AFIS - Altitude Fixed Points (NivP - Levelling Points)
Levelling points are fixed height points that realize the geodetic spatial reference of the height and are stored in the official height system DHHN2016. The fixed-altitude point field is hierarchically divided into levelling nets from the 1st to the 4th. Order up. The respective height fixed points are permanently marketed in the locality and their height is determined very precisely by various measurement campaigns. The data is provided free of charge via automated procedures or by means of self-extraction. When using the data, the license conditions must be observed.
