- Description
The dataset describes the land use structure in Germany comprehensively for the administrative levels of municipalities, municipal associations, districts and district-free cities, federal states, and Germany as a whole. The Earth's surface is divided into three categories: settlement, transportation, and open space, which are further subdivided into subcategories. Each element of the Earth's surface is assigned precisely one land category at the lowest level of a hierarchically organized land use schema. The dataset consists of geometrical data for the administrative levels from municipalities to the Federal Republic of Germany. For each spatial entity information on the amount of its land use is given by the proper attributes. Land-use categories are systematized according to a hierarchical scheme dividing the surface into subdivisions of three land use classes Settlement, Transportation, and Open space. The data is spatially structured according the administrative levels of Germany from municipalities to the federation.
