Germany, Poland, Pommern, Rügen, Szczecin.. N. Visscher, 1683, Pomeraniae Ducatus Tabulam

Large folio sized map of the northern part of the East of Germany, showing the area between the island of Rügen and the Western part of modern day Poland.

Notable cities like Słupsk, Szczecin, Piła, and Koszalin are depicted. Słupsk, an important center of trade in the 17th century, and Szczecin, a vital port city on the Oder River, are particularly striking.

In addition to the cities and natural landscapes, the map also reveals the political boundaries of the Duchy of Pomerania. The division of the region into smaller administrative units, each with its distinct coat of arms, is a compelling feature that underscores the political complexity of the era.
