The Bavarian Administrative Atlas contains cartographically prepared information on the location and spatial area of responsibility of (selected) state agencies, municipal corporations and other institutions. Contact data as well as links to the legal basis and information in the BayernPortal can also be accessed.
The maps and other information can be accessed as a presentation service. With the help of standardized presentation services (e.g. Web Map Service = WMS), it is possible to easily use and combine spatial data (e.g. maps, aerial photographs, etc.) via the Internet. The content can not only be displayed in the Geoportal Bayern but can also be integrated into so-called geoinformation systems or online map viewers. There is usually a layer for the area of responsibility (area), the place of service (location) and for the textual description (text).
In the Geoportal Bayern, the following services can be called up, which provide spatial information regarding location and area of responsibility for the respective area:
- local authorities in Bavaria and the Free State of Bavaria
- public institutions in the area of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior, for Sports and Integration
- public institutions in the area of the Bavarian State Ministry of Justice
- public institutions in the area of the Bavarian State Ministry of Finance and Home Affairs
- Public institutions in the area of the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy
- Public institutions in the area of the Bavarian State Ministry for the Environment and Consumer Protection
- Public institutions in the area of the Bavarian State Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Forestry
- Public institutions in the area of the Bavarian State Ministry for Family, Labor and Social Affairs
- other institutions in Bavaria
The information presented in the services (e.g. contact data, areas of responsibility, links) is provided by the editorial system for administrative information in Bavaria and updated weekly. The representation of the areas of responsibility is based on the geometries of the ATKIS Basis-DLM of the Bavarian Surveying Administration. Currently, only spatial information that can be mapped on the basis of municipal boundaries can be displayed.
Note: After calling up a service in the Bavarian Geoportal, other layers or information on other departments/institutions can be selected via the "Geodata services" menu.
