Published in 1572 as part of the monumental Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World) by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg, Augusta iuxta figuram quam hisce temporibus habet delineata presents a richly detailed and visually engaging bird’s-eye view of the city of Augsburg, Germany. The Latin title translates to "Augsburg, depicted according to the appearance it has at this time," underscoring the work’s intent to capture the contemporary urban form of this important Renaissance city.

Augsburg, one of the oldest cities in Germany, was a major commercial, banking, and artistic hub of the Holy Roman Empire during the 16th century. The map depicts the city in an elevated, panoramic view, enclosed by fortified walls and punctuated by ornate gates and towers. Its gridded street layout, dense network of canals, and prominent landmarks—including the Augsburg Cathedral and Town Hall—are rendered with remarkable precision.

Braun and Hogenberg’s depiction is more than a geographic document; it is a cultural snapshot of a flourishing imperial free city. Figures in period dress are shown in the foreground, providing a human scale and emphasizing regional costume and class distinctions. Decorative cartouches, crests, and inscriptions add layers of artistic and symbolic meaning.

Part of a larger atlas project that included over 500 city views from around the world, this image of Augsburg reflects the Renaissance fascination with urban planning, identity, and the visualization of civic pride. The Civitates Orbis Terrarum aimed to educate and inspire, blending geography, politics, and aesthetics.
