In addition to established content\u2014such as the 3D mesh, terrain relief, and orthophotos\u2014the application now also offers high-resolution oblique aerial imagery. For the first time, this enables a particularly realistic visualization of buildings and streetscapes. These image data layers can be overlaid with various other thematic datasets, such as city trees, zoning plans, municipal boundaries, or property lines.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith the further development of its 3D city map, the City of Chur is strengthening its digital tools and providing the public with modern, easy access to a diverse range of valuable geodata sets. This summer, aerial flights will once again be conducted over the entire built-up area of \u200b\u200bthe City of Chur, including the newly incorporated localities of Praden and Tschiertschen. The Geoinformatics Department plans to make the resulting aerial and oblique imagery publicly available on the new platform, likely in the autumn of 2026.\n\n\n\nAs part of the internal use of PlexMap 3D, particular focus was placed on the detailed modeling of the \"Chur West\" area. Within the framework of a joint project between the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) and the City, a new railway station is being constructed in Chur West, featuring an accessible, multimodal transport hub and public transport connections extending beyond Chur. In addition to traffic-specific and technical facilities, the station is being optimally designed to serve rail, bus, and PostBus services, as well as bicycle and pedestrian traffic, ensuring it can keep pace with the future growth of the Chur West district. Furthermore, an attractive station square featuring a shared-space zone is being created, along with a bicycle station with capacity for 170 bikes.<\/div><\/article>![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.geoplex.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/delmenhorst-cut.png\")

The city borders Bremen to the east and lies approximately 35 kilometers east-southeast of Oldenburg. With around 81,000 inhabitants, Delmenhorst is one of the ten largest cities in Lower Saxony.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo address climate change as a global issue, action must be taken at the local level. The City of Delmenhorst is rising to this challenge by establishing a Solar Energy Register in collaboration with Geoplex.\n\n\n\nA Solar Energy Register from Geoplex supports this initiative by systematically identifying local solar energy potential and effectively raising citizens' awareness regarding the use of solar energy. The Solar Energy Register thus serves as a vital tool for supporting the energy transition at the local level and driving it forward in a systematic manner.

<\/a><\/figure>Green light for solar and green roof register in Wesermarsch<\/h2><\/div><\/div>The district of Wesermarsch is taking another step toward climate protection and energy transition:\n\n\n\nThe new solar and green roof cadastre is now available to all citizens, businesses, and municipalities.\n\n\n\nThe free online tools can be accessed at www.solarkataster-wesermarsch.de and www.gruendachkataster-wesermarsch.de.\n\n\n\n\u201cAnyone who wants to play an active role in shaping the energy transition should start with their own roof. The new cadastre offers citizens an easy way to get an initial assessment of the potential of their own property. With the new geothermal function for geothermal probes and collectors, this technology can also be better evaluated for sustainable energy supply,\u201d explains Matthias Wenholt, First District Councilor. After an initial orientation, further tests, such as the load-bearing capacity of the roof, would then have to be carried out in collaboration with specialist companies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany rooftops in the Wesermarsch district remain unused so far. Yet, they offer enormous potential for energy generation and climate adaptation. With the new cadastre, anyone can now quickly and easily check how the roof area of their property can be used in an economically and ecologically sensible way. The solar cadastre provides detailed information on the suitability of roof surfaces for photovoltaic systems. In addition to the potential electricity yield, it also calculates profitability \u2013 optionally taking into account a power storage unit, an electric vehicle, or a heat pump. The tool also evaluates the potential use for solar thermal energy, i.e., solar water heating to support space heating.\n\n\n\nA particular highlight of the solar cadastre is the new function that shows the suitability for near-surface geothermal energy. When selecting a heat pump, various options (ground, water, or air-source heat pumps) are displayed. This makes it possible to plan customized concepts for renewable energy supply even more precisely.\n\n\n\nIn parallel, the green roof cadastre offers another tool that clearly calculates the benefits and costs of green roofing for individual properties. \u201cA green roof helps improve the urban climate, enhances air quality, and binds CO\u2082. Moreover, in the event of heavy rainfall, it can temporarily store water, thereby relieving stormwater drainage systems. Overall, it makes an important contribution to climate adaptation,\u201d concludes Wenholt.\n\n\n\nQuestions about the solar and green roof cadastre, as well as about energy and climate issues in the district, can be addressed via email at klimaschutz@wesermarsch.de or by phone at 04401 927-632.

As part of the funded project, the historic town centers of Brakel, Detmold, Lemgo, Minden, Rheda-Wiedenbr\u00fcck, and Rietberg will first be captured as high-quality 3D city models. Geoplex will then develop an application-oriented application for each municipality and introduce it together with local stakeholders on site.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe core idea is to use digital technology to map urban development and city marketing, bring historic city centers and town centers to life virtually, involve the urban community, and promote intermunicipal cooperation. To flesh out the project idea, an inter-municipal working group was formed, comprising representatives of the member cities, the geoinformation services of the OWL districts, and scientific partners. Three central guiding principles have emerged to flesh out the project idea. 3D city models are:\n\n\n\n\na learning, sustainable instrument for integrated, inventory-oriented urban development in historic centers,\n\n\n\nan instrument for promoting professional exchange at the regional group and working group level, at the district and regional level, and\n\n\n\nan offering for external platforms to connect data.\n\n\n\n\nSix historic city and town centers in OWL are being modeled in high-performance 3D representations, and the foundations for technical applications in urban planning, construction, and city marketing are being tested. Based on a modular principle, these applications will be made available to other municipalities as optimized and transferable application modules. In addition, they will be effective at the working group level in organizing and promoting the well-known and established exchange between member cities. The 3D models are intended to serve as a regional platform for displaying a wide range of data and information collected regionally in the areas of culture and tourism.\n\n\n\nThe project will run in the innovation phase until the end of 2026.

The aim of this measure is to support the population in expanding PV and solar thermal systems on their rooftops. Since green roof register suitably address the challenges of climate change, a green roof cadastre is also being developed. Even now, the approximately 92,000 residents of the district can look forward to the new applications that will be created in the coming weeks.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA solar energy register from Geoplex helps reveal the local solar potential in a targeted manner and effectively raise public awareness of the use of solar energy. The solar energy register is therefore an important tool for supporting and systematically advancing the energy transition at the local level. You can learn more about solar energy registers here.\n\n\n\nWith a green roof cadastre from Geoplex, homeowners can find out whether a green roof is possible on their house or garage.

The available data includes a Level of Detail 2 (LoD2) 3D city model (both fully textured and untextured), a 3D mesh, a 3D tree cadastre, a high-resolution digital terrain model (DTM), as well as high-resolution true orthophotos and oblique aerial images, all accessible online. Access is barrier-free via common web browsers at 3d.darmstadt.de.\n\n\n\nIn the browser-based application, users can measure distances and areas, simulate shadows, analyze visibility, share custom views, and export screenshots as PDF files. An integrated address search makes navigation easier.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d supports urban planning, construction projects, and various municipal analyses. The model provides a foundation for simulations and assessments\u2014on topics such as urban development, climate risks, or infrastructure\u2014and offers planners, administrators, and the public precise insights into spatial relationships. \u201cAt the same time, it promotes transparency and citizen participation by presenting complex processes in a clear and comprehensible way,\u201d says Councillor Paul Georg Wandrey.\n\n\n\nOne initial application example is the heavy rainfall hazard map, developed on behalf of the Office for Climate Protection and Climate Adaptation and additionally available at 3d.darmstadt.de\/v\/Starkregen.\n\n\n\nIn the long term, \u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d will form the structural basis for an Urban Digital Twin (UDT), enabling the integration of diverse data sources\u2014such as climate events, mobility, or energy demand\u2014and making urban interrelationships visible. The UDT will thus support decision-making in administration and politics.\n\n\n\n\u201cWith \u2018Darmstadt 3D\u2019 we now have a modern, precise, and highly detailed tool that allows us to experience our city from a completely new perspective. This model demonstrates the potential that digital technologies offer for innovative urban development. This further step towards an Urban Digital Twin is an important milestone for Darmstadt. It enables us to plan more accurately, better respond to future hazard situations, and make our city an even more livable place for its residents,\u201d Wandrey says.<\/div><\/article><\/figure>The municipality of Langenberg relies on PlexMap Immo<\/h2><\/div><\/div>In October 2024, pro Wirtschaft GT GmbH launched PlexMap Immo, a central portal for marketing commercial properties and real estate, supporting entrepreneurs in their search for locations in the G\u00fctersloh district.

