One building, several stories
The core color shows type; the translucent outer halo shows material. Circle area follows floor count. An outlined ring marks a positive listing label; a small × marks recorded loss. A dashed halo means the floor count is unresolved. The size key illustrates 1, 5 and 15 floors; it is a proportional guide, not a fixed scale at every zoom level. All values are also available in Building index and Data.
Read the connections
Each line joins consecutive visible buildings with the same use, ordered by recorded construction year. Ties use alphabetical name order. The sequence updates with the current filters. Entries in the other or unresolved postal-label strip are excluded. These links show neither physical connections nor historical influence. This rule was defined for the current reconstruction; it was not recovered from the original software. Hovering or selecting a building highlights its previous and next connected records.
Outline traced from the 2022 visualization. Positions are reconstructed within broad postal groups, not exact building coordinates. On wide screens, horizontal spacing is expanded for readability; distances and shapes are schematic. Entries with other or unresolved postal labels appear in a separate strip.
Scroll the mouse wheel over the map or use +/− to zoom; pan using the arrow buttons or drag the background when zoomed. On touch screens, use the arrow buttons to move the map; swipe to scroll the page and pinch to magnify it. Keyboard: arrow keys move between buildings; Enter opens details. Use the Data tab for the equivalent text table.
