The Map of Bamberg from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable historical illustration of the city of Bamberg, Germany, created by Joris Hoefnagel (1542–1600), a Flemish artist known for his manuscript illumination, miniatures, and topographical depictions. This map is part of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," a collection of city maps and views considered the first atlas of the world's cities. Compiled by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, the "Civitates" was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617. Hoefnagel contributed to the latter volumes after Hogenberg's death, bringing his meticulous attention to detail and keen eye for the portrayal of urban landscapes.

The Map of Bamberg is significant for its artistic merit and historical value, offering a snapshot of the city's layout and architecture during the late 16th to early 17th century. Bamberg, renowned for its well-preserved medieval and baroque buildings, is depicted with a high degree of accuracy, showcasing its streets, buildings, and natural surroundings. The map serves as an important resource for understanding the urban development of Bamberg and provides insight into the methods of cartography and illustration of the period.

As part of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," the Map of Bamberg contributes to the broader understanding of urban representation in early modern Europe. The atlas itself was an ambitious project that aimed to provide comprehensive coverage of cities across the world, reflecting the growing interest in geography and urbanization during the Renaissance. The Map of Bamberg stands as a testament to the collaboration between cartographers, engravers, and artists like Hoefnagel, who together created a work of enduring historical and artistic significance.