The new cadastre offers citizens an easy way to get an initial assessment of the potential of their own property. With the new geothermal function for geothermal probes and collectors, this technology can also be better evaluated for sustainable energy supply,\u201d explains Matthias Wenholt, First District Councilor. After an initial orientation, further tests, such as the load-bearing capacity of the roof, would then have to be carried out in collaboration with specialist companies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany rooftops in the Wesermarsch district remain unused so far. Yet, they offer enormous potential for energy generation and climate adaptation. With the new cadastre, anyone can now quickly and easily check how the roof area of their property can be used in an economically and ecologically sensible way. The solar cadastre provides detailed information on the suitability of roof surfaces for photovoltaic systems. In addition to the potential electricity yield, it also calculates profitability \u2013 optionally taking into account a power storage unit, an electric vehicle, or a heat pump. The tool also evaluates the potential use for solar thermal energy, i.e., solar water heating to support space heating.\n\n\n\nA particular highlight of the solar cadastre is the new function that shows the suitability for near-surface geothermal energy. When selecting a heat pump, various options (ground, water, or air-source heat pumps) are displayed. This makes it possible to plan customized concepts for renewable energy supply even more precisely.\n\n\n\nIn parallel, the green roof cadastre offers another tool that clearly calculates the benefits and costs of green roofing for individual properties. \u201cA green roof helps improve the urban climate, enhances air quality, and binds CO\u2082. Moreover, in the event of heavy rainfall, it can temporarily store water, thereby relieving stormwater drainage systems. Overall, it makes an important contribution to climate adaptation,\u201d concludes Wenholt.\n\n\n\nQuestions about the solar and green roof cadastre, as well as about energy and climate issues in the district, can be addressed via email at klimaschutz@wesermarsch.de or by phone at 04401 927-632.

The new cadastre offers citizens an easy way to get an initial assessment of the potential of their own property. With the new geothermal function for geothermal probes and collectors, this technology can also be better evaluated for sustainable energy supply,\u201d explains Matthias Wenholt, First District Councilor. After an initial orientation, further tests, such as the load-bearing capacity of the roof, would then have to be carried out in collaboration with specialist companies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany rooftops in the Wesermarsch district remain unused so far. Yet, they offer enormous potential for energy generation and climate adaptation. With the new cadastre, anyone can now quickly and easily check how the roof area of their property can be used in an economically and ecologically sensible way. The solar cadastre provides detailed information on the suitability of roof surfaces for photovoltaic systems. In addition to the potential electricity yield, it also calculates profitability \u2013 optionally taking into account a power storage unit, an electric vehicle, or a heat pump. The tool also evaluates the potential use for solar thermal energy, i.e., solar water heating to support space heating.\n\n\n\nA particular highlight of the solar cadastre is the new function that shows the suitability for near-surface geothermal energy. When selecting a heat pump, various options (ground, water, or air-source heat pumps) are displayed. This makes it possible to plan customized concepts for renewable energy supply even more precisely.\n\n\n\nIn parallel, the green roof cadastre offers another tool that clearly calculates the benefits and costs of green roofing for individual properties. \u201cA green roof helps improve the urban climate, enhances air quality, and binds CO\u2082. Moreover, in the event of heavy rainfall, it can temporarily store water, thereby relieving stormwater drainage systems. Overall, it makes an important contribution to climate adaptation,\u201d concludes Wenholt.\n\n\n\nQuestions about the solar and green roof cadastre, as well as about energy and climate issues in the district, can be addressed via email at klimaschutz@wesermarsch.de or by phone at 04401 927-632.

As part of the funded project, the historic town centers of Brakel, Detmold, Lemgo, Minden, Rheda-Wiedenbr\u00fcck, and Rietberg will first be captured as high-quality 3D city models. Geoplex will then develop an application-oriented application for each municipality and introduce it together with local stakeholders on site.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe core idea is to use digital technology to map urban development and city marketing, bring historic city centers and town centers to life virtually, involve the urban community, and promote intermunicipal cooperation. To flesh out the project idea, an inter-municipal working group was formed, comprising representatives of the member cities, the geoinformation services of the OWL districts, and scientific partners. Three central guiding principles have emerged to flesh out the project idea. 3D city models are:\n\n\n\n\na learning, sustainable instrument for integrated, inventory-oriented urban development in historic centers,\n\n\n\nan instrument for promoting professional exchange at the regional group and working group level, at the district and regional level, and\n\n\n\nan offering for external platforms to connect data.\n\n\n\n\nSix historic city and town centers in OWL are being modeled in high-performance 3D representations, and the foundations for technical applications in urban planning, construction, and city marketing are being tested. Based on a modular principle, these applications will be made available to other municipalities as optimized and transferable application modules. In addition, they will be effective at the working group level in organizing and promoting the well-known and established exchange between member cities. The 3D models are intended to serve as a regional platform for displaying a wide range of data and information collected regionally in the areas of culture and tourism.\n\n\n\nThe project will run in the innovation phase until the end of 2026.

After an initial orientation, further tests, such as the load-bearing capacity of the roof, would then have to be carried out in collaboration with specialist companies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany rooftops in the Wesermarsch district remain unused so far. Yet, they offer enormous potential for energy generation and climate adaptation. With the new cadastre, anyone can now quickly and easily check how the roof area of their property can be used in an economically and ecologically sensible way. The solar cadastre provides detailed information on the suitability of roof surfaces for photovoltaic systems. In addition to the potential electricity yield, it also calculates profitability \u2013 optionally taking into account a power storage unit, an electric vehicle, or a heat pump. The tool also evaluates the potential use for solar thermal energy, i.e., solar water heating to support space heating.\n\n\n\nA particular highlight of the solar cadastre is the new function that shows the suitability for near-surface geothermal energy. When selecting a heat pump, various options (ground, water, or air-source heat pumps) are displayed. This makes it possible to plan customized concepts for renewable energy supply even more precisely.\n\n\n\nIn parallel, the green roof cadastre offers another tool that clearly calculates the benefits and costs of green roofing for individual properties. \u201cA green roof helps improve the urban climate, enhances air quality, and binds CO\u2082. Moreover, in the event of heavy rainfall, it can temporarily store water, thereby relieving stormwater drainage systems. Overall, it makes an important contribution to climate adaptation,\u201d concludes Wenholt.\n\n\n\nQuestions about the solar and green roof cadastre, as well as about energy and climate issues in the district, can be addressed via email at klimaschutz@wesermarsch.de or by phone at 04401 927-632.

To flesh out the project idea, an inter-municipal working group was formed, comprising representatives of the member cities, the geoinformation services of the OWL districts, and scientific partners. Three central guiding principles have emerged to flesh out the project idea. 3D city models are:\n\n\n\n\na learning, sustainable instrument for integrated, inventory-oriented urban development in historic centers,\n\n\n\nan instrument for promoting professional exchange at the regional group and working group level, at the district and regional level, and\n\n\n\nan offering for external platforms to connect data.\n\n\n\n\nSix historic city and town centers in OWL are being modeled in high-performance 3D representations, and the foundations for technical applications in urban planning, construction, and city marketing are being tested. Based on a modular principle, these applications will be made available to other municipalities as optimized and transferable application modules. In addition, they will be effective at the working group level in organizing and promoting the well-known and established exchange between member cities. The 3D models are intended to serve as a regional platform for displaying a wide range of data and information collected regionally in the areas of culture and tourism.\n\n\n\nThe project will run in the innovation phase until the end of 2026.

