GovData is the open data portal for Germany, providing a unified catalog across the federal government, the 16 federal states, and many municipalities. It is structured to bring together Germany's decentralized public sector publishing into one place.

Geospatial content is well represented, from administrative boundaries and land use to environmental and statistical data, often licensed under the Datenlizenz Deutschland. For authoritative national base mapping at high precision, GovData is complemented by the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG).
