The grids were made on the recommendation of 1. European workshops on reference networks
European Environment Agency in 2003 and later on the INSPIRE Directive
set. The reference grids 1 km, 10 km and 100 km are located in the "Open Data Portal of
European Union" available for download (https://open-data.europa.eu/de/data/).
The grids 100 m, 500 m and 5 km are due to the technical requirements of the LUBW
in addition, the tile names correspond to the nomenclature of
European Environment Agency.
Important information:
— For grid overlays please note that only the superordinate nodes are location-identical!
— Official EU data are available in an ETRS coordinate system with a projection (EPSG 3035) rather than all other UIS data in ETRS89 (EPSG 25832). As a result, the grids to UIS ETRS89 leaf sections (e.g. DOP) are not equal to cover and not perpendicular to each other!If you compare the coordinate system with EPSG code 25832 distortions are created.
— The grids are primarily used in nature conservation for mapping on cell accuracy.
Please note the following information on the completeness and quality of the data provided: due to inaccuracies in the acquisition of subject objects, non-valid geometries according to OGC schema validation occur occasionally. As GIS servers such as ArcGIS servers, GeoServers or UMN MapServer need to use/process more and more accurate data bases, the test routine is always further developed and encourages inaccuracies (e.g. by third-party software) in the tolerance range as well as in topological detection. This means that geometries can no longer be represented or captured. The contested geometry errors include, among other things, self-intersections (self-intersections) or double support points. The LUBW therefore cannot guarantee the completeness and stability of the Download Service (WFS). Therefore, if necessary, please check the completeness based on the presentation services (WMS) also offered.
