Overview map Wuppertal 1:40.000 (Raster)

The overview map Wuppertal 1:40.000 (UEK40) is a last updated visualisation of the vector data stock of the Official City Map Wuppertal for the scale range 1:20,000 to 1:40,000. The Wuppertal Official City Map is, in turn, a map of the city of Wuppertal and its surroundings for the scale range 1:10,000 to 1:20,000, run by the City of Wuppertal until the end of 2020. Compared to the grid data of the Official City Map, the UEK40 was adapted to the target scale by the following generalisation measures: thinned card fonts with larger fonts, reduced signature, renunciation of some surface contours and representation of residential areas instead of individual residential buildings. When using the UEK40 as a background map for ground-ris-scatter geodata or position data from satellite navigation systems, due to the generalisation of the underlying official city map, location deviations in the order of 10 meters arise. The Wuppertal Official City Map is a spatial excerpt from a unified urban planning plant, which was managed by many cities and districts on the Rhine and Ruhr as well as the Bergische Land in cooperation with the Ruhr Regional Association (RVR) until the end of 2020. For this purpose, the RVR provided the specialist procedure “Digital Urban Planning Agency Ruhrgebiet” with a central data storage component (geodata server of the RVR). The city of Wuppertal derived from these data as far as an update was necessary in a six-monthly cycle, among other things, raster data of the UEK40, which were used for analogue and digital publications of the data. The now historical grid data from the last revision will be provided to users in 9 tiles depicting 10 km x 10 km in different colours in the format TIFF with World File (TFW) (25 cm x 25 cm when printing in 1:40,000).
