This book is written in German! This book looks closely on the history and distribution of papermodels. For about 150 years - exactly since 1858 papermodels are produced in great numbers. If you add the progenitors that turned up by chance like for example the sun dial crucifix from 1529 the history of this paper product spans about 500 years. And it still continues.

Papermodel topics were and are manifold. And they changed again and again in relation to circumstances at the time. Actually they reflect them surprisingly well. That‘s why papermodels are also valued research material for cultural, economic, and social history.

A lot of historical but also modern papermodels are about architecture. The models are more or less scale models and the and some times have imaginary prototypes but show mostly actually built or at least planned buildings. Over the last decades the focus of modelers went more to technical models like ships, airplanes, and vehicles. Due to the fast development in this area with new forms every day these models often come along with a supringly high level of details.

This book presents the history of cardmodels and the research results gained in more than ten years by the „Arbeitskreises Geschichte des Kartonmodellbaues (AGK) e.V.“ for the first in one book. A fascinating walk through 500 years of European history reflected in papermodels.

Another part of this book presents two dimensional papermodel sheets compared with the three dimensional models built out of them. The fascination of this process is simply amazing.
