The Lublin 1912 Map

This map of Lublin was reprinted in 1991 and is still available at the Tourist Office in the old town, the castle museum and other places here in Lublin. Remember that this map cannot be used for any kind of financial gain, it is here for research purposes only.

The original map has both Polish and Russian keys, the Russian being the primary one as at the time Lublin was part of the Russian Empire. This site only indexes the Polish key as support on browsers for non-English languages is poor outside the regions the language is used in. Eventually a version of the Russian key will be available through the use of scanned in images. The indexes are located further down the page, and include: Streets, Districts, Buildings & a guide to Polish words used on the map. Remember that since 1912 many of the streets will have changed their names more than once. Similarly while many institutions are still in their original locations, some have since moved. There are even a few road names that are now used to designate different roads than they did originally. Polish characters are not used, except on the map itself, since many people have browsers which do not display all of them correctly.

It is also worth noting that some roads that are marked on this map do not exist today as they were primarily Jewish districts up to about 1942, and were the subject of wholesale destruction after the population had been transferred to camps etc. This primarily concerns the area between the old town and the castle, and Wieniawa.

Unless you are looking for something specific it is worth saving this page and printing it out so that you can easily refer to it as you find your way around the map. It is not possible to print the map out in any appreciable size. The first map to load will be the old town and part of Krakowskie Przedmiescie, which is almost the centre of the map below.
