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
Liegenschaftskarte 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 Cottbus the data is maintained by LGB Brandenburg (BB-Viewer). Whatever the map is called there changes nothing about its content — or about the fact that you can view it above without signing up.

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 Cottbus, official extracts are issued solely by LGB Brandenburg (BB-Viewer) — 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).

FAQ

Cadastral maps, parcels & the German cadastre

Can I view the cadastral map of Cottbus online for free? +
Yes. The map above shows the cadastral parcels in the Cottbus map extent — no sign-up, no fee. 341,782 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 Cottbus? +
Search for your address in Cottbus 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 402 districts and 1,416 sectors.
How large is a typical plot in Cottbus? +
Within the Cottbus map extent, half of all cadastral parcels are smaller than 1,772 m² (median); the mean is 8,436 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 Brandenburg it is issued by LGB Brandenburg (BB-Viewer). You need that extract for a building application, a boundary dispute or a notary appointment.
Is the Flurkarte in Cottbus 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 Cottbus 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 Cottbus come from? +
From the open geodata of Brandenburg: © GeoBasis-DE/LGB, dl-de/by-2-0. Figures as of 2026-08-14.