The new cadastre offers citizens an easy way to get an initial assessment of the potential of their own property. With the new geothermal function for geothermal probes and collectors, this technology can also be better evaluated for sustainable energy supply,\u201d explains Matthias Wenholt, First District Councilor. After an initial orientation, further tests, such as the load-bearing capacity of the roof, would then have to be carried out in collaboration with specialist companies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany rooftops in the Wesermarsch district remain unused so far. Yet, they offer enormous potential for energy generation and climate adaptation. With the new cadastre, anyone can now quickly and easily check how the roof area of their property can be used in an economically and ecologically sensible way. The solar cadastre provides detailed information on the suitability of roof surfaces for photovoltaic systems. In addition to the potential electricity yield, it also calculates profitability \u2013 optionally taking into account a power storage unit, an electric vehicle, or a heat pump. The tool also evaluates the potential use for solar thermal energy, i.e., solar water heating to support space heating.\n\n\n\nA particular highlight of the solar cadastre is the new function that shows the suitability for near-surface geothermal energy. When selecting a heat pump, various options (ground, water, or air-source heat pumps) are displayed. This makes it possible to plan customized concepts for renewable energy supply even more precisely.\n\n\n\nIn parallel, the green roof cadastre offers another tool that clearly calculates the benefits and costs of green roofing for individual properties. \u201cA green roof helps improve the urban climate, enhances air quality, and binds CO\u2082. Moreover, in the event of heavy rainfall, it can temporarily store water, thereby relieving stormwater drainage systems. Overall, it makes an important contribution to climate adaptation,\u201d concludes Wenholt.\n\n\n\nQuestions about the solar and green roof cadastre, as well as about energy and climate issues in the district, can be addressed via email at klimaschutz@wesermarsch.de or by phone at 04401 927-632.

To flesh out the project idea, an inter-municipal working group was formed, comprising representatives of the member cities, the geoinformation services of the OWL districts, and scientific partners. Three central guiding principles have emerged to flesh out the project idea. 3D city models are:\n\n\n\n\na learning, sustainable instrument for integrated, inventory-oriented urban development in historic centers,\n\n\n\nan instrument for promoting professional exchange at the regional group and working group level, at the district and regional level, and\n\n\n\nan offering for external platforms to connect data.\n\n\n\n\nSix historic city and town centers in OWL are being modeled in high-performance 3D representations, and the foundations for technical applications in urban planning, construction, and city marketing are being tested. Based on a modular principle, these applications will be made available to other municipalities as optimized and transferable application modules. In addition, they will be effective at the working group level in organizing and promoting the well-known and established exchange between member cities. The 3D models are intended to serve as a regional platform for displaying a wide range of data and information collected regionally in the areas of culture and tourism.\n\n\n\nThe project will run in the innovation phase until the end of 2026.

The aim of this measure is to support the population in expanding PV and solar thermal systems on their rooftops. Since green roof register suitably address the challenges of climate change, a green roof cadastre is also being developed. Even now, the approximately 92,000 residents of the district can look forward to the new applications that will be created in the coming weeks.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA solar energy register from Geoplex helps reveal the local solar potential in a targeted manner and effectively raise public awareness of the use of solar energy. The solar energy register is therefore an important tool for supporting and systematically advancing the energy transition at the local level. You can learn more about solar energy registers here.\n\n\n\nWith a green roof cadastre from Geoplex, homeowners can find out whether a green roof is possible on their house or garage. Based on the automatically detected roof sections of a building, each section is computationally assessed for its suitability for a green roof.

The available data includes a Level of Detail 2 (LoD2) 3D city model (both fully textured and untextured), a 3D mesh, a 3D tree cadastre, a high-resolution digital terrain model (DTM), as well as high-resolution true orthophotos and oblique aerial images, all accessible online. Access is barrier-free via common web browsers at 3d.darmstadt.de.\n\n\n\nIn the browser-based application, users can measure distances and areas, simulate shadows, analyze visibility, share custom views, and export screenshots as PDF files. An integrated address search makes navigation easier.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d supports urban planning, construction projects, and various municipal analyses. The model provides a foundation for simulations and assessments\u2014on topics such as urban development, climate risks, or infrastructure\u2014and offers planners, administrators, and the public precise insights into spatial relationships. \u201cAt the same time, it promotes transparency and citizen participation by presenting complex processes in a clear and comprehensible way,\u201d says Councillor Paul Georg Wandrey.\n\n\n\nOne initial application example is the heavy rainfall hazard map, developed on behalf of the Office for Climate Protection and Climate Adaptation and additionally available at 3d.darmstadt.de\/v\/Starkregen.\n\n\n\nIn the long term, \u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d will form the structural basis for an Urban Digital Twin (UDT), enabling the integration of diverse data sources\u2014such as climate events, mobility, or energy demand\u2014and making urban interrelationships visible. The UDT will thus support decision-making in administration and politics.\n\n\n\n\u201cWith \u2018Darmstadt 3D\u2019 we now have a modern, precise, and highly detailed tool that allows us to experience our city from a completely new perspective. This model demonstrates the potential that digital technologies offer for innovative urban development. This further step towards an Urban Digital Twin is an important milestone for Darmstadt. It enables us to plan more accurately, better respond to future hazard situations, and make our city an even more livable place for its residents,\u201d Wandrey says.<\/div><\/article><\/figure>The municipality of Langenberg relies on PlexMap Immo<\/h2><\/div><\/div>In October 2024, pro Wirtschaft GT GmbH launched PlexMap Immo, a central portal for marketing commercial properties and real estate, supporting entrepreneurs in their search for locations in the G\u00fctersloh district.

The new cadastre offers citizens an easy way to get an initial assessment of the potential of their own property. With the new geothermal function for geothermal probes and collectors, this technology can also be better evaluated for sustainable energy supply,\u201d explains Matthias Wenholt, First District Councilor. After an initial orientation, further tests, such as the load-bearing capacity of the roof, would then have to be carried out in collaboration with specialist companies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany rooftops in the Wesermarsch district remain unused so far. Yet, they offer enormous potential for energy generation and climate adaptation. With the new cadastre, anyone can now quickly and easily check how the roof area of their property can be used in an economically and ecologically sensible way. The solar cadastre provides detailed information on the suitability of roof surfaces for photovoltaic systems. In addition to the potential electricity yield, it also calculates profitability \u2013 optionally taking into account a power storage unit, an electric vehicle, or a heat pump. The tool also evaluates the potential use for solar thermal energy, i.e., solar water heating to support space heating.\n\n\n\nA particular highlight of the solar cadastre is the new function that shows the suitability for near-surface geothermal energy. When selecting a heat pump, various options (ground, water, or air-source heat pumps) are displayed. This makes it possible to plan customized concepts for renewable energy supply even more precisely.\n\n\n\nIn parallel, the green roof cadastre offers another tool that clearly calculates the benefits and costs of green roofing for individual properties. \u201cA green roof helps improve the urban climate, enhances air quality, and binds CO\u2082. Moreover, in the event of heavy rainfall, it can temporarily store water, thereby relieving stormwater drainage systems. Overall, it makes an important contribution to climate adaptation,\u201d concludes Wenholt.\n\n\n\nQuestions about the solar and green roof cadastre, as well as about energy and climate issues in the district, can be addressed via email at klimaschutz@wesermarsch.de or by phone at 04401 927-632.

