The Map of Regensburg from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable work by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist, engraver, and miniaturist of the 16th century. This map is part of the six-volume city atlas "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which was edited and published by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg. The atlas, often considered the first systematic city atlas, was published in Cologne between 1572 and 1617. It provides a valuable historical record of urban life in the 16th century and is an important work in the history of cartography and urban iconography.

Joris Hoefnagel, who contributed to the latter volumes of the atlas, was known for his detailed and decorative style. His work on the Map of Regensburg showcases the city during the late Renaissance period, offering insights into its architecture, layout, and the surrounding landscape. Regensburg, a city in Bavaria, Germany, was an important cultural and economic center at the time, and Hoefnagel's map captures its significance with intricate detail and artistic flair.

The map itself is not only a geographical representation but also a work of art, reflecting the merging of scientific mapping and aesthetic depiction during the period. It features the city's streets, buildings, and landmarks, as well as the River Danube, which plays a central role in the city's geography and trade. The inclusion of figures in period attire and various modes of transportation further brings the map to life, providing a snapshot of daily life in 16th-century Regensburg.

As part of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," the Map of Regensburg contributes to a larger endeavor to document and understand the urban centers of the world as they existed during a time of significant exploration, trade, and cultural exchange. The atlas as a whole, and Hoefnagel's contributions in particular, remain of great interest to historians, geographers, and art historians for their blend of accuracy and artistic beauty, offering a window into the past that is both informative and visually captivating.
