A portolan/stac catalog of every known available non-AI generated field boundary.
This dataset contains the field blocks ("Feldstücke") of Bavaria, the reference parcels of its Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS). A Feldstück is a contiguous agricultural area belonging to a single farm operator; areas separated by roads, tracks or watercourses are not combined, and differing tenure, use or fertiliser planning do not split one. Delineation follows the area eligible for support, which comprises agricultural area, agriculturally usable area and eligible landscape elements. The data is published in the "IACS in INSPIRE" (TG2) data model and republished twice a year for the application procedure.
Browse this collection in the data browser, or start from the AGENTS.md for tested queries.
The latest edition is also available at a stable path: de_by_block/latest/de_by_block.parquet. All editions together through the S3 glob s3://ftw/harmonized-field-data/de_by_block/year=*/*.parquet (see the AGENTS.md for the DuckDB setup; plain https cannot expand *).
Properties that are the same for every field are stored once, in the GeoParquet file's collection metadata rather than as columns (latest edition shown; a client reading only the table will not see them):

This catalog is a mirror: the data is produced and licensed by Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Ernährung, Landwirtschaft, Forsten und Tourismus and republished here as cloud-native GeoParquet and PMTiles by Fields of the World. Each edition was downloaded from the source and converted with fiboa-cli 0.21.0, vecorel-cli 0.2.18:
The conversion is deterministic and lives in fiboa-cli; changes to how a column is mapped are made there, not in this catalog.

geometry | binary | A geometry that reflects the footprint of the field, usually a Polygon. Stored in the source CRS (see proj:code), not reprojected. (spec) |
metrics:area | float | Area of the field, in square meters (m²). Must be > 0 and <= 1,000,000,000. (spec) |
bbox | struct<xmin: double, ymin: double, xmax: double, ymax: double> | The bounding box of the field. Per-feature covering column (GeoParquet 1.1), in the source CRS. (spec) |
