German Fotothek
This is a source of German digital images including maps and photos.
The map entry point is here http://www.deutschefotothek.de/cms/kartenforum.xml
There is also a Beta service that allows you to locate on a modern map and see what they have for the location.
http://kartenforum.slub-dresden.de/
and the top of the archive is http://www.deutschefotothek.de/cms/home.xml
Some of the photos are bridges and architectural buildings of interest.

Re: German Fotothek
Lots of good stuff here, and have bookmarked this site.
I'm particularly interested in the Vauban-type fortress plans.
Thanks for posting.

1:8000 maps of Lutzen
I have been trying out the beta map overlays and have found an incomplete set of maps of the Lutzen battlefield of 1813 in 1:8000 scale and printed in 1828. These look similar in style to other KS maps so I am wondering if these were printed (in Berlin) by the 1828 committee.
It gets better. After a bit more research you get the whole of the Lutzen 1813 battlefield plus Leipzig

Re: German Fotothek
That could well be, Tim.
Here is another possibility. The preamble to the 1824 rules mentions a recent series of maps of Saxony as being available for staging Kriegsspiels. So these may be part of that series.

Re: German Fotothek
Martin, these were printed in Berlin in 1828 and according to the notes :- "Edited by V. Felden, Major in the King's. Prussian General Staff" so I am fairly certain that this was created for KS. Or maybe reprinted for KS use
Having searched the site I have not found anything else in 1:8000 scale so that is it for now but there are 80 maps in the series.

Re: German Fotothek
That seems conclusive. Well-sleuthed!
They differ from the standard k/s maps we normally use by lacking contours. But that's to be expected of an 1828 date, and our usual maps (Meckel, Koeniggratz, Metz) are all a lot later. And actually they are none the worse for that IMHO. I've always felt the hatching scheme was superior to contours from a purely military point of view. At least for horse & musket games.
When printing k/s maps in b&w I sometimes colour the hilltops in a very pale yellow, which really brings them out, and avoids confusion with low ground.
80 new maps gives us a lot to play with! Presumably it's possible to print these out in a reduced scale. If so, perhaps we could even try one of these for one of our spring army-level games. Will discuss with Steve.
