OpenHistoricalMap/Projects/Lübeck

Introduction

This project aims to create a detailed historical map of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck. The map will focus on the city's development and evolution over time, drawing on as many CC0 credible sources as possible. The focus lies in providing a foundation for historical research and education. Although Lübeck is a German city, this project is maintained in English to facilitate cooperation. If you are interested in mapping small details, then this project is for you.

Project Goal

The goal of the Project is to map the following:

• Buildings of historical significance
• Evolution of street names and layouts over time
• Changes in administrative boundaries of the Free City of Lübeck
• Course of the rivers Trave and Wakenitz within city limits
• Historical railway networks in the city
• Expansion and removal of the cities fortifications
