The purpose of this map was mainly to have the new Romanian names together
with the old German ones for orientation in the town. Some standards had to
be sacrificed to achieve the possibility to write both names. The most
obvious is that the width of the streets was much increased and the space
between them (houses and plots) were drawn as much smaller. The map has
therefore no exact internal to the quadrants scale.
As to the N/W part of the cemetery, it might very well have been added in
proximity of 1920, or may be it was not yet fenced in.
For all of us who lived in the lower (northern) part of the town the
orientation of the north uphill was quite natural. I remember when I had to
copy the plan of Cz. in grade 2 at the geography lesson, it did not make
sense to me that the Prut was in the north - it went against all instincts
- north on a map should be up and not down when you take the tram!
Mimi of course did not have this problem, the girl from Schmiedgasse was
already uphill at home and looked at the Volksgarten if not down at least
at the same level.
If you look intensely and concentrated at one streetname for several days
the letters might turn around (at least something like that we learned in
school might happen). Still I prefer to have the map inversed, not the text
- but no problem anyone can do that at home at his free will. Just edit in
Picassa or other.
