This antique map, created in 1665, is titled ‘Marchionatus Brandenburgici Partes Duae, Nova Marchia et Uckerana’. Translated from Latin, the title means ‘Two parts of the Margraviate of Brandenburg, New March and Uckermark’.
Poland in the early 17th Century was a vast and diverse country, stretching from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Carpathian Mountains in the south. It was bordered by Germany to the west, Russia to the east, and Sweden to the north. At this time, Poland was a powerful and influential country, with a rich cultural heritage and a strong economy. Its capital, Warsaw, was a hub of trade and commerce, and the country was home to a vibrant and diverse population. The map may show Gryfino, Szczecin, Gartz (Oder) located centrally, with Germany bordering the west.
