Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
Official height reference points (Nivellementpunkte / levelling points) are permanent survey markers distributed across the State of Berlin, mostly fixed to buildings. They form a uniform height reference system and serve as the basis for further surveys, for example for housing and road construction. An overview of the height reference points is available in the Geoportal Berlin (more under "Further information"). Process • Submit an application for the creation of extracts from the Lage- und Höhenfestpunktfeld (register of position and height reference points). You can submit the application online. • The responsible Vermessungsamt (surveying office) will then provide you with information on height reference points in writing by email. • You will receive the Gebührenbescheid (fee notice) by post. • Alternatively, free online information is available via the "Geobasisdaten Online" portal (usable only with a personal access account).
