Dataset description

Data and maps on habitats of plants and animals with special attention to the legally protected biotopes. The basis for the data collection of the biotopes/habitats of Hamburg are the "Mapping Instructions and Biotope Type Keys for Biotope Mapping Hamburg" and the "Biotope Assessment for Biotope Mapping Hamburg". Both can be found as download files in PDF format at https://www.hamburg.de/biotopkartierung. On this page, the biotope mapping is also briefly explained. Despite plausibility checks, no guarantee can be given for the completeness or accuracy of the data. The actual state of a biotope in nature is always decisive for the implementation of the statutory biotope protection. WMS card services: The datasets underlying these data are derived from a modelling that leads to a comprehensive mapping as an overlay-free layer. For this purpose, the data of the overall database of the biotope register Hamburg were used, which completely reproduce the vintages 2010 to 12/2019. This may lead to deviations in the size data compared to those in the survey form. The size information in the survey forms is decisive. For the WMS card service, there is a GML file corresponding to the WMS card service. Download area: In addition, a GML file with an extended attribute table and all vintages is provided (zip, in the download area, see link above), which contains the geographical data of the biotopes as well as their essential descriptive data with the exception of the plant species lists for the individual biotopes. The GML files can be integrated into geographic information systems (GIS). The instructions for this can be found in the download area of the transparency portal for the biotope register Hamburg (Link: List of hits on the Transparency Portal Hamburg). All information on a biotope can be found in the corresponding survey sheet, which is also provided as a zip file in the download area of the transparency portal. The sheets are assigned to the biotopes via the DK5, biotope no. and the mapping date (e.g. 6620_317_080716.pdf).

Questions before production use

Practical answers on evaluation, licensing, freshness, versioning and support.

api.store is built and operated by Apitalks s.r.o. Company details and a direct contact path are linked in the footer for vendor checks and procurement review.
Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.
Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.
Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.
Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
