Description
A vector remake of an old map I published once. The map shows only the medieval situation around 1400!
After the Germanic tribes left the east, they slowly turned into the Germans and moved back into the very
sparsely populated east, often called by the local rulers to turn forests and swamps into farmland.
There were very few settlements in the east, which had Germanic rests (for example near the mountains in Silesia)
who joined the incoming German settlers.
For more info read the Wikipedia article:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostsiedl…
If you see any mistakes or have a question let me know in the comments.
In the info box you can read from top to bottom:
Old German area around 700 BC
Begin of the German peasant colonisation 8th to 11th century
Begin of the German peasant colonisation 12th century
Begin of the German peasant colonisation 13th century
Begin of the German peasant colonisation 14th century
Green: Around 1400 areas with no significant population (swamps, mountains, forests)
The little icons show cities, monasteries etc.
Blue city dots: Cities with German law (Lübeck)
Red city dots: Cities with German law (Magdeburg)
Green city dots: Cities with German law (South German)
Black city dots: Cities with German law (Other)
Yellow city dots: German settlements without German law in Scandinavia
At the bottom you see different mining icons and the political borders of 1400.