To flesh out the project idea, an inter-municipal working group was formed, comprising representatives of the member cities, the geoinformation services of the OWL districts, and scientific partners. Three central guiding principles have emerged to flesh out the project idea. 3D city models are:\n\n\n\n\na learning, sustainable instrument for integrated, inventory-oriented urban development in historic centers,\n\n\n\nan instrument for promoting professional exchange at the regional group and working group level, at the district and regional level, and\n\n\n\nan offering for external platforms to connect data.\n\n\n\n\nSix historic city and town centers in OWL are being modeled in high-performance 3D representations, and the foundations for technical applications in urban planning, construction, and city marketing are being tested. Based on a modular principle, these applications will be made available to other municipalities as optimized and transferable application modules. In addition, they will be effective at the working group level in organizing and promoting the well-known and established exchange between member cities. The 3D models are intended to serve as a regional platform for displaying a wide range of data and information collected regionally in the areas of culture and tourism.\n\n\n\nThe project will run in the innovation phase until the end of 2026.

It is located on the Alpine Rhine and is the seat of the Diocese of Chur. Chur is considered the oldest city in Switzerland, with over 5,000 years of documented settlement history and a remarkably well-preserved, car-free old town. In addition, it serves as an important starting point for major Alpine regions and famous panoramic railway routes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe city of Chur aims to visualize its own 3D city model (3D mesh and CityGML) using PlexMap 3D. In addition, the PlexMap Planner will be used to develop a tool for integrating and visualizing the city\u2019s own urban development projects and designs. Chur will also use PlexMap Oblique to display its own oblique aerial images.\n\n\n\nA particular focus is on the detailed development of the \u201cChur West\u201d area. As part of a joint project between the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) and the city, a new station is being built in Chur West, featuring a barrier-free, multimodal transport hub with public transport connections extending beyond Chur. In addition to transport-specific and technical facilities, the station will be optimally accessible for trains, buses, PostAuto services, as well as bicycle and pedestrian traffic, to keep pace with the future growth of the Chur West district. An attractive station square with a public meeting area and a bicycle station for 170 bikes will also be created.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto: View of Chur in June 2010. Author:\u00a0Adrian Michael.

The available data includes a Level of Detail 2 (LoD2) 3D city model (both fully textured and untextured), a 3D mesh, a 3D tree cadastre, a high-resolution digital terrain model (DTM), as well as high-resolution true orthophotos and oblique aerial images, all accessible online. Access is barrier-free via common web browsers at 3d.darmstadt.de.\n\n\n\nIn the browser-based application, users can measure distances and areas, simulate shadows, analyze visibility, share custom views, and export screenshots as PDF files. An integrated address search makes navigation easier.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d supports urban planning, construction projects, and various municipal analyses. The model provides a foundation for simulations and assessments\u2014on topics such as urban development, climate risks, or infrastructure\u2014and offers planners, administrators, and the public precise insights into spatial relationships. \u201cAt the same time, it promotes transparency and citizen participation by presenting complex processes in a clear and comprehensible way,\u201d says Councillor Paul Georg Wandrey.\n\n\n\nOne initial application example is the heavy rainfall hazard map, developed on behalf of the Office for Climate Protection and Climate Adaptation and additionally available at 3d.darmstadt.de\/v\/Starkregen.\n\n\n\nIn the long term, \u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d will form the structural basis for an Urban Digital Twin (UDT), enabling the integration of diverse data sources\u2014such as climate events, mobility, or energy demand\u2014and making urban interrelationships visible. The UDT will thus support decision-making in administration and politics.\n\n\n\n\u201cWith \u2018Darmstadt 3D\u2019 we now have a modern, precise, and highly detailed tool that allows us to experience our city from a completely new perspective. This model demonstrates the potential that digital technologies offer for innovative urban development. This further step towards an Urban Digital Twin is an important milestone for Darmstadt. It enables us to plan more accurately, better respond to future hazard situations, and make our city an even more livable place for its residents,\u201d Wandrey says.<\/div><\/article><\/figure>The municipality of Langenberg relies on PlexMap Immo<\/h2><\/div><\/div>In October 2024, pro Wirtschaft GT GmbH launched PlexMap Immo, a central portal for marketing commercial properties and real estate, supporting entrepreneurs in their search for locations in the G\u00fctersloh district.

The new cadastre offers citizens an easy way to get an initial assessment of the potential of their own property. With the new geothermal function for geothermal probes and collectors, this technology can also be better evaluated for sustainable energy supply,\u201d explains Matthias Wenholt, First District Councilor. After an initial orientation, further tests, such as the load-bearing capacity of the roof, would then have to be carried out in collaboration with specialist companies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany rooftops in the Wesermarsch district remain unused so far. Yet, they offer enormous potential for energy generation and climate adaptation. With the new cadastre, anyone can now quickly and easily check how the roof area of their property can be used in an economically and ecologically sensible way. The solar cadastre provides detailed information on the suitability of roof surfaces for photovoltaic systems. In addition to the potential electricity yield, it also calculates profitability \u2013 optionally taking into account a power storage unit, an electric vehicle, or a heat pump. The tool also evaluates the potential use for solar thermal energy, i.e., solar water heating to support space heating.\n\n\n\nA particular highlight of the solar cadastre is the new function that shows the suitability for near-surface geothermal energy. When selecting a heat pump, various options (ground, water, or air-source heat pumps) are displayed. This makes it possible to plan customized concepts for renewable energy supply even more precisely.\n\n\n\nIn parallel, the green roof cadastre offers another tool that clearly calculates the benefits and costs of green roofing for individual properties. \u201cA green roof helps improve the urban climate, enhances air quality, and binds CO\u2082. Moreover, in the event of heavy rainfall, it can temporarily store water, thereby relieving stormwater drainage systems. Overall, it makes an important contribution to climate adaptation,\u201d concludes Wenholt.\n\n\n\nQuestions about the solar and green roof cadastre, as well as about energy and climate issues in the district, can be addressed via email at klimaschutz@wesermarsch.de or by phone at 04401 927-632.

It is located on the Alpine Rhine and is the seat of the Diocese of Chur. Chur is considered the oldest city in Switzerland, with over 5,000 years of documented settlement history and a remarkably well-preserved, car-free old town. In addition, it serves as an important starting point for major Alpine regions and famous panoramic railway routes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe city of Chur aims to visualize its own 3D city model (3D mesh and CityGML) using PlexMap 3D. In addition, the PlexMap Planner will be used to develop a tool for integrating and visualizing the city\u2019s own urban development projects and designs. Chur will also use PlexMap Oblique to display its own oblique aerial images.\n\n\n\nA particular focus is on the detailed development of the \u201cChur West\u201d area. As part of a joint project between the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) and the city, a new station is being built in Chur West, featuring a barrier-free, multimodal transport hub with public transport connections extending beyond Chur. In addition to transport-specific and technical facilities, the station will be optimally accessible for trains, buses, PostAuto services, as well as bicycle and pedestrian traffic, to keep pace with the future growth of the Chur West district. An attractive station square with a public meeting area and a bicycle station for 170 bikes will also be created.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto: View of Chur in June 2010. Author:\u00a0Adrian Michael.

