Description
A fine antique map with a view of Cochem and a bird's-eye plan of Münstermaifeld by Braun and Hogenberg, with key to locations. From the: Civitates Orbis Terrarum, ...the rare Part 5, Cologne 1596.
COCHEM. TRANSLATION OF CARTOUCHE TEXT: Panorama of the town of Cochem seen from the east. In the year 1576.
COMMENTARY BY BRAUN: "Cochem was originally a castle on a high mountain beside a deep valley, through which the Moselle flows along the left-hand side. This castle, which is very well protected by its natural location and by walls and ramparts, dates from the Roman Empire."
Cochem is presented from the east, from the right bank of the Moselle. With its 11th-century fortress high overhead, the town, which is first mentioned in records in AD 886, is considered one of the loveliest on the Moselle. The half timbered houses of the Old Town and the parish church of St Martin, originally founded by the Franks, are rendered in loving detail.
Here still visible on a hill on the far right is the Winneburg fortress from the second half of the 13th century, like Cochem castle, it was destroyed in the War of Palatine Succession, but in this case was not rebuilt. A number of the many city gates captioned in the engraving have survived right up to the present.
MÜNSTERMAIFELD. CARTOUCHE LEFT: Accurate illustration of the town of Münstermaifeld in Maifeld. COMMENTARY BY BRAUN: "A deed of donation by Pippin and Charlemagne mentions the church of St Martin in the village of Ambitio. There can be no doubt that it refers to this church, which was later invested with a very wealthy college and became known under the slightly different name of the Maifeld minster."
In contrast to Cochem, Münstermaifeld - granted the right to hold a market in AD 965 and a municipal charter in 1277 - is presented in a bird's-eye view from the northwest. Clearly recognisable is the former Gothic collegiate church of SS Martin and Severus with its well-fortified west end (G).
From 956 it housed the relics of St Severus, which made Münstermaifeld a pilgrimage centre. Many of the historical buildings survive in their original state even today, including the medieval town hall (O), vestiges of the city wall and the provostry (L), today the museum of local history and culture. Münstermaifeld is also known due to its proximity to Eltz castle, one of the loviest in Germany. (Taschen)
