Maps of Germany

Our long weekend in Munich was filled with culture, history and Bavarian charm, from wandering the English Garden with a stein and bratwurst in hand to climbing St Peter’s Tower for panoramic city views. We explored the lively Viktualienmarkt, the fascinating Deutsches Museum, and the moving Dachau Memorial. Back home, we uncovered vintage Munich maps from 1888 and 1725, incredible reminders of how much this city has changed and endured through time.

Our recent trip to Berlin was a true walk through history, from the grandeur of the Brandenburg Gate and the striking Holocaust Memorial to the remains of the Berlin Wall and the eerie WWII bunkers beneath the city. Between hearty German food, local beer, and miles of exploring with a map in hand, we uncovered stories both above and below ground. Back home, we discovered a 1905 vintage map of Berlin in our archive, a fascinating glimpse into a city that has transformed so much since it was first drawn.
