(Not the Answer):

"I am sure that no town index to the Karte des Deutschen Reiches exists.
It is not mentioned in:
Das Reichsamt für Landesaufnahme und seine Kartenwerke. - Berlin : Verl.
des Reichsamts für Landesaufnahme, 1931. - 318, 43 S. : Ill., zahlr. Kt.
+ 3 Kt.-Beil. This work delivers a detailed description of the
publications of the General Staff. Moreover I could not find any
gazetteer to the Karte des Deutschen Reiches in any library.

Best regards

Bayerische Staatsbibliothek"

This was the response of yesterday (Monday) elicited from my enquiry -
on behalf of 'MAPS-L' - to a colleague (whom I know better, but is on
vacation) of Margit Heumueller.

Naturally, I had previously also checked the British War Office's GSGS
gazetteer to the WW2 re-drawn 1:100K mapping of Germany; but these (map
+ gazetteer), perhaps inevitably, introduce a quite different grid
system. So, as regards the German KDR 1:100K series - there's apparently
a compilation job awaiting some lucky students or institution with time
and good will . . .

Question: I am working with a number of "Grossblatt" [1:100,000]
maps from the classic series:
_*/Karte des Deutschen Reiches/*_
- started ca  1880's and continued into the 1940's.

Do you know of a town index to this great series ?
