Pieter Schenk (I), Map of Fort Knokke
Fort Knokke was a fortress in the Belgian province of West Flanders. It was situated at the mouth of the Ieperlee in the Yser, north of Reninge and Merkem, close to the border with Nieuwkapelle.
Petrus Schenck (Elberfeld, Wuppertal, North Rhine-Westphalia December 26, 1660 - Leipzig, Saxony, Germany 1711) was a German engraver and mapmaker. Together with his son of the same name, Pieter Schenk (II), Schenck was one of the most important figures of Saxon cartography in the first half of the 18th century.
Petrus Schenck spent his apprenticeship or joined the Amsterdam engraver and map publisher Gerard Valck. Schenck lived in the Jordaan on the Lauriergracht. Around 1700, he settled in Leipzig as a globetrotter, mapmaker and art dealer.
