Property - apply for tracing of the development history of the Flurstück (land parcel)
Grundstück - Rückverfolgung der Flurstücksentwicklung beantragen
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
A property (Grundstück) can consist of one or more Flurstücke (land parcels). A trace-back (Rückverfolgung) is used to prove which currently existing parcel or parcels are identical to a parcel that existed previously, or which parts of currently existing parcels correspond to the historical parcel.
Various documents can be provided to present the results, for example
• the registered outline of the boundary course of old parcels in current Flurkarten (cadastral maps)
• or copies of historical Flurkarten (if available) from which the old parcel boundaries can be identified.
• As a rule, a tabular listing of the parcel's development is created, with extinction dates, similar to a family tree.
