Blurred = readable in the file you buy: every boundary length, every angle, area, perimeter and setbacks – dimensioned to scale.
The file is being generated – just a few seconds.
You have generated a lot of previews in the past hour. Please try again later.
The preview cannot be generated right now. The extract itself is unaffected.

Setback areas
- Crosses the boundary
- Wall on the boundary (boundary building): no setback area there.
- On the map: drag to move, the round handle rotates. Keyboard: arrow keys move, Shift and arrow keys rotate.
- The sheet shows the project, the setback areas and the distance to every boundary.
For orientation, not a permit. These figures reproduce the state building code. A local by-law, a development plan or a registered building encumbrance can set different dimensions — and there is no nationwide register of such by-laws. Only the building authority's own information is binding. [What the zoning plan says](https://schwarzplan.eu/en/german-zoning-plans/)

 The boundary stone marks on the ground what the cadastral map shows as a line – you find it via the cadastral district, sector and parcel number. Terminology
## Flurkarte, Liegenschaftskarte, Katasterplan — what is the difference?
None. It is the same map. Which name it carries depends on the federal state, the authority and how old the usage is. The only real distinction is between the map itself and the official document produced from it.
| Term | What it means | Where the term is official |
|---|---|---|
| Cadastral map | The official map of the German land register (Liegenschaftskataster), showing parcel boundaries, parcel numbers and buildings. | The current technical term nationwide, introduced with ALKIS. |
| Cadastral map | The same map. The older name, still in everyday use. | Still the official product name of the state survey authority in Bavaria (Digitale Flurkarte, DFK) and North Rhine-Westphalia (Amtliche Flurkarte NRW). |
| Katasterplan, Katasterkarte, Flurplan | Again, the same map. | Nowhere — colloquial, but widely used. |
| Katasterauszug, Auszug aus der Liegenschaftskarte | Not the map, but the official document derived from it — sealed, chargeable and legally binding. | Nationwide. Only the cadastral office issues it. |
| ALKIS | Not a map name but the system behind it. It merged the former cadastral map (ALK) and the cadastral register (ALB). | Nationwide, introduced in every federal state. |
For Braunschweig the data is maintained by LGLN Niedersachsen. Whatever the map is called there changes nothing about its content — or about the fact that you can view it above without signing up.
 A boundary only becomes binding through a survey. The online map shows the cadastral record, it does not replace it. What it is good for
## When is the online map enough — and when do you need the official extract?
This map is enough
- Looking up a parcel number or cadastral district
- Estimating a plot's shape and its neighbouring boundaries
- Preparing for a purchase or an estate agent meeting
- A first assessment before dealing with the authorities
Official extract required
- Building applications and submission documents
- Notary appointments, purchase contracts, the land register
- Boundary disputes and surveying
- Anything requiring legally binding documentation
For Braunschweig, official extracts are issued solely by LGLN Niedersachsen — the responsible body is the cadastral authority of your district or independent city. Depending on the format, fees are typically in the low double digits (euros).

In between: the parcel sheet
If you need the sheet but no certification: your parcel as a print-ready PDF at a standard scale of 1:250 to 1:2500, sheet size A4 to A2 at the same price, with north arrow, scale bar, title block and source note. €9.00, download right after payment.

FAQ
## Cadastral maps, parcels & the German cadastre
### Can I view the cadastral map of Braunschweig online for free?
Yes. The map above shows the cadastral parcels in the Braunschweig map extent — no sign-up, no fee. 1,444,045 parcels are covered there. It is a non-binding orientation based on official open geodata, not an official cadastral extract.
### How do I find my parcel number in Braunschweig?
Search for your address in Braunschweig above and zoom into the map. Parcel numbers appear once buildings become visible. A click reveals the cadastral district (Gemarkung), sector (Flur) and number — this extent holds 1,213 districts and 9,088 sectors.
### How large is a typical plot in Braunschweig?
Within the Braunschweig map extent, half of all cadastral parcels are smaller than 814 m² (median); the mean is 7,260 m². The mean sits consistently above the median because a few large areas — forest, industry, transport — pull it upwards.
### Are the property boundaries on this map legally binding?
No. The boundaries come from open geodata published by the state surveying authority and serve as orientation. Only the official extract from the German cadastre (Liegenschaftskataster) is legally binding — for Niedersachsen it is issued by LGLN Niedersachsen. You need that extract for a building application, a boundary dispute or a notary appointment.
### Is the Flurkarte in Braunschweig also called Liegenschaftskarte or Katasterplan?
Yes, these all refer to the same map. Liegenschaftskarte is the current technical term from ALKIS, Flurkarte the older name, and Katasterplan, Katasterkarte or Flurplan are colloquial variants. For Braunschweig the map above shows the same content in every case: parcel boundaries, parcel numbers, cadastral district and land parcel block. The one genuine difference is the Katasterauszug — the sealed document produced from it.
### Where does the cadastral data for Braunschweig come from?
From the open geodata of Niedersachsen: © LGLN (2026), CC BY 4.0. Figures as of 2026-08-14.
