This antique map, titled ‘Monasteriensis Episcopatus’ and created in 1665, depicts a region of Germany known as Monasteriensis Episcopatus, which translates to the Bishopric of Münster. During the early 17th century, Germany was a patchwork of small states and principalities, with the Holy Roman Empire serving as a loose governing structure. The region depicted on this map was located in the western part of Germany, bordering the Netherlands. It was a predominantly Catholic region, ruled by the Bishop of Münster. The map shows the central locations of Rheine, Ibbenbüren, and Lingen (Ems), but does not provide specific details about what can be seen in those areas.
