Vicke Schorler

Vicke Schorler (–1625) was a grocer in the German Hanseatic city of Rostock. He created two historically significant works about the city: the "Vicke Schorler scroll", a monumental drawing with the title Wahrhaftige Abcontrafactur der hochloblichen und weitberuhmten alten See- und Hensestadt Rostock (approximately True depiction of the highly praiseworthy and widely famous old sea port and Hanseatic city of Rostock) (1578–1586), and the Rostock Chronicle (1583–1625).
