      Rupelmonde is known as the birthplace of Gerardus Mercator.

      Who was Mercator?

      Gerard Mercator (originally Gerard De Kremer or De Cremer; Latin: Gerardus Mercator Rupelmundanus, "Gerard de Kremer van Rupelmonde") (Rupelmonde, March 5, 1512 – Duisburg, December 2, 1594) was a cartographer, instrument maker and engraver, from the County of Flanders and the Waasland, who was already considered the "Ptolemy of his time" during his lifetime. [source?] He was the first to apply a true-to-angle map projection; later named mercator projection after him.


      Mercator saw himself much more as a scientific cosmographer than as someone who had to earn his living by making and selling maps. His production was limited. He is known for a pair of globes, five wall maps and an unfinished cosmography. He also introduced the word atlas. This word included all the maps of the cosmos at the time; so of both the universe and the earth. His products, which Mercator mainly manufactured in the German Rhine city of Duisburg, had a significant influence on later commercial mapmakers in the Netherlands.
