Gemeinde Schöneiche bei Berlin

What Gemeinde Schöneiche bei Berlin does

Gemeinde Schöneiche bei Berlin is a German municipal government entity (Gemeinde) in the state of Brandenburg, operating a public GIS-based Geoportal launched on November 1, 2010. The Geoportal serves the municipality's approximately 12,000 residents as well as external users — planners, notaries, surveyors, schools, and other public authorities — by publishing official geospatial, planning, and environmental data free of charge. Its core product surface includes the Kartenanwendung (map application) with around 450 catalogued location points in the village plan (Ortsplan), a Themenkatalog (thematic catalogue), XPlanung-compliant Bauleitplanung (urban land-use planning) records, an annual Bodenrichtwerte (statutory land reference values) dataset, a comprehensive Baumkataster (tree cadastre), a Schulwegplan (school route plan), environmental data services, and a Geoportal-Schule dedicated to schools.

The underlying technology is a standards-based GIS stack delivering OGC-compliant web services (WMS, WFS, and OGC-API), with integration into the state-level spatial data infrastructure of Brandenburg (GDI-BB) and the DiPlanung portal. The platform also functions as an Open Data publisher, notably releasing historical aerial imagery and maps dating back to 1767. Funding has combined EU EFRE grants (supporting the initial build) with the municipal budget; there is no commercial revenue model — the service is free to users and operates on a non-commercial, public-sector basis. The Geoportal has accumulated more than 1.15 million accesses since launch, indicating sustained and broad usage across its target audiences.

Core offering

Gemeinde Schöneiche bei Berlin operates a municipal Geoportal (GIS-based web platform) that publishes geographic, urban-planning, land-value and property-cadastre information for residents, property owners, businesses, and public authorities. The portal exposes official Bauleitpläne (urban development plans), Bodendenkmale (archaeological monument) data, Bodenrichtwerte (land values), Liegenschaftskataster (property cadastre) information, and INSPIRE-compliant spatial data services (WMS/WMTS). It is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (EFRE / ILE "Schöneicher Runde").

Product overview

The Geoportal Schöneiche bei Berlin is a unified geoportal platform providing the municipality's official geographic information system. The core platform centers on the Kartenanwendung (Map Application) which serves as the primary interface for viewing and analyzing geodata. The platform is organized around integrated modules: Themenkatalog provides a searchable catalog of all available geothemes; XPlanung delivers standardized digital planning data in XPlanGML format; and specialized sub-portals address specific municipal needs including Baumkataster (tree inventory), Bauleitplanung (construction planning), Bodenrichtwerte (land values), Ortsplan (village map), Schulwegplan (school routes), Geoportal-Schule (educational content), and public consultation functionality. The platform provides OGC-compliant geodienste (WMS, WFS, OGC-API) for integration with external GIS applications.

Direct peers

• con terra GmbH: German GIS consulting and software firm specializing in spatial data infrastructure, INSPIRE/XPlanung-compliant geoportals, and OGC services for public-sector clients. Direct competitor to Geoportal-Kommune (the Schöneiche vendor) in the German municipal geoportal market.
• WhereGroup: German vendor of Mapbender, MapServer, and QGIS-based geoportal solutions widely used by German municipalities and state agencies. Direct technology peer providing the software stack underlying many comparable municipal geoportals.

Broad incumbents

• Esri Deutschland (ArcGIS Hub): Leading GIS platform vendor whose ArcGIS Hub product powers many municipal and government geoportals across Germany. Broad incumbent offering overlapping capabilities (web maps, OGC services, open data portals) at a national scale, though not municipality-specific.
• Landesvermessung und Geoinformation Brandenburg (LGB): State-level surveying and geoinformation agency that supplies the geobasis data, operates the Geobroker platform, and provides free state-wide geodata services. Directly comparable as the upstream data and infrastructure partner of the Schöneiche geoportal within Brandenburg's spatial data infrastructure.

Emerging players

• Disy Informationssysteme GmbH: German specialist in environmental and geospatial data management, including cadastral and environmental reporting tools used by municipalities and agencies. Comparable as a specialized player in the German public-sector GIS software ecosystem.

Regional players

• Bauleitplanung Brandenburg (State Portal): State-level Brandenburg portal for public participation in municipal construction planning, directly linked to and integrated with the Schöneiche geoportal. Comparable as the upstream aggregation point for the same Bauleitplanung and §3 BauGB consultation workflows.
• Geoportal Berlin: Berlin's official municipal geoportal providing city-wide geospatial data, planning information, and OGC services. Comparable as a larger regional municipal geoportal operating under similar German legal and technical (XPlanung) frameworks but in the neighboring state.
• Geoportal Potsdam: City-level geoportal of Potsdam, another Brandenburg municipality. Direct functional peer serving a similar audience of citizens, planners, and developers with XPlanung-compliant planning data and OGC web services.
• Geoportal Cottbus: City-level geoportal of Cottbus/Chóśebuz, another Brandenburg municipality. Comparable municipal geoportal serving citizens and planning professionals within the same state's spatial data infrastructure.

Others

• OpenStreetMap Foundation: Open-source geospatial data project providing base map layers and crowdsourced geographic data. Comparable as an open-data geospatial ecosystem participant whose data and APIs are complementary to municipal geoportals.
