本文讨论了一种代表十八世纪分类精神特征的房屋识别技术：房屋编号。引入这项技术并不是为了方便城市居民的定位或为外国人提供帮助；而是为了帮助城市居民。它的起源可以追溯到现代早期警察、军事和税务管理的边境地区。它的目的是让国家能够获得每个家庭的财富和资源，并更容易控制、征税或招募其居民，或安置士兵。本文在概述了 18 世纪欧洲门牌编号的发展之后，讨论了不同的门牌编号系统（城市或地区内所有房屋的连续编号、街区编号、“顺时针方案”、偶/奇系统等），认为很难让人们接受地址和物理数据（房屋）之间的差异。
The article deals with a technology of house identification that was characteristic of the classifying spirit of the eighteenth century: house numbering. This techno-logy was not introduced to facilitate orientation for the cities’ inhabitants or to be helpful to foreigners; its origin can be located in the border areas of early modern police, military and tax administration. It aimed to give the state access to the riches and resources of every house, and to make it easier to control, tax or recruit their inhabitants, or to lodge soldiers. After an overview of the house numbering development in18th-century Europe, this article treats the different systems of house numbering (consecutive numbering of all the houses in the city or in a district, block numbering, the ‘clockwise schemes’, the even/odd system etc), arguing that it was difficult to make people accept the difference between the address and the physical data (the house).
