Prussia/Saxon Maps?

The mapire.eu site is a wonderful gateway to 18th and 19th century maps of the Habsburg Empire and southern Germany: https://mapire.eu/en/map/europe-18century-firstsurvey/?layers=osm%2C163%2C165&bbox=367198.7065677182%2C6106048.39945092%2C2560024.1740128547%2C7084442.361501175

Does anyone know if there is something similar for Prussia/Saxony/central Germany?

Thanks!

Concerning german maps of 1770-1815, you have to check for Landesaufnahmen / Generalkarten / topograpische Karten / Kriegskarten, most prominently in the scale of 1:86.400 like the famous cassini maps, often arranged according to the presumed theatre of war.


Schleswig: Du Plat'sche Karte

Holstein: Vahrendorfsche Karte

Mecklenburg, Brandenburg: schmettausche Karte

Ostpreußen: Schröttersche Karte

Sayony: Meilenkarte, Petri-Karte

Hessen-Darmstadt: Haassche Karte

Bayern, Baden, Würtemberg, Hessen: Karte von Südwestdeutschland

Hanover: Kurhannoversche Landesaufnahme

Bayern: Carte de Bavière, topographischer Atlas, Uraufnahme

Nordwestdeutschland: Lecocqsche Karte

württemberg: Bohnenberger

Linkes Rheinland (4 neuen Departements): Tranchot-karte, Müffling-Karte

Rheinland, Belgien: Carte chorographique de Ferraris
