About 1800, geometry played an important role in the flourishing military and engineering professions. Additionally, it was discussed within philosophy whether geometry can act as a model for sciences. At the same time educational science paid more and more attention to geometry. In Ducal Sachsen-Weimar und Eisenach geometry was taught at the grammar school and the drawing school of Weimar, and at the University of Jena. The study at hand deals with pictures used to impart geometry. For this purpose one representative geometrical textbook was chosen for each of the institutions mentioned above. The analysis focuses on the function of the illustrations, mainly of the illustrations of land surveying. In this context, the pictures illustrate spatial constellations, which are combinations of typified characters of objects - like trees, buildings, and bodies of water - and elementary forms of plane geometry and lettering. The concrete elements in these geometrical pictures constitute perceptual proximity and thereby bridge the gap between the lifeworld and the geometrical abstraction, i. e. in terms of Kant between the sensuous and non-sensuous visualization (Anschauung).
