By pure coincidence I happened across these planning maps of Berlin attributed to Albert Speer just this morning.  Three are quite large manuscript maps (too large to be scanned) but your patron may find the citations useful….

Subject: Building-detail maps of Berlin in the 1930s?



A scholar is looking for detailed maps of Berlin from the 1930s with building-level information.  The usual methods haven’t turned anything up, the largest scale I have seen so far was around 1:25,000.  The general rule is to find exceptionally detailed information near the locality being studied.  I’m not familiar with the mapping projects and resources of that place and time.  Any ideas?



Thank you,