The available data includes a Level of Detail 2 (LoD2) 3D city model (both fully textured and untextured), a 3D mesh, a 3D tree cadastre, a high-resolution digital terrain model (DTM), as well as high-resolution true orthophotos and oblique aerial images, all accessible online. Access is barrier-free via common web browsers at 3d.darmstadt.de.\n\n\n\nIn the browser-based application, users can measure distances and areas, simulate shadows, analyze visibility, share custom views, and export screenshots as PDF files. An integrated address search makes navigation easier.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d supports urban planning, construction projects, and various municipal analyses. The model provides a foundation for simulations and assessments\u2014on topics such as urban development, climate risks, or infrastructure\u2014and offers planners, administrators, and the public precise insights into spatial relationships. \u201cAt the same time, it promotes transparency and citizen participation by presenting complex processes in a clear and comprehensible way,\u201d says Councillor Paul Georg Wandrey.\n\n\n\nOne initial application example is the heavy rainfall hazard map, developed on behalf of the Office for Climate Protection and Climate Adaptation and additionally available at 3d.darmstadt.de\/v\/Starkregen.\n\n\n\nIn the long term, \u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d will form the structural basis for an Urban Digital Twin (UDT), enabling the integration of diverse data sources\u2014such as climate events, mobility, or energy demand\u2014and making urban interrelationships visible. The UDT will thus support decision-making in administration and politics.\n\n\n\n\u201cWith \u2018Darmstadt 3D\u2019 we now have a modern, precise, and highly detailed tool that allows us to experience our city from a completely new perspective. This model demonstrates the potential that digital technologies offer for innovative urban development. This further step towards an Urban Digital Twin is an important milestone for Darmstadt. It enables us to plan more accurately, better respond to future hazard situations, and make our city an even more livable place for its residents,\u201d Wandrey says.<\/div><\/article><\/figure>The municipality of Langenberg relies on PlexMap Immo<\/h2><\/div><\/div>In October 2024, pro Wirtschaft GT GmbH launched PlexMap Immo, a central portal for marketing commercial properties and real estate, supporting entrepreneurs in their search for locations in the G\u00fctersloh district.

The new cadastre offers citizens an easy way to get an initial assessment of the potential of their own property. With the new geothermal function for geothermal probes and collectors, this technology can also be better evaluated for sustainable energy supply,\u201d explains Matthias Wenholt, First District Councilor. After an initial orientation, further tests, such as the load-bearing capacity of the roof, would then have to be carried out in collaboration with specialist companies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany rooftops in the Wesermarsch district remain unused so far. Yet, they offer enormous potential for energy generation and climate adaptation. With the new cadastre, anyone can now quickly and easily check how the roof area of their property can be used in an economically and ecologically sensible way. The solar cadastre provides detailed information on the suitability of roof surfaces for photovoltaic systems. In addition to the potential electricity yield, it also calculates profitability \u2013 optionally taking into account a power storage unit, an electric vehicle, or a heat pump. The tool also evaluates the potential use for solar thermal energy, i.e., solar water heating to support space heating.\n\n\n\nA particular highlight of the solar cadastre is the new function that shows the suitability for near-surface geothermal energy. When selecting a heat pump, various options (ground, water, or air-source heat pumps) are displayed. This makes it possible to plan customized concepts for renewable energy supply even more precisely.\n\n\n\nIn parallel, the green roof cadastre offers another tool that clearly calculates the benefits and costs of green roofing for individual properties. \u201cA green roof helps improve the urban climate, enhances air quality, and binds CO\u2082. Moreover, in the event of heavy rainfall, it can temporarily store water, thereby relieving stormwater drainage systems. Overall, it makes an important contribution to climate adaptation,\u201d concludes Wenholt.\n\n\n\nQuestions about the solar and green roof cadastre, as well as about energy and climate issues in the district, can be addressed via email at klimaschutz@wesermarsch.de or by phone at 04401 927-632.

To flesh out the project idea, an inter-municipal working group was formed, comprising representatives of the member cities, the geoinformation services of the OWL districts, and scientific partners. Three central guiding principles have emerged to flesh out the project idea. 3D city models are:\n\n\n\n\na learning, sustainable instrument for integrated, inventory-oriented urban development in historic centers,\n\n\n\nan instrument for promoting professional exchange at the regional group and working group level, at the district and regional level, and\n\n\n\nan offering for external platforms to connect data.\n\n\n\n\nSix historic city and town centers in OWL are being modeled in high-performance 3D representations, and the foundations for technical applications in urban planning, construction, and city marketing are being tested. Based on a modular principle, these applications will be made available to other municipalities as optimized and transferable application modules. In addition, they will be effective at the working group level in organizing and promoting the well-known and established exchange between member cities. The 3D models are intended to serve as a regional platform for displaying a wide range of data and information collected regionally in the areas of culture and tourism.\n\n\n\nThe project will run in the innovation phase until the end of 2026.

It is located on the Alpine Rhine and is the seat of the Diocese of Chur. Chur is considered the oldest city in Switzerland, with over 5,000 years of documented settlement history and a remarkably well-preserved, car-free old town. In addition, it serves as an important starting point for major Alpine regions and famous panoramic railway routes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe city of Chur aims to visualize its own 3D city model (3D mesh and CityGML) using PlexMap 3D. In addition, the PlexMap Planner will be used to develop a tool for integrating and visualizing the city\u2019s own urban development projects and designs. Chur will also use PlexMap Oblique to display its own oblique aerial images.\n\n\n\nA particular focus is on the detailed development of the \u201cChur West\u201d area. As part of a joint project between the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) and the city, a new station is being built in Chur West, featuring a barrier-free, multimodal transport hub with public transport connections extending beyond Chur. In addition to transport-specific and technical facilities, the station will be optimally accessible for trains, buses, PostAuto services, as well as bicycle and pedestrian traffic, to keep pace with the future growth of the Chur West district. An attractive station square with a public meeting area and a bicycle station for 170 bikes will also be created.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto: View of Chur in June 2010. Author:\u00a0Adrian Michael.

First mentioned in 770, the town was once an Imperial City and later belonged to the Electoral Palatinate for many centuries. After Weinheim, it is the second-largest city in the Rhein-Neckar District and serves as a mid-sized regional center within the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region. Since January 1, 1973, Sinsheim has held the status of a major district town.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe City of Sinsheim aims to establish a central data hub using the PlexMap Magazine and the PlexMap Switchboard, and will also rely on PlexMap for its own CityGML data management. In addition, PlexMap 3D will be used for viewing purposes.

The aim of this measure is to support the population in expanding PV and solar thermal systems on their rooftops. Since green roof register suitably address the challenges of climate change, a green roof cadastre is also being developed. Even now, the approximately 92,000 residents of the district can look forward to the new applications that will be created in the coming weeks.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA solar energy register from Geoplex helps reveal the local solar potential in a targeted manner and effectively raise public awareness of the use of solar energy. The solar energy register is therefore an important tool for supporting and systematically advancing the energy transition at the local level. You can learn more about solar energy registers here.\n\n\n\nWith a green roof cadastre from Geoplex, homeowners can find out whether a green roof is possible on their house or garage. Based on the automatically detected roof sections of a building, each section is computationally assessed for its suitability for a green roof.

The available data includes a Level of Detail 2 (LoD2) 3D city model (both fully textured and untextured), a 3D mesh, a 3D tree cadastre, a high-resolution digital terrain model (DTM), as well as high-resolution true orthophotos and oblique aerial images, all accessible online. Access is barrier-free via common web browsers at 3d.darmstadt.de.\n\n\n\nIn the browser-based application, users can measure distances and areas, simulate shadows, analyze visibility, share custom views, and export screenshots as PDF files. An integrated address search makes navigation easier.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d supports urban planning, construction projects, and various municipal analyses. The model provides a foundation for simulations and assessments\u2014on topics such as urban development, climate risks, or infrastructure\u2014and offers planners, administrators, and the public precise insights into spatial relationships. \u201cAt the same time, it promotes transparency and citizen participation by presenting complex processes in a clear and comprehensible way,\u201d says Councillor Paul Georg Wandrey.\n\n\n\nOne initial application example is the heavy rainfall hazard map, developed on behalf of the Office for Climate Protection and Climate Adaptation and additionally available at 3d.darmstadt.de\/v\/Starkregen.\n\n\n\nIn the long term, \u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d will form the structural basis for an Urban Digital Twin (UDT), enabling the integration of diverse data sources\u2014such as climate events, mobility, or energy demand\u2014and making urban interrelationships visible. The UDT will thus support decision-making in administration and politics.\n\n\n\n\u201cWith \u2018Darmstadt 3D\u2019 we now have a modern, precise, and highly detailed tool that allows us to experience our city from a completely new perspective. This model demonstrates the potential that digital technologies offer for innovative urban development. This further step towards an Urban Digital Twin is an important milestone for Darmstadt. It enables us to plan more accurately, better respond to future hazard situations, and make our city an even more livable place for its residents,\u201d Wandrey says.<\/div><\/article><\/figure>The municipality of Langenberg relies on PlexMap Immo<\/h2><\/div><\/div>In October 2024, pro Wirtschaft GT GmbH launched PlexMap Immo, a central portal for marketing commercial properties and real estate, supporting entrepreneurs in their search for locations in the G\u00fctersloh district.

