2 December 2013 - Mapster update
Posted by marekz on 12/03/2013 20:31
We have added approx. 110
sheets from the German editions of 1:500,000 maps across the whole of
Europe, courtesy of L'Université
Paris 8, France.
We have also received some town plans
from Pomorze (Ger. Pommern), e.g. Świnoujście (Swinemünde),
Kołobrzeg (Kolberg) and Słupsk (Stolp), as well as a few small plans
from a rather peculiar publication - a (tourist) guidebook to the
German-occupied Poland ( (Baedekers Generalgouvernement, published
1943): Warszawa,
Kraków, Radom and Lwów. The guidebook will be made available in a week
or so.
A
few new sheets of the Grossblatt / Einheitsblatt series: No 3
(Danish-German border), No 4 (Labiau, Ostpreussen, currently
Kaliningrad Oblast of the Russian Federation), and No 363a - Kołki nad
Stwigą. Where is, or rather was the village of Kołki? Well, you can
find some hints in interesting canoeing trip reports (here
and here)
from a few years ago. While they are in Polish, you might try Google
translate on them, you never know what you might get!
