AFIS - Altitude Fixed Points (NivP - Levelling Points)
This dataset provides levelling points (NivP), the fixed height points that establish the geodetic height reference within the official height system DHHN2016. The network of these fixed points is organized hierarchically into levelling nets from 1st to 4th order. Each point is permanently marked in the field, with its height determined through precise repeated measurement campaigns. Maintained by the Landesvermessung und Geobasisinformation Brandenburg (LGB), the data is made available free of charge for automated retrieval or manual download, subject to applicable licence conditions. It serves as a reference layer for geodetic surveying and height determination in Brandenburg.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.

Data access
Serves rendered map images, not a downloadable table — so there is no tabular schema. The service's GetCapabilities document lists the available map layers.
