Note:  A high resolution copy of the 1941 German Stadtplan von Czernowitz is in the Miscellaneous section. This is a large file (1.4 megabytes) in jpg format. Or, you can click right Here to see it.

The next five excellent German maps come courtesy of Ivor Lobel and were made in 1897 from an atlas held in the family. These jpgs were photographed rather than scanned because of the size of the atlas, and represent some very professional camera work on Ivor's part. Contact the webperson if you need higher resolution versions sent to you via email.

1.   Centred on  Czernowitz this map extends from Obertyn in the northwest to Dorhoiu in the southeast (164k).

2.   This map runs from Sokal in the northwest to Botosani in the southeast (344k).

3.   Containing all of Bukovina this map extends from west of Podhajce in the northwest to south of Petra (Moldava) in the southeast (358k).

4.   Centred on Podhajce, this map extends from Lemberg in the northwest to Okna in northern Bukovina in the southeast (366k).

5.  Here's a map of southeastern Europe from the same atlas: Lots of rich detail considering the vast expanse of territory. It covers from Czernowitz in the north northeast to Constantinople in the south east; and from Hungary in the northwest to the Adriatic in the southwest. It's quite large and was hard to reduce and still keep all the place names legible. A compromise on my part, not Ivor's (820k).

6.  An excellent 2006 pictorial streetmap of downtown Czernowitz with the Ukranian street names shown in Latin characters (English that is).  This is the map that used to be on the home page during the reunion.

7. This is the map enclosed with the "Illustrierter Führer durch die  Bukowina" from Hermann Mittelmann 1907/1908. Probably taken from the  reprint by Helmut Kusdat, 2002.  I'ts a large, easy to read, full colour 1907 street map of Czernowitz -- about  700k

8. Here's a map of historical interest: The orginal is a street map from 1787, but published in 1887. It was used for tax assesment purposes. It does locate the 'Old Synagogue' (28).  Peter Elbau translated the Gothic script which is overlayed on the map. Another large file -- about 800k. (from the Gruss aus Czernowitz Live Journal)

9. 1935 Cernauti city map showing bus and trolly lines withmajor places of interest clearly indicated.

10. An excellent 300 dpi Czernowitz street map from Austrian times (E.Hauster)

11. An excellent 300 dpi Czernowitz street map from Romanian times (E.Hauster)
