Landesvermessungsamt Nordrhein-Westfalen, Defunct state survey office in Bad Godesberg, Germany

The Landesvermessungsamt Nordrhein-Westfalen operated as the state surveying authority for North Rhine-Westphalia, handling topographical mapping and geodetic reference points.

Following the post-war reorganization in 1949, the office emerged from two main surveying departments previously established in Münster and Cologne in 1938.

The institution maintained systematic documentation of landscape changes through aerial photography collections and detailed topographic maps of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The office produced topographic map series, digital surface models, and orthophotos until its dissolution and integration into Cologne's district government in 2008.

The geographical data collected by this institution between 1949 and 2008 forms the foundation for modern digital mapping services in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Inception: 1949

GPS coordinates: 50.67540,7.15862
