Publication History and Census
This map was created by Freytag and Berndt and published by Hartleben Publishing c. 1900. We know of at least one other edition, published c. 1907 also by Hartleben with the only noticeable difference being the extension of the tram line to the Städt Gaswerke (No. 82 on this map) on the later edition. We note a single cataloged example in OCLC (an example of the later c. 1907 edition) which is part of the collection at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin. It is rare on the private market.Cartographer
Freytag and Berndt (1770 - Present) is a map, atlas, guidebook, and travel literature publisher. Its roots reach back to when Francesco Artaria founded a lithographic works in Vienna in 1770. In February 1879, Gustav Freytag founded a cartographic publishing house. Freytag and Berndt merged with the cartographic division of Artaria in 1920. After World War II, Freytag-Berndt und Artaria experienced expanded publication to become one of the most important cartographic publishers in Central Europe. Today, Freytag and Berndt publishes street maps, city map, hiking maps, and cycling maps and employs fifty cartographers and editors at their headquarters in Vienna. More by this mapmaker...
