This dataset provides geospatial boundary data for the buffer zone surrounding the Roman Limes, a UNESCO World Heritage site, in the German state of Hesse. It defines the protected environmental zone established to preserve the Limes as a landscape-shaping historical feature, safeguarding its surroundings from developments that could impair its visual and ecological setting. The data is published by Land Hessen and can be used for spatial planning, heritage conservation, and environmental protection purposes in areas adjacent to the ancient frontier structure.Umgebungsschutz für den Limes als landschaftsprägendes Element
