In 1912, the city archivist Dr. Christian Spielmann and the city surveyor Julius Krake published the large-format historical work entitled "Atlas of the City of Wiesbaden" on the cover, which the two authors described much more accurately on the title page as "The development of the soft landscape of the city of Wiesbaden since the end of the 18th century. Atlas with accompanying text".

The twelve maps depict in detail the structural development from a small farming town in 1799 to a large city in 1910. If the twelve plates are already a real treasure trove for anyone interested in history, each of them gains even more value through Spielmann's knowledgeable explanations. Not only the maps, but especially the explanatory texts are valuable explanations of the city's architectural development. The atlas provides a reliable insight into Wiesbaden's growth into a spa town within a century. The twelve plates are produced on the same scale and with the same illustration and coloring, thus creating a continuous, constantly expanding picture for the viewer. As a result of this concept, the Spielmann Atlas is a unique cartographic and urban-historical work and can lay claim to lasting validity with its historically reliable, illustrative treatise on the architectural development of Wiesbaden in the 19th century.

In 2002, the Wiesbaden City Archive published a digitized version of the Spielmann Atlas of 1912.
