The Ebstorf Map is an example of a mappa mundi (a Medieval European map of the world). It was made by Gervase of Ebstorf some time in the thirteenth century.

The map was found in a convent in Ebstorf; in northern Germany; in 1843. It was a very large map; painted on 30 goatskins sewn together and measuring around 3.6 by 3.6 metres (12 ft x 12 ft)鈥攁 greatly elaborated version of the common medieval tripartite; or T and O; map; centered on Jerusalem with east at the top. The head of Christ was depicted at the top of the map; with his hands on either side and his feet at the bottom. Rome is represented in the shape of a lion; and the map reflects an evident interest in the distribution of bishoprics.

There was text around the map; which included descriptions of animals; the creation of the world; definitions of terms; and a sketch of the more common sort of T and O map with an explanation of how the world is divided into three parts. The map incorporated both pagan and biblical history.

The original was destroyed in 1943; during the Allied bombing of Hanover in World War II. There survives a set of black-and-white photographs of the original map; taken in 1891; and several colour facsimiles of it were made before it was destroyed.
