Church Atlas | Cologne | Vintage Map

The map "Provincia Ecclesiastica di Colonia nella Prussia" / "Ecclesiastical Province of Cologne in Prussia" depicts the ecclesiastical province of Cologne within the context of the Prussian Rhine Province and Westphalia. The dioceses are delineated by color: Münster (orange, with the Vechta/Oldenburg exclave in the north), Paderborn (turquoise, extending far east into the Harz region), Cologne itself (pink, with the eponymous city in the center), and Trier (yellow, in the southwest with its seat in Trier). Surrounding territories such as Hanover, Holstein, Mecklenburg, the Duchy of Nassau, the Kingdom of Saxony, and the Duchies of Speyer and Saxony are uncolored but labeled by name, situating the ecclesiastical province within the North German context. Numerous cities such as Düsseldorf, Aachen, Koblenz, Essen, Dortmund, and Bielefeld are marked, as are rivers such as the Rhine and Moselle. The map illustrates the diocesan structure of the Rhineland and Westphalia within the Kingdom of Prussia with precise boundaries and dense labeling of locations.
