Stab-Werner projection

Werner projection of the earth

Werner projection of the earth from 1536

The Stab-Werner projection (also known as Stab-Werner or Werner projection ) is a true-to-area fake cone image of the earth. Like some other projections, it is classified as heart-shaped (cord -shaped ) . The name Stab-Werner refers to Johannes Stabius from Vienna , who developed this projection around 1500, and Johannes Werner (1468–1522), a parish priest from Nuremberg , who refined and advanced it.

The projection is a borderline case of the Bonnean projection . The standard parallel is at one of the poles (90 ° N / S). The distances along each parallel and along the central meridian are, like all distances from the North Pole, true to length.
