Drawn by Leopold Kraatz, it records the rapidly expanding city with remarkable clarity, showing its streets, public buildings, railways, waterways, squares and suburbs in a crisp, elegant style closely resembling the celebrated Baedeker city plans. Although not produced for Baedeker, it belongs to the same German tradition of clear, functional urban cartography that flourished from the 1850s onwards, combining restrained colour washes, precise lettering and exceptional readability. Published while Berlin's great programme of expansion was still in its infancy, the map captures the city at the threshold of its emergence as one of Europe's foremost industrial and political capitals, making it both an attractive display piece and an important document of nineteenth-century urban development.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53689695502683,"sku":"P-6-112064","price":250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112064a.jpg?v=1785426788"},{"product_id":"berlin-nach-seinem-im-jahre-1861-erweiterten-umfange-kaatz-1864-old-map-p-6-112065","title":"Berlin nach seinem im Jahre 1861 erweiterten Umfange—Kaatz 1864 old map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eBerlin nach seinem im Jahre 1861 erweiterten Umfange [Berlin as Enlarged by the Municipal Extension of 1861]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn uncommon plan illustrating Berlin immediately after the landmark municipal enlargement of 1861, the reform that laid the foundations for the modern capital. Six newly incorporated territories—including parts of Tempelhof, Schöneberg, Moabit, Wedding and the Charlottenburg districts—are distinguished in colour, recording the precise areas transferred to Berlin under the expansion legislation, while the blue line marks the historic Weichbild, or civic district, within which these changes took place. Published on the eve of James Hobrecht's celebrated development plan of 1862, the map captures the city at the pivotal moment when medieval Berlin began its transformation into one of Europe's great industrial metropolises. Small in format but historically significant, it documents the administrative reorganisation that preceded Berlin's explosive nineteenth-century growth and remains an evocative record of one of the defining episodes in the city's urban development.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53689696092507,"sku":"P-6-112065","price":130.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112065a.jpg?v=1785426789"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/collections\/kraatz-leopold.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
