Vermessungs- und Katasteramt

What Vermessungs- und Katasteramt does

The Vermessungs- und Katasteramt Bremerhaven is a municipal government department (Amt) of the Magistrat der Stadt Bremerhaven, responsible for maintaining the official Liegenschaftskataster (land cadastre) and providing land surveying, geodata, and property valuation services for the city of Bremerhaven and the stadtbremische Überseehafengebiet. Its core technical platform combines geographic information systems (Geodatenmanagement) with a legally mandated property registry covering all land parcels and buildings in the jurisdiction, supplemented by precision surveying capabilities (boundary determination, parcel subdivision, building surveys, staking out, construction monitoring, and precision leveling). The office also hosts the Gutachterausschuss für Grundstückswerte, an independent expert committee that produces legally binding property valuations, the Bodenrichtwertkarte (land value map), the Mietspiegel (rent index), the Kaufpreissammlung (purchase price collection), and the annual Grundstücksmarktbericht (property market report). An add-on Solarkataster extends the cadastral dataset into solar potential assessment, and a KI-Bürgerservice-Chatbot (built on neuraflow GmbH technology) handles text-based citizen inquiries. Operational status is active; the office is headed by Amtsleitung Marco Kewes and staffed by 11 employees.

The office is funded through the Stadt Bremerhaven municipal budget and statutory fees set under federal and state Gebührenordnungen; some outputs (Mietspiegel general section, Grundstücksmarktbericht) are provided free of charge. The go-to-market is non-commercial: services are delivered via a walk-in counter at the Technisches Rathaus (Fährstraße 20, Bremerhaven), an online services portal offering 19 documented service workflows, downloadable digital geodata, and inter-agency coordination with other city departments. There are no commercial marketing channels, no enterprise sales motion, and no third-party resellers; all demand is captive by statute. The entity is wholly owned by the city and operates under federal/state surveying law with BITV 2.0 accessibility and EU-DSGVO data protection compliance.

Direct peers

• Senatsverwaltung für Stadtentwicklung, Bauen und Wohnen - Vermessungsamt Berlin: Berlin's municipal surveying office responsible for the city's land cadastre, boundary determinations, and official geodata. Comparable in regulatory mandate, service portfolio, and statutory role to the Bremerhaven office.
• Landesamt für Geoinformation und Vermessung Hamburg: Municipal/state surveying and geoinformation office for Hamburg. Operates the same combination of Liegenschaftskataster, Gutachterausschuss, surveying services, and digital geodata offerings as Bremerhaven's Vermessungs- und Katasteramt.
• Landesamt für Geoinformation und Landesvermessung Niedersachsen (LGLN): State-level surveying and cadastral authority for Lower Saxony, which legally overlaps Bremerhaven's catchment. It maintains the Liegenschaftskataster, publishes Bodenrichtwerte, and provides official geodata services analogous to the Vermessungs- und Katasteramt.

Broad incumbents

• swisstopo (Switzerland): Swiss federal geoinformation agency. Comparable in its combination of official surveying, cadastral data, and digital geodata products; broader national scope than the Bremerhaven office but similar mandate.
• Lantmäteriet (Sweden): Swedish national land survey authority. Performs the same combination of cadastral registration, property valuation, and geodata distribution as the Vermessungs- und Katasteramt, with national reach.
• Ordnance Survey (UK): Great Britain's national mapping agency. Provides analogous surveying, cadastral, and geospatial data services, but at a national scale with a stronger commercial product orientation than a municipal German Katasteramt.
• Landesamt für Digitalisierung, Breitband und Vermessung Bayern (LDBV): Bavaria's state agency for surveying, geoinformation, and digitalization. Performs the same cadastral and valuation functions as Bremerhaven's office but at a much larger geographic and organizational scale, serving as a broad incumbent in the same space.
• Kadaster (Netherlands): Dutch national land registry and mapping agency. Comparable to the Vermessungs- und Katasteramt in maintaining the official land cadastre and publishing property data, but operates nationwide rather than municipality-level.

Regional players

• GeoInformation Bremen (geo.bremen.de): State-level open geodata portal for Bremen. Directly referenced by the Vermessungs- und Katasteramt as an integration partner for open data, making it a closely linked regional peer in the local geoinformation ecosystem.

Emerging players

• Vermessungsbüro Schwing & Dr. Neureither: Private German surveying firm offering boundary determinations, parcel subdivisions, and building surveys. Competes with the Vermessungs- und Katasteramt for non-statutory surveying work in the broader region and represents the private-sector alternative for the same use cases.
