Carte géologique internationale de l'Europe Echelle 1 à 1500000 - CGIE1500 (View Service)

Following an proposal of the Austrian geologists Franz Ritter von Hauer (1822-1899) and Eduard von Mojsisovics (1839-1907) the International Geological Congress at its meeting in Bologna 1882 decided to publish a general geological map of Europe at a scale of 1:1,500,000 in 49 sheets. Heinrich Ernst Beyrich (1815 - 1896) and Wilhelm Hauchecorne (1828 - 1900) were entrusted with the execution of this map series. Franz Heinrich August Beyschlag (1856-1935) was involved from 1893 onwards. The first complete edition of the International Geological Map of Europe was available in September 1913, 32 years after the resolution was passed. The historically significant and unique map series was scanned and georeferenced at GeoSphere Austria and is now available as a public map service.
