The "Map of Stade" is a notable work from the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," an extensive collection of city maps and views that stands as one of the most significant achievements in urban cartography during the 16th century. Created by Joris Hoefnagel (1542–1601), a Flemish artist known for his detailed illustrations and contributions to the fields of topography and botanical illustration, this map exemplifies the intricate artistry and geographical precision of the period. The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," primarily the brainchild of Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617. It provided a comprehensive visual record of urban life across the world, with the "Map of Stade" representing the German city of Stade in remarkable detail.

Joris Hoefnagel's contribution to the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" was significant, bringing a level of artistic finesse that helped elevate the work beyond mere cartographic interest to a valuable resource for understanding the cultural and social nuances of the cities it depicted. His "Map of Stade" is particularly noted for its accuracy in layout and attention to the architectural details of the city, offering insights into the urban design and structure of Stade during the late 16th century. This map, like others in the collection, serves not only as a historical document but also as a testament to the merging of scientific inquiry and artistic endeavor during the Renaissance.

The "Map of Stade" and the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" as a whole are of great interest to historians, geographers, and art historians, providing a unique window into the urban landscapes of the past. The meticulous work of Joris Hoefnagel and his contemporaries has ensured that these maps remain invaluable resources for contemporary studies in a variety of fields, reflecting the enduring legacy of Renaissance cartography and its impact on our understanding of historical urban environments.
