Titled “Siegeszeichen der Verbündeten aus den Hauptschlachten”, the map was designed, drawn, and engraved by Carl Ausfeld in Meiningen in 1814, immediately following the collapse of Napoleonic control in German territories. As a contemporary production rather than a later retrospective, it offers a direct visual record of coalition warfare at the decisive moment of European history. The map focuses on large parts of Prussia, Saxony, Brandenburg, and neighboring regions, clearly identifying key cities such as Berlin, Magdeburg, Leipzig, Dresden, and Frankfurt an der Oder. Rivers, regional boundaries, and an extensive network of roads are carefully engraved, while dense annotations describe troop movements, lines of advance, and strategic concentrations of Allied forces.
