Abstract	Spatial thinking is a key asset in geography education. Thus pre-service geography teachers need to be trained in spatial thinking. Since comics seem to be a good approach to teaching geography, in [this] study [the authors] wanted to find out about the possibilities to teach spatial thinking with comics. How do students put their spatial thinking into practice while producing their own comics? What does this mean for the learning process? [The authors] analyzed comics, which were produced by teacher students in a mid-level university seminar for the use in the geography classroom. In the analysis of the comics produced by [their] students [the authors] gauged their abilities to think spatially in terms of the spatial concepts developed by Wardenga. [The authors] contextualized the visual output of the comics with a survey [they] conducted among the participants, which [they] analyzed using qualitative content analysis. [The authors] found that [their] students had difficulties assessing the potential of comics to teach spatial thinking in a purely verbal and theoretical way. However, in their own productions they showed high levels of creativity expressing spatial concepts. Comics produced by learners offer unique opportunities for the reflection and assessment of their ways of spatial thinking. (Orig.).
