该项目将提供约翰·海因里希·格肯（Johan Heinrich Gerken）于1714-1717年创作的柏林城镇描述的第一版，两份手稿都保存在柏林州档案馆（F Rep. 237，No. 7 and 8）。他的大部分信息都是从尸检中获得的，它构成了最高等级的真实性和原创性的历史来源。它的质量和数量，分别为300和387页，证明它是柏林的第一本“贝德克尔”。世纪后期的城市描述使用了第一个文本地形描述。文本与住宅研究的更大背景相关，因为它独特地说明了法院和城市之间的边界，难以辨别，流动和半渗透。手稿第7号，完成于1716年，是该版本的基本文本，其中的差异手稿第8号，完成于1717年，将被添加。因此，描述的时间框架的差异变得明显。铜板将被复制;插图中指出，但从手稿失踪将被添加。一个全面的评论以及一个详细的，运行的评论将把工作的背景;索引的人，物体，地方使它访问。印刷版之后将有一个电子版，作为较大语料库的一部分。一个互联网网站将介绍该版本的内容以及其他插图空间分布在当代世纪早期的柏林计划。

The project will deliver a first edition of the town description of Berlin which Johan Heinrich Gerken created from 1714-1717, both manuscript of which are kept at the Landesarchiv Berlin (F Rep. 237, No. 7 and 8). Most of his information has been gained from autopsy, it constitutes an historical source of the highest grades of authenticity and originality. Its quality and quantity, 300 and 387 folio pages respectively, justify labelling it the first 'Baedeker' of Berlin. Later 18th century city descriptions made unattributed use of this first textual topographical description. The text is relevant to the larger context of research on residences as it uniquely illustrates the boundaries between court and city, hard to discern, fluid and semi-permeable as they were. Manuscript No. 7, finished in 1716, is the basic text for the edition, to which the differences of manuscript No. 8, finished in 1717, will be added. Thus the differences in the descriptions' timeframes become apparent. Copper plates will be reproduced; illustrations indicated in but missing from the manuscripts will be added. An overall commentary as well as a detailed, running commentary will place the work in context; indices of persons, objects, places make it accessible. An electronic edition will follow the print edition as part of larger corpora. An internet site will present the edition's content as well as other illustrations spatially distributed on a contemporary early 18th century plan of Berlin.
