18th International Atlas Days. Enlightenment and the mapping of knowledge: map and atlas production in Weimar and Thuringia


Weimar, Germany
Weimar, a beacon of German classicism and an intellectual centre in the days of Goethe and Schiller, was an important location for map and atlas production for many years. Numerous cartographic and geographical institutions flourished from the middle of the 18th century to the last third of the 19th century, associated with names such as Friedrich Justin Bertuch, Johann Christian Mämpel, Carl Ferdinand Weiland and Heinrich Kiepert.