The new cadastre offers citizens an easy way to get an initial assessment of the potential of their own property. With the new geothermal function for geothermal probes and collectors, this technology can also be better evaluated for sustainable energy supply,\u201d explains Matthias Wenholt, First District Councilor. After an initial orientation, further tests, such as the load-bearing capacity of the roof, would then have to be carried out in collaboration with specialist companies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany rooftops in the Wesermarsch district remain unused so far. Yet, they offer enormous potential for energy generation and climate adaptation. With the new cadastre, anyone can now quickly and easily check how the roof area of their property can be used in an economically and ecologically sensible way. The solar cadastre provides detailed information on the suitability of roof surfaces for photovoltaic systems. In addition to the potential electricity yield, it also calculates profitability \u2013 optionally taking into account a power storage unit, an electric vehicle, or a heat pump. The tool also evaluates the potential use for solar thermal energy, i.e., solar water heating to support space heating.\n\n\n\nA particular highlight of the solar cadastre is the new function that shows the suitability for near-surface geothermal energy. When selecting a heat pump, various options (ground, water, or air-source heat pumps) are displayed. This makes it possible to plan customized concepts for renewable energy supply even more precisely.\n\n\n\nIn parallel, the green roof cadastre offers another tool that clearly calculates the benefits and costs of green roofing for individual properties. \u201cA green roof helps improve the urban climate, enhances air quality, and binds CO\u2082. Moreover, in the event of heavy rainfall, it can temporarily store water, thereby relieving stormwater drainage systems. Overall, it makes an important contribution to climate adaptation,\u201d concludes Wenholt.\n\n\n\nQuestions about the solar and green roof cadastre, as well as about energy and climate issues in the district, can be addressed via email at klimaschutz@wesermarsch.de or by phone at 04401 927-632.

Three central guiding principles have emerged to flesh out the project idea. 3D city models are:\n\n\n\n\na learning, sustainable instrument for integrated, inventory-oriented urban development in historic centers,\n\n\n\nan instrument for promoting professional exchange at the regional group and working group level, at the district and regional level, and\n\n\n\nan offering for external platforms to connect data.\n\n\n\n\nSix historic city and town centers in OWL are being modeled in high-performance 3D representations, and the foundations for technical applications in urban planning, construction, and city marketing are being tested. Based on a modular principle, these applications will be made available to other municipalities as optimized and transferable application modules. In addition, they will be effective at the working group level in organizing and promoting the well-known and established exchange between member cities. The 3D models are intended to serve as a regional platform for displaying a wide range of data and information collected regionally in the areas of culture and tourism.\n\n\n\nThe project will run in the innovation phase until the end of 2026.

The available data includes a Level of Detail 2 (LoD2) 3D city model (both fully textured and untextured), a 3D mesh, a 3D tree cadastre, a high-resolution digital terrain model (DTM), as well as high-resolution true orthophotos and oblique aerial images, all accessible online. Access is barrier-free via common web browsers at 3d.darmstadt.de.\n\n\n\nIn the browser-based application, users can measure distances and areas, simulate shadows, analyze visibility, share custom views, and export screenshots as PDF files. An integrated address search makes navigation easier.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d supports urban planning, construction projects, and various municipal analyses. The model provides a foundation for simulations and assessments\u2014on topics such as urban development, climate risks, or infrastructure\u2014and offers planners, administrators, and the public precise insights into spatial relationships. \u201cAt the same time, it promotes transparency and citizen participation by presenting complex processes in a clear and comprehensible way,\u201d says Councillor Paul Georg Wandrey.\n\n\n\nOne initial application example is the heavy rainfall hazard map, developed on behalf of the Office for Climate Protection and Climate Adaptation and additionally available at 3d.darmstadt.de\/v\/Starkregen.\n\n\n\nIn the long term, \u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d will form the structural basis for an Urban Digital Twin (UDT), enabling the integration of diverse data sources\u2014such as climate events, mobility, or energy demand\u2014and making urban interrelationships visible. The UDT will thus support decision-making in administration and politics.\n\n\n\n\u201cWith \u2018Darmstadt 3D\u2019 we now have a modern, precise, and highly detailed tool that allows us to experience our city from a completely new perspective. This model demonstrates the potential that digital technologies offer for innovative urban development. This further step towards an Urban Digital Twin is an important milestone for Darmstadt.

The new cadastre offers citizens an easy way to get an initial assessment of the potential of their own property. With the new geothermal function for geothermal probes and collectors, this technology can also be better evaluated for sustainable energy supply,\u201d explains Matthias Wenholt, First District Councilor. After an initial orientation, further tests, such as the load-bearing capacity of the roof, would then have to be carried out in collaboration with specialist companies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany rooftops in the Wesermarsch district remain unused so far. Yet, they offer enormous potential for energy generation and climate adaptation. With the new cadastre, anyone can now quickly and easily check how the roof area of their property can be used in an economically and ecologically sensible way. The solar cadastre provides detailed information on the suitability of roof surfaces for photovoltaic systems. In addition to the potential electricity yield, it also calculates profitability \u2013 optionally taking into account a power storage unit, an electric vehicle, or a heat pump. The tool also evaluates the potential use for solar thermal energy, i.e., solar water heating to support space heating.\n\n\n\nA particular highlight of the solar cadastre is the new function that shows the suitability for near-surface geothermal energy. When selecting a heat pump, various options (ground, water, or air-source heat pumps) are displayed. This makes it possible to plan customized concepts for renewable energy supply even more precisely.\n\n\n\nIn parallel, the green roof cadastre offers another tool that clearly calculates the benefits and costs of green roofing for individual properties. \u201cA green roof helps improve the urban climate, enhances air quality, and binds CO\u2082. Moreover, in the event of heavy rainfall, it can temporarily store water, thereby relieving stormwater drainage systems. Overall, it makes an important contribution to climate adaptation,\u201d concludes Wenholt.\n\n\n\nQuestions about the solar and green roof cadastre, as well as about energy and climate issues in the district, can be addressed via email at klimaschutz@wesermarsch.de or by phone at 04401 927-632.

