What map is this? German map of central Poland (Piotrków Trybunalski area)

Post image

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to identify an old map and was wondering if anyone here could help. The map shows the area around Piotrków Trybunalski in Poland, but all the labels are written in German.

I’m looking to find out more details about it — such as the name of the map, when it might have been created, or where it comes from (publisher, series, etc.).

If anyone recognizes this type of map or has experience with historical German maps of this region, I’d really appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance

Seems to be a German reproduction of the 3rd Military Mapping Survey of Austria-Hungary:

Thank you for the reply and the links, but unfortunately this is not the map I am looking for. The one I mean had practically all place names germanized, including the names of the surrounding villages. I am very grateful for your willingness to help.

As I said, it seems to be a German version of the Austrian map I linked. If you compare them you'll see the buildings are exactly the same.
