Welcome to the DVW! We’re the largest association of professional surveyors in Germany. We represent our profession in the sciences, in research and in surveying practice. We promote best practice amongst our members and offer them a nationwide network. And we organise the world’s no. 1 event for the geospatial community: the annual INTERGEO international trade fair for geodesy, geoinformation and land management.

About us

Founded in 1871 as a technical-scientific association, our goal then was “to promote surveying by sharing scientific knowledge and practical experience”. Nowadays we are active in a lot more areas – and we have grown into the Society for Geodesy, Geoinformation and Land Management. We offer great services to our members: We represent their interests, we provide professional guidance, best practice and keep them up to date on the latest developments.

The DVW is a member of FIG, the International Federation of Surveyors. It comprises 13 registered DVW federal chapters currently counting approximately 7,000 members. Furthermore, we have strong collaborations with related societies such as the Association of Publicly Appointed Surveyors BDVI e.V., the Association of German Surveyors VDV e.V. as well as the German Cartographic Society e.V..
