The "Map of Central Europe" is particularly noteworthy for its detailed representation of the region during the Renaissance period. It reflects the state of geographical knowledge and cartographic design of the era, showcasing the territories, political boundaries, and major cities of Central Europe. Münster's work was instrumental in disseminating the most advanced geographic knowledge of his time, and his maps were widely copied and distributed.

Münster's mapmaking was characterized by his reliance on a wide network of correspondents and scholars from across Europe, which allowed him to incorporate the most current information available into his maps. His "Map of Central Europe" is not only a valuable historical document but also an example of the art of Renaissance cartography. It embodies the transition from medieval mappaemundi to a more modern and empirical approach to mapping the world.

The "Map of Central Europe from Cosmographia Universalis" is an important artifact for historians, geographers, and art historians alike, as it provides insight into the knowledge and worldview of the 16th century.
