Germany, Southern, Road and Physical Travel Reference Map.
Scale 1:415,000. Size 27"x39". International Travel Maps edition.
Although ITMB marketed a map for the southern portion of Germany for several years, it was licensed artwork from a firm that no longer publishes. We have now developed our own data base for Germany, of which this is our first title, so this is brand new artwork, not an update.
The area of coverage is from Cologne in the north to the Swiss and Austrian borders in the south and east, and from the Rhine River in the west to Passau in the east. There is very little space left over to show surrounding countries, but Aachen, Strasbourg, Basel, and Salzburg are noted on the map. This is the first of three detailed maps that will cover Germany in detail without concentrating on state-focused political divisions that mean little to non-Germans.
We have also simplified road classifications, using bluish violet for motorways as this colour stands out, green for major highways and white for connecting roads. Germany is Europes most densely populated country and is loaded with historic town centres (called Aldstadts), cathedrals, castles, walled towns, and medieval buildings.
For this edition, we have noted what seem to us to be the most noteworthy and look forward to adding other treasures as our travels take us further into this fascinating land. The next title in the series, East Germany and Berlin, is already at press, and the third, Northern Germany, is still a work in progress.
