Historical Maps – digitized

Heidelberg University Library holds historical maps in several map collections as well as individual maps. A particular focus is placed on maps relating to the Palatinate, the Electoral Palatinate, and Baden. The digitized collections include maps and atlases from different periods, offering insights into the historical development of territories, landscapes, and cities as well as into the history of cartography. Alongside regional maps, the collections also include works with a broader geographical scope, including important historical atlases.

The digitized holdings include, among others, the Heidelberg Maps, the Rothe Map Collection, and maps of the Palatinate.
