Data

Berlin: LoD2 3D building models from Geoportal Berlin; where LoD2 is missing or implausible, the ALKIS height or storeys × 3.2 m (estimated). Cologne: LoD2 3D building model from Geobasis NRW. Stuttgart and Karlsruhe: LoD2 3D building models from the LGL.

The terrain comes from DGM1, averaged to 5 m. Gaps are filled with Copernicus DEM GLO-30.

Limitations

• Building heights and terrain do not necessarily come from the same survey year
• The model does not contain complete roof shapes
• Missing or demolished buildings can change the result
