Über diese Karte
The economic importance of the town was further diminished in 1871 when the important new Košice–Bohumín Railway was built just 8 km (5.0 mi) to the south, bypassing Levoča and going through the nearby town of Spišská Nová Ves. Later, in 1892, only a spur line was built from Spišská Nová Ves railway station to Levoča. Erwin Raisz, a famed cartographer who immigrated to the United States after earning a degree in engineering and architecture from the University of Hungary and after serving in WWI, was born in Levoča in 1893. Raisz learned about map making from his father, also a civil engineer, and was no doubt inspired by the topography of his homeland to create a unique hand-drawn method of portraying physiographic features. He taught at Harvard University and wrote the first cartography textbook in English.
