Zensus The Census-Atlas

The Census-Atlas, an interactive mapping application, provides first results for the population, buildings and dwellings and offers small-area data on a grid-cell basis, also across the boundaries of municipalities.

First census results for Germany as a whole are presented spatially in the Census-Atlas as thematic maps, independent of administrative boundaries. At the start of the release phase on 25 June 2024, four such maps are being made available, visualising data on the population, type of heating in a building, energy source used for heating, and net rent exclusive of heating expenses per square metre. More results will be rolled out subsequently on a gradual basis.

The underlying data from the 2022 Census are available to you as high-resolution, geo-referenced results in 10km, 1km and 100m grid cells; they are provided as ZIP files for download. This also allows the census results to be processed independently of administrative regional units. The data are available in INSPIRE-compliant format. Confidentiality of the 2022 Census results is ensured at all grid cell levels.

Grid data for download for geographical information systems (GIS)

Here you can find the data of all maps shown in the Census-Atlas, which may be freely used as open data (provided that the source is cited). Each ZIP file contains the data on the particular topic for the 10km, 1km and 100m grids as CSV files and a detailed dataset description in EXCEL format. Users can also access the dataset description separately to learn more about the grid data before performing the download (in German).

Due to their size, the data for 100m grid cells, in particular, cannot be opened with spreadsheet applications such as EXCEL. For analysis purposes, they are therefore generally processed using GIS tools.
