Historical overview map of the city of Zurich around 1859-1867 (old city cadastre)

Description

Real estate cadastral plans with insurance numbers from the years 1859-1867 of the former municipality of the city of Zurich. The 1:200 scale planwork consists of 246 sub-sheets. One sheet covers an area of 120 m x 90 m. It was drawn with ink and watercolors on cardboard. In addition to the building outline, many other structural elements of the city are shown (see below). The circumference of the buildings was recorded at ground floor level. Projections and rebounds on the facades are taken into account, but not windows and doors. On the other hand, the fire walls and the exact course of the house boundary in their area are shown. With a red line, residential buildings or fixed buildings (churches, monasteries, mills, factories and school and hospital buildings, etc.) are distinguished from auxiliary or commercial buildings (orange accompanying line). Also marked in red is the cut surface of vertical components such as walls, pillars, columns and support woods. In addition to the insurance numbers, the house names (if any) are used to identify the building. Street names complement the inscription. Individual elements are reproduced in the supervision in a naturalistic manner: low walls, stone slabs, stairs, fences, hedges, embankments, garden discounts, wooden walkways, streams, fountains, street lanterns, and more. Individual trees, on the other hand, are schematically but rightly recorded with trunk and indicated crown. Different colours (blue, light green, grey, brown, etc.) are used to identify the soil cover of large areas (water, meadows, paths, fortified places, etc.). Hidden structures (channels, underground spaces, bank trajectories under bridges, bridge pillars, etc.) are also shown (dashed lines). The boxes are dated and signed by the draftsman. **Purpose**: Historical data source for the built city with all the individual elements for the period around 1860. — Usable to determine the structural changes compared to today’s city. — Source of information in planning and carrying out archaeological investigations.
