Friedrich Wilhelm Putzger

Friedrich Wilhelm Putzger (10 January 1849, Siebenlehn - 3 August 1913, Plauen) was a German teacher and cartographer.

He updated the Physikalisch-statistischer Atlas des deutschen Reiches (Richard Andree, Oskar Peschel, Verlag Velhagen & Klasing) and in 1877 in Leipzig first published the F. W. Putzgers Historischer Schul-Atlas intended for use in schools.

Due to its low price, it was a success.

The current edition is Putzger - Atlas und Chronik zur Weltgeschichte.
