Flurkarte

A Flurkarte is a map used in cadastral administration that shows the boundaries and extents of land parcels, known as Flurstücke, within a municipality. It forms part of the official cadastral system used for property boundaries and land registration. Each Flurstück has a unique identifier (Flurstücksnummer) and belongs to a Gemarkung and a Flur. The map typically displays parcel borders, size, and the locations of buildings, roads, and other notable features.

The Flurkarte serves as an authoritative representation of parcel geometry and identifiers and is used in administrative and civil procedures, planning, taxation, and property transactions. While it provides essential boundary information, legal ownership and boundary definitions are formally recorded in the land register (Grundbuch); the Flurkarte supports and supplements those records.

Digital development and use: In modern administration, the Flurkarte is available in digital form as part of the Amtliches Liegenschaftskataster Informationssystem (ALKIS) and is used in geographic information systems (GIS). The digital Flurkarte is maintained by the Vermessungs- und Katasterbehörden of the states and can be accessed for official extracts and planning purposes. Variations in terminology exist across regions, but the concept remains the same: a cadastral map that documents parcel boundaries and identifiers for property management and legal processes.
