Land Map of the Federal Republic of Germany 1:1,000,000 (WMS)

The Web Map Service (WMS) of the BÜK1000 represents nationwide the distribution of soils and their socialisation in a uniform form at the aggregation level of the control soil associations. The map graphics are available in digital form. The text legend, which comprises 71 units of history, contains information on the thoroughness, types of soil, water conditions, starting rocks, as well as guiding and accompanying soils. The parameters of the legend description and the 71 reference profiles (each with 6 on soil shapes and 19 data related to horizons) are stored in a relational database. Version 2.1 is based on the topographical foundations of the Digital Topographic Map 1:1,000,000 (DTK1000-V) of the Federal Office of Cartography and Geodesy, which has been partially modified by the BGR. In order to improve the position accuracy, the geometry of the BÜK1000 was slightly revised on 23.12.2013.
