International Geological Map of Europe and neighbouring regions 1:5,000,000 — German share (IGME5000-EN)

The International Geological Map of Europe on a scale of 1:5,000,000 shows the prequarter geology of Europe on the mainland and in the marine areas. In addition to geology, divided by age and rock type, magnetic anomalies, tectonic structures, the continental edge, metamorphoses and — in the marine areas — crust properties are also shown. The map was created under the direction of the BGR and the patronage of the World Map Commission (CGMW) with contributions from 48 European geological services and more than 20 scientific institutions. Detailed information on the "IGME 5000: More than just a map — A multinational GIS Project" can be found on the IGME website. According to the INSPIRE Directive, this database includes the German share.
