Friedrich Leopold Von SCHRÖTTER (1743-1815) & Friedrich Bernhard ENGELHARDT (1768-1754)
KARTE VON OST-PREUSSEN NEBST PREUSSISCH LITTHAUEN UND WEST-PREUSSEN NEBST DEM NETZDISTRICT. Author: Friedrich Leopold von SCHRÖTTER (1743-1815) & Friedrich Bernhard ENGELHARDT (1768-1754). Place and Year: Berlin: Schropp & Co., 1802-1810. Technique: Copper engraving with original outline colour, in 25 separate sections mounted on original linen, together forming a map of irregular shape, 200 x 310 cm, housed in original card box. This gargantuan and extraordinary map is one of the most important and impressive monuments in the cartographic history of Germany, Poland and Lithuania. Known as the ‘Die Schroettersche Landesaufnahme’ (Schrötter’s Topographic Surveys), the map represents one of the greatest technical achievements of empirical surveying of the Enlightenment Era conducted anywhere in Europe. It is also a highly sophisticated economic map, as well as an important work of military cartography from the era of the Napoleonic Wars. The map also had important symbolic significance with respect to the Prussian annexation of the territory concerned, as well as having great utility for civil administrative purposes. The map embraces a sizeable area that includes most of today’s Northern Poland, all of the Russian enclave of the Kaliningrad Oblast, as well as the maritime region of Lithuania. The map was commissioned in 1795 in order to depict the Polish territories newly-acquired by the Kingdom of Prussia, namely West Prussia and New East Prussia, as well as to show the traditional Prussian region of East Prussia and parts of Pomerania. There areas shown feature, amongst others, the cities of Danzig (Gdańsk, Poland), Königsberg (Kaliningrad, Russia), Memel (Klaipeda, Lithuania), Marienburg (Malbork, Poland) and Kulm (Chełmno, Poland) and Elbing (Elbląg, Poland). -

This is a phenomenon that was particularly evident in the German-speaking countries of central Europe, where the figure of Arminius from Tacitus' Annals was represented in many different artistic media, from painting to monumental sculpture. In the German states themselves depictions often followed a similar prescription, which took their inspiration from the plays of Freidrich Gottlieb Klopstock and Heinrich von Kleist, which dramatised the victory of Arminius (or 'Hermann') over Quinctilius Varus and his Roman army. -
The Indaganda Survey of the Prussian Frontier: the Built World, Logistical
Olesko, Kathryn M. “The Indaganda Survey of the Prussian Frontier: The Built World, Logistical Power, and Bureaucratic Knowledge in the Polish Partitions, 1772–1806.” Journal for the History of Knowledge 1, no. 1 (2020): 16, pp. 1–17. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/jhk.12 SPECIAL ISSUE The Indaganda Survey of the Prussian Frontier: The Built World, Logistical Power, and Bureaucratic Knowledge in the Polish Partitions, 1772–1806 Kathryn M. Olesko Georgetown University, US [email protected] The Indaganda is an obscure but widely used survey designed by Prussian administrators to gather territorial information, especially about provinces acquired in the Polish Partitions (1772–1795). This essay uses the Indaganda of South Prussia—a highly urbanized province annexed in the Second Partition—as a nodal point in Prussia’s efforts to manage and control territory by using material means to transform the natural and built worlds. Prussian patterns of eighteenth-century infrastructure development were filtered through this survey, eliciting information that formed a knowledge base for bureaucratic administration, infrastructure development, and cartographic visualizations. The Indaganda and its implications for the built world were expressions of the state’s exercise of logistical power: the use of material means to insert its presence into daily life, to assert its prerogative to control things and people, and to express its right to govern both. Finally, this essay argues that the bureaucratic curation of technical knowledge, which operationalized logistics, facilitated the integration of technical experts into the Prussian state bureaucracy. This article is part of a special issue entitled “Histories of Bureaucratic Knowledge,” edited by Sebastian Felten and Christine von Oertzen. -
