The General Geological Map of the Federal Republic of Germany 1:200,000 (GÜK200)
| The General Geological Map of the Federal Republic of Germany 1:200,000 (GÜK200) is the result of cooperation between the State Geological Surveys of the Federal Republic of Germany (SGD), the Geological Surveys of neighbouring countries and the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR). The map series GÜK200 displays the surface geology of Germany and adjacent areas of neighbouring countries on 55 map sheets. The map sheets show the regional dissemination of more than 3800 geological units. The geological units contain information on stratigraphy (age), genesis and petrography (composition) of the rocks. Each map sheet contains one or several geological cross-sections which give an insight into the subsurface. By clicking “GÜK200 sheet format” (see figure at the bottom) you will get to the map sheet index and the detailed descriptions (in German) of the single map sheets. | |
