German Borehole Locations

The German Borehole Locations (GBL) provides access to borehole data in the Federal Republic of Germany provided by the Geological State Organisations (GSO). In Germany, the GSO are responsible for the storage, processing and release of information on boreholes. Within the framework of a joint project, the drilling data are compiled centrally at BGR in a generalized form using the BoreholeML exchange format. The spatial data set contains the transmitted header information of the boreholes from the participating federal states in BoreholeML coding. This coding can be resolved into plain text via the supplied Data Specification -codeLists-. The same information is also available in the Borehole Map Germany https://boreholemap.bgr.de/ on the tab “Header Information” for each drilling.
