Property - Apply for a boundary certificate (Grenzbescheinigung) for land parcels (Flurstücke)

Grundstück - Grenzbescheinigung für Flurstücke beantragen
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
A Grenzbescheinigung (boundary certificate) serves as proof of which Flurstücke (land parcels) certain buildings are erected on, and whether any boundary encroachments are present. With a Grenzbescheinigung • it is confirmed that specified buildings are indeed located on certain land parcels. • any encroachment onto neighbouring land parcels can also be documented in more detail. The Grenzbescheinigung is also called a Grenzattest, Grenzinnehaltungsbescheinigung, or Ausweis für den Bestand an Gebäuden (certificate of building stock). It is mainly required by lending institutions as proof when using land as collateral for loans, where evaluating the official Flurkarte (cadastral map) is not conclusive enough to assess the situation.
