Your bank, notary or an authority needs a document?

Because as publicly appointed surveying engineers we take part in the tasks of official surveying. We may give information from the real estate cadastre, issue extracts from the cadastral map and the land register and issue certificates.

It is usually faster with us, and if a survey is needed anyway, you get both from one source.

There is none. "Flurkarte" is the older name used in everyday language. The official name is Liegenschaftskarte (cadastral map). It shows all land parcels and important buildings to scale.

A boundary certificate (Grenzbescheinigung) proves that buildings, structures or access and utility facilities lie within the boundaries of the parcel. Deviations or buildings that cross the boundary, for example when something stands fully or partly on the neighbouring land, are documented in the certificate. It can only be issued on the basis of a current survey.

Banks often ask for it when you take out a loan secured on the property.

They are official services. The fees are set by the state fee regulation (VermKostVO M-V) and are the same at all official surveying bodies. You get a cost estimate in advance free of charge.

From the cadastre and surveying office of your district or from a publicly appointed surveying engineer, including us. The fee is the same everywhere, set by the fee regulation VermKostVO M-V.

Tell us what you need the extract for, and we choose the right one.

As an official extract on paper or as a PDF. For planning and CAD we also deliver the data digitally, in the exchange format NAS or as DWG and DXF (see digital cadastral data).

Anyone can get an extract from the cadastral map without owner details. Owner details are only given with a legitimate interest, for example to the owner or with the owner's authorisation.

From us. The address or the parcel number is enough. As a prospective buyer you receive the map without owner details. What else to check before buying is on the page Buying property in Germany.

From the land registry at the local court (Amtsgericht), through a notary or from us. As publicly appointed surveying engineers we may view the electronic land register and issue land register printouts. You do not need to apply to the court yourself.

No. Only someone with a legitimate interest may view the land register (§ 12 GBO), for example the owner, an heir, a bank or a prospective buyer with the seller's consent.

If it is only about the parcel and ownership, the cheaper parcel and ownership record from the real estate cadastre is often enough.

The address or the parcel (Gemarkung, Flur, Flurstück), and if known the land register district and sheet number. Plus proof of your legitimate interest, for example an authorisation from the owner.

Not directly. The electronic land register is only open to authorised bodies such as notaries, authorities and publicly appointed surveying engineers. But you can request the land register extract from us online and receive the printout as a PDF or on paper.

NAS stands for Normbasierte Austauschschnittstelle (standards-based exchange interface). It is the nationwide format in which official cadastral data is supplied. It contains the data of the real estate cadastre: land parcels, buildings and actual land use. For planning and GIS it is the most reliable basis. Technically, however, it is a large XML file that is not meant to be viewed directly.

The real estate cadastre is kept by the cadastral offices of the districts and independent cities. The State Office for Internal Administration (Landesamt für innere Verwaltung) brings the data together for the whole state. As publicly appointed surveying engineers we order the digital extracts for you and issue official extracts from the cadastral map ourselves. On request we also set up regular updates.

Usually not, the format is too complex for that. So we convert the data into the format you need, for example DXF, DWG or Shape. We make sure the layers are well structured and the symbols are correct. We also state the coordinate reference system clearly, so the data sits in the right place in your project.

Not always. The accuracy depends on how and when the boundary points were created, and the cadastral map itself does not tell you this. Legally, the position is only reliable for established boundary points (§ 29 Abs. 1 GeoVermG M-V). If you want to plan or build close to the boundary, have the boundary checked first and, if necessary, officially established. We do both for you.

Owner details are personal data, so they are not supplied with the digital extracts. If you have a legitimate interest, we can prepare a land register print or a parcel and ownership record (Flurstücks- und Eigentumsnachweis) from the real estate cadastre for you. For planning, parcel and building data is almost always enough.

We supply cadastral extracts and cadastral maps, prepared ALKIS data in the format you need, boundary checks and official boundary surveys, and an assessment of how reliable the boundaries really are.
