. Many maps of different regions and a wide range of topics are stored here and made accessible. These are maps with a particular relevance that have been developed and designed over time. May the maps presented provide both factual insight and visual inspiration!