The available data includes a Level of Detail 2 (LoD2) 3D city model (both fully textured and untextured), a 3D mesh, a 3D tree cadastre, a high-resolution digital terrain model (DTM), as well as high-resolution true orthophotos and oblique aerial images, all accessible online. Access is barrier-free via common web browsers at 3d.darmstadt.de.\n\n\n\nIn the browser-based application, users can measure distances and areas, simulate shadows, analyze visibility, share custom views, and export screenshots as PDF files. An integrated address search makes navigation easier.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d supports urban planning, construction projects, and various municipal analyses. The model provides a foundation for simulations and assessments\u2014on topics such as urban development, climate risks, or infrastructure\u2014and offers planners, administrators, and the public precise insights into spatial relationships. \u201cAt the same time, it promotes transparency and citizen participation by presenting complex processes in a clear and comprehensible way,\u201d says Councillor Paul Georg Wandrey.\n\n\n\nOne initial application example is the heavy rainfall hazard map, developed on behalf of the Office for Climate Protection and Climate Adaptation and additionally available at 3d.darmstadt.de\/v\/Starkregen.\n\n\n\nIn the long term, \u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d will form the structural basis for an Urban Digital Twin (UDT), enabling the integration of diverse data sources\u2014such as climate events, mobility, or energy demand\u2014and making urban interrelationships visible. The UDT will thus support decision-making in administration and politics.\n\n\n\n\u201cWith \u2018Darmstadt 3D\u2019 we now have a modern, precise, and highly detailed tool that allows us to experience our city from a completely new perspective. This model demonstrates the potential that digital technologies offer for innovative urban development. This further step towards an Urban Digital Twin is an important milestone for Darmstadt. It enables us to plan more accurately, better respond to future hazard situations, and make our city an even more livable place for its residents,\u201d Wandrey says.<\/div><\/article><\/figure>The municipality of Langenberg relies on PlexMap Immo<\/h2><\/div><\/div>In October 2024, pro Wirtschaft GT GmbH launched PlexMap Immo, a central portal for marketing commercial properties and real estate, supporting entrepreneurs in their search for locations in the G\u00fctersloh district.

The new cadastre offers citizens an easy way to get an initial assessment of the potential of their own property. With the new geothermal function for geothermal probes and collectors, this technology can also be better evaluated for sustainable energy supply,\u201d explains Matthias Wenholt, First District Councilor. After an initial orientation, further tests, such as the load-bearing capacity of the roof, would then have to be carried out in collaboration with specialist companies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany rooftops in the Wesermarsch district remain unused so far. Yet, they offer enormous potential for energy generation and climate adaptation. With the new cadastre, anyone can now quickly and easily check how the roof area of their property can be used in an economically and ecologically sensible way. The solar cadastre provides detailed information on the suitability of roof surfaces for photovoltaic systems. In addition to the potential electricity yield, it also calculates profitability \u2013 optionally taking into account a power storage unit, an electric vehicle, or a heat pump. The tool also evaluates the potential use for solar thermal energy, i.e., solar water heating to support space heating.\n\n\n\nA particular highlight of the solar cadastre is the new function that shows the suitability for near-surface geothermal energy. When selecting a heat pump, various options (ground, water, or air-source heat pumps) are displayed. This makes it possible to plan customized concepts for renewable energy supply even more precisely.\n\n\n\nIn parallel, the green roof cadastre offers another tool that clearly calculates the benefits and costs of green roofing for individual properties. \u201cA green roof helps improve the urban climate, enhances air quality, and binds CO\u2082. Moreover, in the event of heavy rainfall, it can temporarily store water, thereby relieving stormwater drainage systems. Overall, it makes an important contribution to climate adaptation,\u201d concludes Wenholt.\n\n\n\nQuestions about the solar and green roof cadastre, as well as about energy and climate issues in the district, can be addressed via email at klimaschutz@wesermarsch.de or by phone at 04401 927-632.

The new cadastre offers citizens an easy way to get an initial assessment of the potential of their own property. With the new geothermal function for geothermal probes and collectors, this technology can also be better evaluated for sustainable energy supply,\u201d explains Matthias Wenholt, First District Councilor. After an initial orientation, further tests, such as the load-bearing capacity of the roof, would then have to be carried out in collaboration with specialist companies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany rooftops in the Wesermarsch district remain unused so far. Yet, they offer enormous potential for energy generation and climate adaptation. With the new cadastre, anyone can now quickly and easily check how the roof area of their property can be used in an economically and ecologically sensible way. The solar cadastre provides detailed information on the suitability of roof surfaces for photovoltaic systems. In addition to the potential electricity yield, it also calculates profitability \u2013 optionally taking into account a power storage unit, an electric vehicle, or a heat pump. The tool also evaluates the potential use for solar thermal energy, i.e., solar water heating to support space heating.\n\n\n\nA particular highlight of the solar cadastre is the new function that shows the suitability for near-surface geothermal energy. When selecting a heat pump, various options (ground, water, or air-source heat pumps) are displayed. This makes it possible to plan customized concepts for renewable energy supply even more precisely.\n\n\n\nIn parallel, the green roof cadastre offers another tool that clearly calculates the benefits and costs of green roofing for individual properties. \u201cA green roof helps improve the urban climate, enhances air quality, and binds CO\u2082. Moreover, in the event of heavy rainfall, it can temporarily store water, thereby relieving stormwater drainage systems. Overall, it makes an important contribution to climate adaptation,\u201d concludes Wenholt.\n\n\n\nQuestions about the solar and green roof cadastre, as well as about energy and climate issues in the district, can be addressed via email at klimaschutz@wesermarsch.de or by phone at 04401 927-632.

To flesh out the project idea, an inter-municipal working group was formed, comprising representatives of the member cities, the geoinformation services of the OWL districts, and scientific partners. Three central guiding principles have emerged to flesh out the project idea. 3D city models are:\n\n\n\n\na learning, sustainable instrument for integrated, inventory-oriented urban development in historic centers,\n\n\n\nan instrument for promoting professional exchange at the regional group and working group level, at the district and regional level, and\n\n\n\nan offering for external platforms to connect data.\n\n\n\n\nSix historic city and town centers in OWL are being modeled in high-performance 3D representations, and the foundations for technical applications in urban planning, construction, and city marketing are being tested. Based on a modular principle, these applications will be made available to other municipalities as optimized and transferable application modules. In addition, they will be effective at the working group level in organizing and promoting the well-known and established exchange between member cities. The 3D models are intended to serve as a regional platform for displaying a wide range of data and information collected regionally in the areas of culture and tourism.\n\n\n\nThe project will run in the innovation phase until the end of 2026.

As part of the funded project, the historic town centers of Brakel, Detmold, Lemgo, Minden, Rheda-Wiedenbr\u00fcck, and Rietberg will first be captured as high-quality 3D city models. Geoplex will then develop an application-oriented application for each municipality and introduce it together with local stakeholders on site.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe core idea is to use digital technology to map urban development and city marketing, bring historic city centers and town centers to life virtually, involve the urban community, and promote intermunicipal cooperation. To flesh out the project idea, an inter-municipal working group was formed, comprising representatives of the member cities, the geoinformation services of the OWL districts, and scientific partners. Three central guiding principles have emerged to flesh out the project idea. 3D city models are:\n\n\n\n\na learning, sustainable instrument for integrated, inventory-oriented urban development in historic centers,\n\n\n\nan instrument for promoting professional exchange at the regional group and working group level, at the district and regional level, and\n\n\n\nan offering for external platforms to connect data.\n\n\n\n\nSix historic city and town centers in OWL are being modeled in high-performance 3D representations, and the foundations for technical applications in urban planning, construction, and city marketing are being tested. Based on a modular principle, these applications will be made available to other municipalities as optimized and transferable application modules. In addition, they will be effective at the working group level in organizing and promoting the well-known and established exchange between member cities. The 3D models are intended to serve as a regional platform for displaying a wide range of data and information collected regionally in the areas of culture and tourism.\n\n\n\nThe project will run in the innovation phase until the end of 2026.

