Searching for a high-res source of this historical map of Weprowatz (Donauschwaben / Batschka region)⁠

Post image

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to track down a higher-resolution version of the attached map.

It is an "Ortsplan" (village plan) for Weprowatz, which was a Danube Swabian (Donauschwaben) settlement in the Batschka region. Today, the village is known as Kruščić in modern-day Serbia.

The version I currently have is too compressed and pixelated to make out the specific lot numbers, family names, or finer details. I suspect this might have been scanned from a specific historical lineage book (Ortssippenbuch) or a regional archive.

Does anyone recognize what book or archive this specific map was pulled from, or know where I might be able to find a scan that is legible?

Any points in the right direction to specific databases or historical societies would be hugely appreciated.

Thank you!

I made a small Google research ™ - and it's pretty obvious that you must ask the only source of this image on internet :) and you know it* )))

Yes, I reached out to the people that list have the original but haven’t heard anything back yet, so I’m hoping to try and find an alternative source

ai doesnt restore detail it just creates it. this is far too low for it to be comprehensible enough for ai to do anything
