Johann Carl Ludwig Sotzmann was a German cartographer and engraver known for his work in the late 18th century. In 1786, he created a famous map of Berlin, which is often referred to as the "Sotzmann Plan" or "Sotzmann Map of Berlin." This map is historically significant because it provides a detailed and accurate representation of the city of Berlin during that time period.

The Sotzmann Map of Berlin from 1786 is considered a valuable historical document as it reflects the layout and architecture of the city before significant urban development and expansion occurred in the 19th century. It shows the city's streets, buildings, gardens, and important landmarks as they existed in the late 18th century.

Sotzmann is most famous for his cartographic work, including the creation of detailed maps and atlases. One of his notable works is the "Neuer Länderatlas" (New Regional Atlas), published in 1796, which included maps of various regions in Europe.

Sotzmann lived and worked in Berlin for much of his life. He passed away in Berlin in 1830, leaving behind a legacy of cartographic excellence.

Johann Carl Ludwig Sotzmann's maps and atlases remain valuable resources for historians, geographers, and those interested in understanding the geographical and historical context of the late 18th and early 19th centuries in Europe, particularly in the region of Berlin and its surroundings.
