Homann Heirs was the successors of the prominent 18th-century German cartographer Johann Baptist Homann, who founded a renowned map publishing company in Nuremberg, Germany. The firm, known as Homann Erben or Homann's Heirs, continued to produce high-quality maps and atlases, maintaining the tradition of precision and attention to detail established by Johann Baptist Homann.

The map "Principatus Silesiae Wolani in suos Circulos, Wholav, Wintgzig, Herrn-Stadt, Rutzen, Seinav und Rauden divisi a I.W. Wieland" from 1736 depicts the Principality of Silesia, specifically highlighting its divisions into circles, including Wholav, Wintgzig, Herrn-Stadt, Rutzen, Seinav, and Rauden. This detailed cartographic representation of the region provides valuable insights into the political and geographical landscape of Silesia during the 18th century.

Homann Heirs, also known as Homann's Heirs or Homann Erben, was a prominent German map publishing company that succeeded the original business established by Johann Baptist Homann (1664-1724) in Nuremberg during the early 18th century. Johann Baptist Homann was one of the leading cartographers of his time, renowned for his accurate and detailed maps.

After his death in 1724, the company was continued by his heirs, who maintained the tradition of producing high-quality maps, atlases, and globes. Homann's Heirs were known for their geographical accuracy, decorative map designs, and the variety of cartographic products they offered. They played a significant role in the dissemination of geographical knowledge and the popularization of cartography in Europe during the 18th century.

Homann's maps covered a wide range of geographic areas, including Europe, the Americas, and other parts of the world, and were highly esteemed by scholars, governments, and the public. The Homann map publishing house was a major contributor to the development and dissemination of geographical information during the Age of Enlightenment.
