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.

GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.
Starting 2016, GI_Forum publishes two issues a Year.
