Abstract

This paper presents work-in-progress, rooted in architectural art history and applied informatics, designed to draw new conclusions about the relationships of six medieval German Palatinate castles to the landscapes in which they were built. This is achieved through the integration of 32 geo-referenced historical maps (1540–1799 A.D.) of the German Palatinate and spatial analyses in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The composition of the spatial analyses is based on terrestrial-laserscan (TLS) models of each of the castles, and 25-metre resolution airborne-laserscanning (ALS) data. This report is a subproject of the ongoing CITADEL project, which includes Structure from Motion (SfM) models in addition to the TLS ones, as well as a textual component comprising historical charters from the period1174–1589 A.D. For the purposes of this paper, only the geo-referenced maps and GIS spatial analyses will be discussed at length.
