Historický obraz Bratislavy a jej okolia na konci 18. storočia s dôrazom na využitie krajiny

Year, pages: 2016, 3 - 24

The aim of this paper is to document in detail the historical image of Bratislava of the late 18th century using the maps created by Johann Mathias Korabinsky – Grundrisz der königlichen freyen krönungs Stadt Preszburg nebst der umliegenden Gegend (Ground plan of the free royal coronation city of Bratislava with its surroundings). The map was made during the first military mapping of Austria-Hungary. Not only the urban and rural built-up landscape is relatively well captured on the map, but also the agricultural (especially vineyard) landscape including the rivers, roads, and forests. Natural landscape seems to be better shown compared to the built-up areas. Branches of the River Danube even forest paths as well as smaller meandering streams are precisely mapped. Agricultural land is divided into blocks of fields of various sizes. The urban landscape is represented as a whole (without individual buildings), where only streets and squares are distinguished. The built-up rural landscape lacks reality because although houses are precisely plotted, their number does not correspond to reality. Eight forms of land use (tree and shrub vegetation, permanent grassland, arable and permanent crops, water courses and bodies, exposed substrate and relief shapes, roads, built-up areas and isolated objects outside urban areas) are identifiable.
