Real estate cadastre information - Obtain official boundary information

If you do not know the course of your parcel boundary or you can no longer find your boundary markers (e.g. boundary stones) in the locality, you can apply for official boundary information under certain conditions.

Official boundary information" is information from the real estate register that is provided on site. Existing boundary markers that were not visible, for example, are uncovered and displayed or boundary points are marked temporarily, e.g. with wooden stakes. Official boundary markers are not reset: no administrative procedure takes place and your border neighbors are not involved.

Official boundary information can only be provided for you where the boundary points concerned have already been determined with high precision and reliability in the past. The surveying office checks whether this requirement is met. If this is not the case, the course of the boundary can only be determined and formally established by means of an official administrative procedure - the boundary determination.

Responsibility for the official boundary information lies with the locally responsible land registry office of the State Office for Geoinformation and Land Surveying of Lower Saxony (LGLN)

or

Publicly appointed surveying engineer (ÖbVI).

You can submit an application for official boundary information if you are

• the owner of the property,
• a person entitled to hereditary building rights or
• are authorized by one of the aforementioned persons.

Furthermore, official boundary information can only be issued if either boundary markers have already been recorded in the real estate register and are of a certain quality or if the boundary points were created by surveying after 1986 and have been formally established by a surveying office. This technical examination is carried out by the surveying office.

As the official boundary information does not interfere with the rights of the parties involved, no legal remedies are possible here.

An appeal can be lodged with the competent administrative court.

You can obtain the official boundary information

• in writing or

The application must contain the specific boundary points concerned
