Geodata

Information and links to geodata of Germany, Europe and worldwide.

A wide range of geodata is available for the state of Hesse, which can be used in form of project works. In any case, a corresponding data request must be sent to the rights holder and the use of the data must be formalized by means of a corresponding user agreement. In order to support project workers in their data research and request, the Geoinformation Working Group for the Federal State of Hesse offers suitable forms. which are subdivided according to topics and contact persons.

If the data request is carried out within the framework of a cooperation with the rights holder HLNUG, the submission is generally free of charge.

If the data request is carried out outside of a cooperation with the rights holder HLNUG, each data request will be reviewed and decided upon.

If the data request is made to an institution other than HLNUG, each data request will be reviewed and decided upon. In this case, fees may be charged.

Topographic maps for Hesse can be obtained free of charge from the HVBG, provided that the following conditions are met:

Universities represent a part of the Hessian Ministry of Culture according to costs. It follows that only the university itself, as an institution, is entitled to fee exemption, not its members.

The prerequisite for exemption from charges is that the services (e.g. geodata) are used exclusively for teaching purposes at the university and that the costs for this cannot be imposed on any third party. Any disclosure of data received is prohibited to universities. A dissertation is not part of the teaching mission of universities, even if it is usually completed there. Rather, it is in the private personal interest of the candidate and is also not a prerequisite for practicing a profession.
