Friedrich Wilhelm Putzger


Friedrich Wilhelm Putzger was a German teacher and cartographer.
He updated the Physikalisch-statistischer Atlas des deutschen Reiches and in 1877 in Leipzig first published the F. W. Putzgers Historischer Schul-Atlas intended for use in schools.
Due to its low price, it was a success. It is still commonly used in schools. The current edition is Putzger - Atlas und Chronik zur Weltgeschichte. Cornelsen, Berlin 2002,
