Published in 1734 by the Homann Heirs, this highly detailed map and city plan of Strasbourg showcases the fortified city’s strategic military importance and urban layout in the early 18th century. The Homann Heirs were among the most renowned cartographers of their time, carrying on the legacy of Johann Baptist Homann, who had established one of the most prominent German mapmaking firms.

This engraved map meticulously illustrates the city of Strasbourg, located on the banks of the Rhine River, along with its surrounding fortifications, including the significant Fort Kehl. Strasbourg was a key border city between France and the Holy Roman Empire, making it a focal point for military conflicts, especially during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714) and later territorial disputes. The map provides a bird’s-eye view of the city's walls, bastions, gates, and defensive structures, emphasizing its strong military architecture influenced by the fortification designs of Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, the famed French military engineer.

In addition to its defensive structures, the map details the city’s streets, buildings, and important landmarks, including the Strasbourg Cathedral (Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg), which was one of the tallest buildings in Europe at the time. The Rhine River is prominently featured, showcasing its role as a major trade and transportation route, and the bridge leading to Fort Kehl highlights the strategic connection between France and the German territories.

This 1734 Homann Heirs map of Strasbourg serves as both a historical document and a work of art, offering valuable insight into 18th-century European military strategy, urban planning, and border conflicts between France and the Holy Roman Empire.
