German Contribution to the 19th Century Cartography of European Turkey With Special Regard on the Map of Heinrich Kiepert

The paper analyzes the German maps of European Turkey of the first half of the 19th century, putting them in context of the geopolitical changes that came about as a result of the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire and the settlement of the Eastern Question. The focus of the analysis is on Heinrich Kiepert's 1853 map as an example of the best scientific synthesis of German cartography of the 19th century. Special attention has been paid to the problem of language editing of the maps with reference to transliteration and transcription of place names from maps of different linguistic provenance
