Map Description
Historical Map of Central Europe about 1648

Illustrating:
- Ecclesiastical States
- Imperial Cities
- Boundary of the Empire
- Sites of the most important battles and diplomatic negotiations
- Hapsburg Lands: Austrian and Spanish line
- Hohenzollern Lands: Brandenburg and Franconian line
- Wettin Lands: Albertine and Ernestine line
- Wittelsbach Lands: Bavarian and Palatinate line
- Oldenburg Lands: Denmark (royal portion) and Oldenburg; Holstein-Gottorp (ducal portion)

The chief territorial changes in the seventeenth century are indicated by narrow colored borders.
The color scheme, furthermore, shows how the Saxon portion of the County of Henneberg, held
in common by the Albertines and the Ernestines till 1660, was divided between them at that time;
also, how the County of Sponheim, held in common by Baden and the Palatinate, was divided between
them in 1707 and 1776. The areas in the Empire left uncolored were divided into petty states.

The states and cities to which the Edict of Restitution (1629) applied are underlined.
