Abstract

Abstract This paper deals with the unwritten story of one of the largest collections of early-modern military maps in pre-war Germany, its later dispersion to different institutions, as well as the attempts to reconstruct this cimelia or treasured library of the former Bavarian Army, founded at the beginning of the nineteenth century. During World War II most of the maps of the Wehrkreisbücherei VII were stored in several locations outside of Munich, and survived destruction. After 76 years we can reconstruct the unwritten odyssey of this important map collection. One part was integrated into the Bavarian State Library, where some valuable manuscript maps were recently cataloged. The largest section was taken by American soldiers to the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., where it was stored for more than a decade. This cache was restored to Germany in 1962, when a political dispute arose between the German State and the Free State of Bavaria that was not settled until 1968. This collection became part of the Wehrbereichsbibliothek VI, located since 1978 at Munich’s Bundeswehr University. Unfortunately, due to political decisions in 1984, this section was relocated to a provincial museum.
地图宝藏被“火与剑”摧毁?巴伐利亚陆军图书馆地图收藏的不成文的故事
本文讨论了战前德国最大的早期现代军事地图收藏之一的不书面故事,它后来分散到不同的机构,以及重建这个建于19世纪初的前巴伐利亚军队珍贵图书馆的尝试。第二次世界大战期间,德国国防军第七世的大部分地图都存放在慕尼黑以外的几个地方,并在破坏中幸存下来。76年后,我们可以重建这幅重要地图收藏中未被书写的奥德赛。其中一部分被纳入巴伐利亚州立图书馆,一些珍贵的地图手稿最近被编目。最大的部分被美国士兵带到华盛顿特区的国会图书馆,在那里保存了十多年。1962年,德国和巴伐利亚自由邦之间发生了政治纠纷,直到1968年才得到解决。自1978年以来,这些藏品成为了德国国防军第六图书馆的一部分,该图书馆位于慕尼黑联邦国防军大学。不幸的是,由于1984年的政治决定,这部分被转移到省级博物馆。
