Abstract
Backlund transformations for harmonic maps are described as the action of the structure group on harmonic one-forms or as gauge transformations of the soliton connection constructed via embedding the configuration manifold into a flat space. As an illustration, Backlund transformations for maps fromM 2 to the Poincare upper half-plane and for maps determining stationary vacuum gravitational fields with axial symmetry are obtained.
