Gdansk (dantzigt), Kolonia 1575 is a significant cartographic work created by the renowned cartographer and publisher Georg Braun. This map is part of the monumental city atlas "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which translates to "Cities of the World." Published in the late 16th century, this atlas is one of the most important and comprehensive collections of city maps and views from that era. Georg Braun, in collaboration with engraver Franz Hogenberg, compiled this extensive work, which aimed to provide detailed and accurate representations of the world's major cities.

The map of Gdansk, known historically as Danzig, is a detailed and artistic depiction of the city as it appeared in 1575. Gdansk, a prominent port city on the Baltic Sea, was a significant center of trade and commerce during the Renaissance period. The map showcases the city's intricate layout, including its fortifications, streets, and notable buildings. It provides a valuable historical record of Gdansk's urban structure and architectural heritage during a time of economic prosperity and cultural development.

Braun's work is not merely a geographical representation but also an artistic endeavor. The map is adorned with elaborate illustrations, including ships in the harbor, figures in contemporary attire, and decorative cartouches. These elements not only enhance the visual appeal of the map but also offer insights into the cultural and social aspects of the period.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" was published in several volumes between 1572 and 1617, and it remains a crucial resource for historians, geographers, and art historians. The map of Gdansk, along with others in the atlas, reflects the meticulous craftsmanship and scholarly dedication of Georg Braun and his collaborators. It stands as a testament to the rich cartographic heritage of the Renaissance and continues to be a valuable reference for understanding the historical geography of European cities.
