The WebAtlasDE is an Internet map service jointly developed by the Federal Government and the Länder and provided by the Federal Office for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG). On the basis of official geo-based data, it provides an attractive, uniform map representation throughout Germany in zoom levels from the individual building to the overview of Germany. Its efficient realisation based on international standards and its modern cartographic design support a wide range of applications. Data bases for the WebAtlasDE are the basic landscape model, house coordinates and house surrounds from the real estate register of the federal states as well as the digital landscape models maintained at the BKG 1:250 000 and 1:1 000 000.
Based on the above source data, a preprocessed grid tile archive (cache) is calculated. This is used as the basis for the WebAtlasDE rendering services. The metadata set here describes this grid tile archive of the version in UTM32 grayscale representation.
