The research project systematically examines the development of the awareness of space in politics and administration in the early modern period and focuses the process of drawing borders on a cartographic basis in Northern Germany between 1570 and 1620. In this period of peace countless border disputes were settled in order to find clearly defined territories. In the 16th century the linear representation of borders proved to be the solution and gave consideration to both the already developed measuring technology as the princely administration. This transformation of the border - as the most important figure of space and fundamental in order to appreciate awareness of space - from borderland to a linear border was based on maps which helped to visualise the matter in dispute, to design clearly defined spaces and to constitute territories for the purpose of administration. Linking these maps to their corresponding files provides the basis for an analysis of this negotiation process on its way to a space based ruling. Therefore, maps should not be considered as a passive element of representation which just visualises space, but as an acting instrument which rather produces space. Based on a central principality in Northern Germany in its interaction with numerous neighbouring territories in a total of 23 border disputes, this research project should make its contribution to aspects as concept of ruling and exercise of power at the beginning of the early modern period.

该研究项目系统地研究了近代早期政治和行政空间的意识的发展，并在1570年至1620年之间在德国北部的制图基础上着重于制图的过程。为了找到明确定义的领土。在16世纪，边界的线性表示被证明是解决方案，并考虑了已经开发的测量技术作为王子行政管理。边界的这种转变 - 作为空间的最重要人物，是为了欣赏空间的意识 - 从边境边界到线性边框的意识是基于地图，这有助于使此事在争议中可视化，设计明确定义的空间并构成构成为了管理目的的领土。将这些地图链接到其相应的文件为分析此谈判过程的基础提供了基础，以实现基于空间的裁决。因此，地图不应被视为一种被视为可视化空间的代表性元素，而应被视为一种代表空间，而是一种代表空间的仪器。基于德国北部与众多邻近领土的互动，总共有23个边境纠纷，该研究项目应在现代初期开始时对方面做出贡献，作为统治和行使权力的概念。
