Geodata of Aschaffenburg is now accessible for public viewing
The city of Aschaffenburg has recently unveiled a groundbreaking digital tool called ABGIS (Aschaffenburg Citizen GIS). This innovative digital city map, launched in 2025, is designed to provide citizens, residents, and visitors with a wealth of information for navigating and understanding the city better.
According to Mayor and Digital Officer, Eric Leiderer, the ABGIS is more than just a digital city map. It's a tool that integrates environmental and climate topics, such as drinking water protection areas, flood scenarios, and locations of municipal weather stations with live data. This makes it an invaluable resource for those living in or visiting Aschaffenburg.
The ABGIS is easily accessible and connects location-based data from various areas of life, offering a way to see at a glance where construction is currently taking place, as well as information for daily life such as playgrounds, disabled parking spaces, drinking fountains, glass recycling containers, dog waste bag dispensers, and public Wi-Fi hotspots.
For those planning travel routes in the city, the ABGIS can help make this process more efficient due to ongoing construction. Furthermore, the tool offers real-time information on available disabled parking spaces and bus parking spaces for tourism.
The ABGIS is part of Aschaffenburg's digital strategy "Dialog City," demonstrating how digital applications can enhance the quality of life. It is based on an open-source solution developed by the city of Hamburg, ensuring digital independence and potential for further development.
Open interfaces in the ABGIS allow the city to integrate data provided by the state of Bavaria and make its own data available for research, education, or innovative apps. The tool also includes a 3D view of buildings with simulated shadows, beneficial for urban planners and homeowners.
Visitors to the ABGIS can discover new topics, ranging from city tours and sights to education and health to sustainability and religious communities. The ABGIS is a useful tool for everyone in Aschaffenburg, making daily life easier and more efficient.
In the words of Mayor and Digital Officer Eric Leiderer, the ABGIS is not just for data collection, but for making data visible, usable, and combinable for more transparency, participation, and service in daily life. It's a tool that Aschaffenburg residents and visitors will find indispensable in navigating and understanding the city.
