Karl Baedeker was born in Essen, Germany on 11/3/1801. He began publishing his now world famous travel guides in Coblenz (Koblenz) in 1827. He died 10/4/1859. The business was continued through the generations by his family.

These Guides contained general maps of each country along with Town & City plans.

The business of publishing travel guides flourishes still.
