Web raster

Description

The map service basemap.de web grid is an internet map service developed jointly by the federal and state governments and provided by the Central Agency for Geotopography (ZSGT) on behalf of the states. Based on official geospatial data, it provides an attractive, Germany-wide map display in zoom levels from individual buildings to an overview of Germany. Its powerful implementation based on international standards and its modern cartographic design support a wide range of application areas.

The vector maps of the basemap.de Web Vector product serve as the basis for the creation of basemap.de Web Raster, from which raster images are derived in colour and grey. The data bases are the basic landscape model, house coordinates and 3D building models from the federal states as well as the digital landscape models 1:250,000, 1:1,000,000 maintained at the BKG. Other free data sources, such as the census, are used for the labelling. The image archive is processed at the BKG into a high-performance Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) and flexible Web Map Service (WMS).

The basemap.de web grid has replaced WebAtlasDE.

Deployment

This is provided basemap.de web grid via WMS and WMTS services in color and gray at ZSGT (WMS and WMTS) and primarily serves to replace the WebAtlasDE. In addition to a new content characterisation of the map, the raster tile archives are created "from a single source", so that the previous time-consuming coordination process, including the associated regulations for production by the federal states, could be replaced.

Services:
WMS (versions 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.3.0): https://sgx.geodatenzentrum.de/wms_basemapde?REQUEST=GetCapabilities&Version=1.3.0
WMTS: https://sgx.geodatenzentrum.de/wmts_basemapde/1.0.0/WMTSCapabilities.xml

The raster tile archives are produced in the Web Mercator (EPSG: 3857), ETRS89 UTM32 (EPSG: 25832) and ETRS89 UTM33 (EPSG: 25833) projections and are provided via the Color and Gray layer services.

Viewer:
The basemap.de web raster can be viewed via GDI-DE (geoportal.de) for the ETRS89 UTM32 projection.

Up-to-dateness, data model and meta information

The basemap.de web grid becomes updated quarterly. The current status of the map or the content can be found in the meta information of the service. The following continuously updated information is available for the data sources used.

• Data updates basemap.de web grid

The underlying data model essentially corresponds to that of the basemap.de web vector. Only the shading, the contour layers and the contour lines are not included. Detailed information can be found under the following link.

• Data model basemap.de Web Raster

The service or layers are given a legend that is automatically created based on the style files (JSON) used, so that changes to the characteristics can be immediately reflected in the legend.
In addition, the following signature catalogues are created from the style files (JSON) grey and colour for the basemap.de web grid automatically derived:

• Signature catalog basemap.de web grid color
• Signature catalog basemap.de web grid gray

frequently asked Questions

As of: June 20, 2023

How can I address individual layers of the WMS or WMTS services of the Web Raster and Web Raster Hillshade raster maps?

Detailed information can be found in the respective documentation of the raster services (PDF Chapter 3.2 and PDF Chapter 3.2).

Can I embed the web map on my website (e.g. via i-frame)?

Yes, integrating the basemap.de web vector and web raster into your own website is permitted.

Can the raster map basemap.de Web Raster also be accessed via "http://.../Z/X/Y.png" (Slippy map tilenames)?

Yes, via the use of the tile matrix set GLOBAL_WEBMERCATOR.
Example: https://sgx.geodatenzentrum.de/wmts_basemapde/tile/1.0.0/de_basemapde_web_raster_farbe/default/GLOBAL_WEBMERCATOR/{z}/{y}/{x}.png

Can I adapt the basemap.de Web Raster web map to my needs?

No, the basemap.de Web Raster is pre-calculated grid tiles that cannot be edited later. However, the basemap.de web vector can be customized. Information about this can be found here: basemap.de web vector

How do I set my own symbols on the basemap.de Web Raster web map?

It is not possible to directly integrate your own symbols into the web map. However, additional symbols can be implemented via overlays.

Where can I find the metadata for the data and services you provide?

Meta information comes partly via the web services themselves (e.g. Capabilities), but can also be accessed via the BKG's Metadata Information System (MIS): https://mis.bkg.bund.de/freitextsuche?action=doSearch&q=basemap.de&f=

Why are there differences in the timeliness of building data?

The building data (LOD1) is currently used from a nationwide central data storage system, which is updated annually by the states. We are currently working on making the building data available on a tighter timeline in the future.
