Adam Friedrich Zürner

Adam Friedrich Zürner (15 August 1679 – 18 December 1742) was a German cartographer and geometrician.

In the 18th century, he served as the royal commissioner for lands and boundaries of the Electorate of Saxony.

[4] In 1711, seeking the interest of Augustus II the Strong, he mapped the amt, with it being published in Amsterdam by Peter Schenk the Elder shortly after.

On 4 March 1716, he was appointed Churfürstlich Sächsischer Königlich Polnischer Geograph by Augustus; his service secured his membership at the Prussian Academy of Sciences the same year.

His Neue Chur Sæchsische Post Charte (1715) was published by Moritz Bodenehr [de] and Atlas saxonicus novus by Peter Schenk the Younger, with the latter first surfacing in 1752.
