    Bagiman - 2024-11-11

    Hi, i'm a newbie in MOBAC, and i've experimented with WMS map sources from Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.

    Results are 2 xml-files for BaWue: Baden 1:10000 historic, and Wuerttemberg 1:2500 historic ,
    and 1 bsh-file for Bavaria: Bavarian Urblatt 1:25000, and detailed 1:2500

    Details:
    Baden 1:10000 historic: 1:10000, very nice 8-bit color, around 1850

    Wuerttemberg historic: 1:2500 cataster map; black&white - low quality. Shows Wuerttemberg and Hohenzollern. Around 1825-1850

    Bayern: 1:25000 (Urblatt) and 1:2500 (cataster map, as used for taxation). I've found these maps already 9 years ago, at that time under 'intergeo14' link. Unfortunately, these maps are no longer linked by Bavarian map institute https://geoservices.bayern.de .
    Attention: the coordinates in the Bayern maps don't match! Southern Bavaria is (from coordinates) somewhere in South Africa... Just enjoy the pics.

    I've got actual Topographic maps as well (TK50/ 25/ 10...), but only for uncomfortable xml cnnection. Will work on bsh files...

    hope hat is helpful, Chris

    additionally, some East German (DDR) maps 1:200k from the 1980's.
    Source: https://sgx.geodatenzentrum.de/wms_tk200_ddr

    These exist in 2 versions:
    - 'staat' (state) for officials - "Ausgabe Staat" - AS.
    - 'volk' (People) - for the public. - "Ausgabe für die Volkswirtschaft" - AV. These were limited to GDR state borders, and (reputedly) the Soviet army training areas were shown in somehow smaller size (didn't check that)

    To switch from 'staat to 'volk', change the respective line in the xms file:
    <layers>staat</layers> --> <layers>volk</layers>

    Enjoy, Chris
