Abstract
The starting question is the relation between the old map or picture on one side and the past reality on the other. Can we realy expect an exact testimony about the appearance of the depicted area as a whole and of the details? Or does their documentary value lye in something else? A view of all types of “images of the cultural landscape” offers – fist of all – a testimony of the ideal, about how the (cultural) landscape should have looked or at least should have been depicted. For the eyes of contemporaries and future generations. The apparent loss of part of the documentary value of our sources is not actually so – on the contrary.
