Surveying and geoinformation systems

The GIS, Surveying department consists of 5 employees. Currently, the department manages more than 30 thematic cadastres and makes them available to the employees of the city administration via intranet. These are spatial data from the sewer cadastre to the street cadastre and statistical districts. The thematic cadastres form the basis for any planning in building construction or civil engineering. Furthermore, the department is responsible for all surveying necessary in the city administration. These include work in connection with new construction or renovation measures, but also sovereign controls as well as surveys for urban land use planning procedures and updating of thematic cadastres.
