National map series
A national map series is the official map series that is spatially limited to a federal state, region or state.
The relevant states or federal authorities are responsible for issuing the national maps.
history
In the 16th century, European states began to depict the topography of their territories in maps: In 1563, Philipp Apian created the Large Map of Bavaria on a scale of 1: 45,000. It served as a template for the Bavarian country tables made of 24 sheets on a scale of approximately 1: 140,000. However, official maps were kept confidential for a long time; in Germany official maps have only been in public trade since 1813.
