Preliminary communication

Abstract
When archive material was being gathered to make an urban planning-conservationist study of the historic nucleus of Vinkovci, a previously unknown plan of the town from the end ofthe eighteenth century was discovered. it was the chart ofthe first cadastral land-surveyofthe military commune of Vinkovci in 16 sections, and the oldest oftown plans known to date. A series of secondary elements date it to 1777-1781. The plan is coloured, hand-drawn in a scale of 1:3600, and described in old German orthography.
Since the centre of the town it shows was at that time only about thirty years old, it is an important contribution to knowledge about the urbanplanning-architectural structure of late-baroque Vinkovci.
