Vermessungsamt

What Vermessungsamt does

Vermessungsamt Marktoberdorf is the regional "Amt für Digitalisierung, Breitband und Vermessung" (ADBV) office of the Bavarian Surveying Administration, operating as a state government entity under the Free State of Bavaria. It is one of many regional offices reporting to the Landesamt für Digitalisierung, Breitband und Vermessung (LDBV) headquartered in Munich. The agency delivers statutory land surveying, cadastral, and digitalization services to private property owners, municipalities, and government bodies across the Bavarian territory, including broadband-infrastructure coordination for local governments.

Its core technology stack comprises the nationwide ALKIS cadastral information system, the SAPOS satellite positioning service operated jointly with the federal Working Committee of Surveying Authorities (AdV), and the BayernAtlas digital mapping platform, supplemented by the GeodatenOnline e-commerce portal for 24/7 ordering of geodata products. The product portfolio spans cadastral extracts (Flurkarte, Bauvorlage, Hauskoordinaten), topographic maps (DTK, ATK25, UK50, ATK100), aerial imagery, orthophotos, 3D building models (LoD2-BY), digital terrain models, and OGC-compliant web services, alongside surveying services such as Grenzvermessung, Grundstücksteilung, and Gebäudeeinmessung.

The revenue model combines regulated surveying fees under the Gebührenverordnung Vermessung (GebOVerm), one-time licensing of commercial geodata products via GeodatenOnline, and a freemium OpenData layer under CC BY 4.0. Distribution combines direct in-office service with self-serve online channels and field-based boundary marking through the Feldgeschworene (field jurors).

Regional players

• Ordnance Survey: United Kingdom's national mapping agency. Comparable function to the Bavarian Vermessungsverwaltung — produces authoritative mapping, geodata, and boundary information — but operates in a different country under a different legal framework. Strong analog for product breadth (data, APIs, paper maps) and commercial partnership models.
• Landesamt für Vermessung und Geoinformation Schleswig-Holstein: Schleswig-Holstein's surveying and geoinformation authority. Comparable statutory role providing cadastral surveys, property boundary documentation, and digital geodata products (ALKIS, topographic maps, aerial imagery) for property owners and municipalities in another German state.
• Landesamt für Vermessung und Geoinformation Thüringen: Thuringia's state surveying and geoinformation agency. Performs the equivalent statutory surveying, land registry, and geodata distribution function for property owners and municipalities within Thuringia — same product portfolio, same regulatory framework, different German state.
• Landesvermessung und Geobasisinformation Brandenburg (LGB): Brandenburg's state surveying and geobasis authority. Operates the official land registry, geodata portal, and surveying services — functionally identical to the Bavarian Vermessungsverwaltung but in a different German state. Closest analog in terms of statutory mandate and product offering.
• Landesamt für Geoinformation und Landentwicklung Baden-Württemberg: State surveying and geoinformation agency for Baden-Württemberg. Performs the equivalent statutory function as Marktoberdorf for an adjacent German state: maintains the Liegenschaftskataster, operates the state geodata portal, and provides official surveying, mapping, and boundary services to property owners and municipalities.
• Bundesamt für Eich- und Vermessungswesen (BEV): Austria's federal office for metrology and surveying. Conducts official cadastral surveying, maintains the national geodetic reference, and provides authoritative geodata for property boundaries, maps, and positioning — directly analogous to the Bavarian Vermessungsverwaltung's mandate within its jurisdiction.
• IGN (Institut national de l'information géographique et forestière): France's national geographic and forest information institute. Performs cadastral-adjacent surveying, mapping, and geodata distribution for a national territory. Comparable in scale and mandate to the Bavarian state surveying authority, with a similar product portfolio of authoritative digital and paper maps.
• swisstopo (Bundesamt für Landestopografie): Switzerland's federal topography office. Operates the cadastral surveying system, national geodata portal (map.geo.admin.ch), and produces official topographic maps. Closest international analog in terms of integrated surveying + digital geodata + open-data licensing approach.

Others

• Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie (BKG): Germany's federal geoinformation and geodesy agency. Operates at the national level, coordinating state surveying authorities (AdV) and providing federal geodata products. While not a direct competitor for cadastral services, BKG's data sets and SAPOS infrastructure underpin the same ecosystem in which Marktoberdorf operates.
• Landesamt für Digitalisierung, Breitband und Vermessung (LDBV): Parent organization of the Vermessungsamt Marktoberdorf. LDBV is the central state authority coordinating all Bavarian surveying, digitalization, and broadband administration. It provides the strategy, IT infrastructure, and centralized services (ALKIS, SAPOS, BayernAtlas) on which regional Ämter like Marktoberdorf operate.
