Maps of Saxony and the whole world

You are sure to find what you are looking for at the SLUB: We offer you access to an extensive collection of maps and views from all over the world. A large part of them is available to you in high-resolution digitalised form in the Map Forum. In the Virtual Map Forum you also have access to several thousand georeferenced maps. The focus of the collection is on our region: You will find all geographical material that has been published in Saxony since the beginning of printing or that concerns Saxony.
