– Background –

Daniel Friedrich Sotzmann (1754-1840) was a German geodesist and cartographer who is considered the main initiator of commercial cartography in Berlin. Sotzmann received his first instruction in engineering from Ing.-Hauptmann Materne while Materne was imprisoned in Spandau Citadel, where Sotzmann grew up. He worked as a cartographic draftsman under the direction of Carl Ludwig Oesfeld, and between 1786 and 1807, he created numerous maps and atlases as the Geographer of the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences. He is particularly well known for his map of Prussia from 1789, which is one of the earliest works that divide Prussia into West and East Prussia. Sotzmann also designed his first terrestrial globe in 1791.
