Projects from early times
World-map of 8 square-metres
			The first project, which concerned with maps, was a world map in the scale 1:10’000’000. Simon Scherrer and me began with it in the summer holidays in 1991. On thick paper we projected the meridians and drew the coasts, rivers and borders. After more than 170 working hours our first cartographical product was finished.

World-map of 4 square-metres
		In autumn 1991 I drew a corresponding map of the world on 4 square-metres. This time the colours were set in political meaning.
The big globe
	In spring 1992 Simon Scherrer and me constructed a globe with 84 cm in diameter. Built of a wooden stick, styropor, wire grid and paper, it became paint. The surface couldn’t be constructed really smooth.
The world-signpost Together with Simon Scherrer I erected a signpost to about 25 important cities in the world. Painted in yellow colour the signpost showed the real direction and distance measured from Beinwil am See. It was set in a garden in Beinwil in September 1991. Nowadays it is uninstalled.
The printed atlas With a small hectographer-machine (simple mechanical printer, based on ethanol), we (Simon Scherrer and me) also printed an edition of a small hand drawn world-atlas. It consists 40-60 pages and was produced in about ten exemplaries.
The name-atlas
		examplel 1: Georgetown and Maya island		example 2: Victoria, Philippines …
The name-atlas is an hand drawn atlas, made by me and Simon Scherrer. It consists 350 forenames, which are hold in geographical names. Cities, countries, mountains, rivers or islands, having a human forename in its name were written in red. The names took place in the index as well.
The big S&W atlas
		S&W was the sign for the cartographical works of Simon Scherrer and Konrad Weber. The big atlas was drawn then by me alone. Every part of the world (also the seas) became projected in this atlas in the same scale (1: 12’000’000).
