The data was collected and processed by the geological services of the federal states.

The standardization of the data, creation of the nationwide map, and technical implementation in GeotIS were carried out by the following institutions: ¹, ²geoENERGIE-Konzept GmbH, ³LIAG, ⁴Saxon State Office for the Environment, Agriculture and Geology, Department 104 Raw Material Geology, ⁵State Office for Geology and Mining Saxony-Anhalt, Department of Hydrogeology

The original open-source resources and data used for the creation of this map are located on the Geoportals of the respective states (see table).
