The map
Kleve is in the far west of Germany, a few kilometres from the Dutch border, on the edge of the flat lower Rhine plain. The town centre sits on a small ridge, which is unusual in this flat landscape, and the streets climb towards the Schwanenburg, the castle that dominates the old town. From above the old streets curve around the hill before opening up into the lowlands.
To the north and west, the Spoy Canal leads through the town towards the Rhine, and old baroque gardens and avenues from the time of Johann Moritz of Nassau-Siegen add long, straight green lines to the map. The Rhine-Waal University campus sits by the water on the edge of the centre.
A Kleve map poster shows the contrast between the compact hill town and the open, water-crossed plain around it. The Schwanenburg is linked to the Lohengrin legend of the swan knight, and Anne of Cleves, the fourth wife of Henry VIII, came from the ducal family that ruled here.
The castle stands on a ridge above the old town, and the streets curve up to it. On the map this raised centre is the tightest knot of streets.
A narrow canal runs from the town towards the Rhine, with the university campus along its bank. It adds a straight line of water to the poster.
Seventeenth-century gardens and tree-lined avenues stretch across the western edge of town, forming long, deliberate lines that stand out against the curved streets.

Why Kleve
Kleve maps go to students of the Rhine-Waal University, families from the lower Rhine and people who crossed the border to live here. The hill, castle and canal make a clear, balanced composition.
