Dr. Norbert Fischer (Hamburg): Historical Regional Map of the Elbe-Weser Triangle (North) – New Ways of Knowledge Transfer

The newly published book and map set (in a slipcase) showcases and explains the past and preserved remnants and sites that have significantly shaped the historical region between the Elbe and Weser rivers. It is an innovative, historically-geographically-culturally informed overview of the evolved structures of the Elbe-Weser Triangle, featuring symbolic entries on six accompanying maps. The accompanying booklet explains the entries in a cohesive text as well as in lists and provides in-depth information. The creation was interdisciplinary, involving numerous experts and institutions, including the Lower Saxony State Archive, the Stade Landscape Association, and various knowledgeable authors. Dr. Norbert Fischer is a social and cultural historian, honorary professor at the University of Hamburg, and a freelance publicist; his focus is on research projects and book publications, including those on the regional history of Northern Germany (e.g., North Sea coast, storm surges, dikes).
