Have a Historical Maquette Made – Bringing the Past to Life
A historical maquette brings history to life. At 3D Maquettes, we specialize in creating accurate and atmospheric models based on old photographs, maps, and drawings. Whether it’s a lost building, a historic city center, or an important moment from the past – we translate historical sources into tangible and educational maquettes.
Historical maquettes are ideal for giving visitors, students, or residents a concrete idea of what a place or building looked like in the past. They make history understandable, visual, and tangible – often much more powerfully than archival materials or text alone.
Our historical maquettes are often used by:
We accurately reconstruct how a building, site, or streetscape looked in a specific period. For this, we use available sources such as:
If no 3D file is available, we create a digital design ourselves based on the source material, which serves as the basis for the maquette. If you do have a 3D file, for example from a reconstruction project, we naturally use it as the starting point.
A historical maquette requires more than just form – it’s also about atmosphere, materials, and recognizability. That’s why we pay close attention to color schemes, architectural styles, site layout, and entourage. Where appropriate, we add small details such as vehicles, trees, or figures to make the historical period even more tangible.
We are happy to advise you on scale, structure, and presentation.
