Abstract: The article analyses how the salt mining districts of a geographically small but politically divided region covering alpine stretches of today’s Austria and Germany are represented in late 17th century topographical literature. The way these districts are described and depicted in texts, maps and images of the famous “Topographia Germaniae”, published by Matthäus Merian the Elder and his successors, deepens our understanding of the construction of regionality and the role of materiality and human economic practices in this construction process.
