Leadership and new edition
Under the direction of Karl Peucker , map sheets were updated, with some sheets being revised as a whole, others only with selected additions. The map series was to be reissued under Peucker from 1914 as a new administrative map of Lower Austria on a scale of 1: 30,000 as a multi-colored map series, but this request was abandoned after the collapse of the monarchy. There is only one ready-made test sheet that depicts the area between Floridsdorf and Wolkersdorf .
