Scope and content
Collected holdings, which mainly, alson its oldest parts, originate from submissions of the district governments of then Rhine Province. In addition, there are maps that were extracted in the archive from files of then authorities and courts of the older period; somen particularly valuable pieces of the old drawn maps come from then files of the Imperial Chamber Court. They also include maps fromn deliveries from other authorities in the Rhine Province as well as state andn municipal authorities in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The collection is being continued, but the holdings are currently only growing slightly, mostly through the acquisition of individual items of different types and origins. Map deliveries from the state authorities and non-state institutions are generally organised into provenance holdings, which are based on the example of the map holdings of Departments 2 (cadastre, agricultural planning, hydraulic engineering and shipping authorities, etc.) and 4.a.) and 4n (Geological State Office, State Surveying Office, etc.) are not incorporated into then collective holdings of maps, especially ifn they grow. The majority of the drawn and engraved maps in then collection date from the 18th and early 19th century. Then oldest map is a view of the city of Sittard from 1538. A depiction of the Vichttal valley near Stolberg with the brass-producing Dollartshammer from 1548, the map of the Bergisches Amt Windeck by Arnold Mercator from 1575, the Rhine map by Johann Bucker from 1713, the topography of the Duchy of Berg and some of the Jülich offices by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715 and the map of the Duchy of Berg by Wiebeking from 1790-1792 have received more attention to date; the klevischenn cadastral maps from the 1730s are now assigned to the localn kleve-mark holdings. The archive unit (map number)n is not defined; it designates the individual map as well as the map composed ofn several sheets, the map series and then atlas.