Based on an aerial survey conducted in March 2025 and laser-scan data from 2019, the Surveying Office of the City of Darmstadt has published a highly accurate 3D city model using PlexMap 3D.\n\n\n\n\u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d depicts the entire city area in great detail. The available data includes a Level of Detail 2 (LoD2) 3D city model (both fully textured and untextured), a 3D mesh, a 3D tree cadastre, a high-resolution digital terrain model (DTM), as well as high-resolution true orthophotos and oblique aerial images, all accessible online. Access is barrier-free via common web browsers at 3d.darmstadt.de.\n\n\n\nIn the browser-based application, users can measure distances and areas, simulate shadows, analyze visibility, share custom views, and export screenshots as PDF files. An integrated address search makes navigation easier.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d supports urban planning, construction projects, and various municipal analyses. The model provides a foundation for simulations and assessments\u2014on topics such as urban development, climate risks, or infrastructure\u2014and offers planners, administrators, and the public precise insights into spatial relationships. \u201cAt the same time, it promotes transparency and citizen participation by presenting complex processes in a clear and comprehensible way,\u201d says Councillor Paul Georg Wandrey.\n\n\n\nOne initial application example is the heavy rainfall hazard map, developed on behalf of the Office for Climate Protection and Climate Adaptation and additionally available at 3d.darmstadt.de\/v\/Starkregen.\n\n\n\nIn the long term, \u201cDarmstadt 3D\u201d will form the structural basis for an Urban Digital Twin (UDT), enabling the integration of diverse data sources\u2014such as climate events, mobility, or energy demand\u2014and making urban interrelationships visible. The UDT will thus support decision-making in administration and politics.\n\n\n\n\u201cWith \u2018Darmstadt 3D\u2019 we now have a modern, precise, and highly detailed tool that allows us to experience our city from a completely new perspective. This model demonstrates the potential that digital technologies offer for innovative urban development. This further step towards an Urban Digital Twin is an important milestone for Darmstadt. It enables us to plan more accurately, better respond to future hazard situations, and make our city an even more livable place for its residents,\u201d Wandrey says.<\/div><\/article><\/figure>The municipality of Langenberg relies on PlexMap Immo<\/h2><\/div>

The new cadastre offers citizens an easy way to get an initial assessment of the potential of their own property. With the new geothermal function for geothermal probes and collectors, this technology can also be better evaluated for sustainable energy supply,\u201d explains Matthias Wenholt, First District Councilor. After an initial orientation, further tests, such as the load-bearing capacity of the roof, would then have to be carried out in collaboration with specialist companies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany rooftops in the Wesermarsch district remain unused so far. Yet, they offer enormous potential for energy generation and climate adaptation. With the new cadastre, anyone can now quickly and easily check how the roof area of their property can be used in an economically and ecologically sensible way. The solar cadastre provides detailed information on the suitability of roof surfaces for photovoltaic systems. In addition to the potential electricity yield, it also calculates profitability \u2013 optionally taking into account a power storage unit, an electric vehicle, or a heat pump. The tool also evaluates the potential use for solar thermal energy, i.e., solar water heating to support space heating.\n\n\n\nA particular highlight of the solar cadastre is the new function that shows the suitability for near-surface geothermal energy. When selecting a heat pump, various options (ground, water, or air-source heat pumps) are displayed. This makes it possible to plan customized concepts for renewable energy supply even more precisely.\n\n\n\nIn parallel, the green roof cadastre offers another tool that clearly calculates the benefits and costs of green roofing for individual properties. \u201cA green roof helps improve the urban climate, enhances air quality, and binds CO\u2082. Moreover, in the event of heavy rainfall, it can temporarily store water, thereby relieving stormwater drainage systems. Overall, it makes an important contribution to climate adaptation,\u201d concludes Wenholt.\n\n\n\nQuestions about the solar and green roof cadastre, as well as about energy and climate issues in the district, can be addressed via email at klimaschutz@wesermarsch.de or by phone at 04401 927-632.

In addition to the potential electricity yield, it also calculates profitability \u2013 optionally taking into account a power storage unit, an electric vehicle, or a heat pump. The tool also evaluates the potential use for solar thermal energy, i.e., solar water heating to support space heating.\n\n\n\nA particular highlight of the solar cadastre is the new function that shows the suitability for near-surface geothermal energy. When selecting a heat pump, various options (ground, water, or air-source heat pumps) are displayed. This makes it possible to plan customized concepts for renewable energy supply even more precisely.\n\n\n\nIn parallel, the green roof cadastre offers another tool that clearly calculates the benefits and costs of green roofing for individual properties. \u201cA green roof helps improve the urban climate, enhances air quality, and binds CO\u2082.

To flesh out the project idea, an inter-municipal working group was formed, comprising representatives of the member cities, the geoinformation services of the OWL districts, and scientific partners. Three central guiding principles have emerged to flesh out the project idea. 3D city models are:\n\n\n\n\na learning, sustainable instrument for integrated, inventory-oriented urban development in historic centers,\n\n\n\nan instrument for promoting professional exchange at the regional group and working group level, at the district and regional level, and\n\n\n\nan offering for external platforms to connect data.\n\n\n\n\nSix historic city and town centers in OWL are being modeled in high-performance 3D representations, and the foundations for technical applications in urban planning, construction, and city marketing are being tested. Based on a modular principle, these applications will be made available to other municipalities as optimized and transferable application modules. In addition, they will be effective at the working group level in organizing and promoting the well-known and established exchange between member cities.

The new cadastre offers citizens an easy way to get an initial assessment of the potential of their own property. With the new geothermal function for geothermal probes and collectors, this technology can also be better evaluated for sustainable energy supply,\u201d explains Matthias Wenholt, First District Councilor. After an initial orientation, further tests, such as the load-bearing capacity of the roof, would then have to be carried out in collaboration with specialist companies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany rooftops in the Wesermarsch district remain unused so far. Yet, they offer enormous potential for energy generation and climate adaptation. With the new cadastre, anyone can now quickly and easily check how the roof area of their property can be used in an economically and ecologically sensible way. The solar cadastre provides detailed information on the suitability of roof surfaces for photovoltaic systems. In addition to the potential electricity yield, it also calculates profitability \u2013 optionally taking into account a power storage unit, an electric vehicle, or a heat pump. The tool also evaluates the potential use for solar thermal energy, i.e., solar water heating to support space heating.\n\n\n\nA particular highlight of the solar cadastre is the new function that shows the suitability for near-surface geothermal energy. When selecting a heat pump, various options (ground, water, or air-source heat pumps) are displayed. This makes it possible to plan customized concepts for renewable energy supply even more precisely.\n\n\n\nIn parallel, the green roof cadastre offers another tool that clearly calculates the benefits and costs of green roofing for individual properties. \u201cA green roof helps improve the urban climate, enhances air quality, and binds CO\u2082.

Three central guiding principles have emerged to flesh out the project idea. 3D city models are:\n\n\n\n\na learning, sustainable instrument for integrated, inventory-oriented urban development in historic centers,\n\n\n\nan instrument for promoting professional exchange at the regional group and working group level, at the district and regional level, and\n\n\n\nan offering for external platforms to connect data.\n\n\n\n\nSix historic city and town centers in OWL are being modeled in high-performance 3D representations, and the foundations for technical applications in urban planning, construction, and city marketing are being tested.

In addition, they will be effective at the working group level in organizing and promoting the well-known and established exchange between member cities.

Landshut is an independent city in southeastern Bavaria and the seat of the government of Lower Bavaria as well as the administrative center of the district of Landshut. With around 72,000 inhabitants, Landshut is the largest city in Lower Bavaria ahead of Passau and the second largest city in Eastern Bavaria after Regensburg.

With 128,246 inhabitants, W\u00fcrzburg is the third largest city in Franconia after Nuremberg and F\u00fcrth, and the seventh largest city in Bavaria. In addition, since 2018, the city has been one of the three newly created regional centers of the Free State of Bavaria. W\u00fcrzburg is known for its Baroque and Rococo-style buildings, especially the 18th-century W\u00fcrzburg Residence.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe city of W\u00fcrzburg wants to establish a central data hub via PlexMap Magazine and PlexMap Switchboard and is also relying on PlexMap for its own CityGML data management. In addition, PlexMap 3D is used for viewing.
