Property Maps
The Liegenschaftskarte is a true-to-scale, graphical representation of all land parcels. It is the official map basis of the land register and serves as precise evidence of the location and boundaries of a plot of land. Both an official (amtlich) and an unofficial (nicht amtlich) version are available.

• Liegenschaftskarte (official): It is an official document issued by the cadastral office and carries "public faith" status. This means it holds full legal evidential value. Authorities, notaries, and banks require this version for building applications, notarial acts, or property financing.
• Liegenschaftskarte (unofficial): This serves purely for informational purposes. It has no legal binding effect and is generally not accepted for formal processes (such as a loan application or building permit). It lacks the official seal and the authority's guarantee of accuracy.
The Liegenschaftskarte displays districts (Flure), land parcels (Flurstücke, usually marked with yellow numbers), and the complete properties. A single property can consist of several land parcels. For better orientation, the map also includes street names, house numbers, and the so-called Gemarkung (the largest administrative unit, often referring to natural boundaries such as a local area). The map is typically presented at scales of 1:500 to 1:5,000.
• Obtaining the official Liegenschaftskarte takes more time and typically takes between 2 and 14 business days, and in rare cases even longer.
• The unofficial Liegenschaftskarte is provided considerably faster and is usually available within 1 to 3 business days. Delays here can really only occur if no plot data was provided at the time of ordering and this information still needs to be determined.
