<dct:description><p>Urban areas have a manifold and far-reaching impact on our environment, and the three-dimensional structure is a key aspect for characterizing the urban environment.&nbsp;</p> <p>This dataset features a map of building height predictions for entire Germany on a 10m grid based on Sentinel-1A/B and Sentinel-2A/B time series. We utilized machine learning regression to extrapolate building height reference information to the entire country. The reference data were obtained from several freely and openly available 3D Building Models originating from official data sources (building footprint: cadaster, building height: airborne laser scanning), and represent the average building height within a radius of 50m relative to each pixel. Building height was only estimated for built-up areas (European Settlement Mask), and building height predictions &lt;2m were set to 0m.</p> <p><strong>Temporal extent</strong><br> The acquisition dates of the different data sources vary to some degree:<br> - Independent variables: Sentinel-2 data are from 2018; Sentinel-1 data are from 2017.<br> - Dependent variables: the 3D building models are from 2012-2020 depending on data provider.<br> - Settlement mask: the ESM is based on a mosaic of imagery from 2014-2016.<br> Considering that net change of building stock is positive in Germany, the building height map is representative for ca. 2015.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Data format</strong><br> The data come in tiles of 30x30km (see shapefile). The projection is EPSG:3035. The images are compressed GeoTiff files (*.tif). Metadata are located within the Tiff, partly in the FORCE domain. There is a mosaic in GDAL Virtual format (*.vrt), which can readily be opened in most Geographic Information Systems. Building height values are in meters, scaled by 10, i.e. a pixel value of 69 = 6.9m.</p> <p><strong>Further information</strong><br> For further information, please see the publication or contact David Frantz (david.frantz@geo.hu-berlin.de).<br> A web-visualization of this dataset is available <a href="https://ows.geo.hu-berlin.de/webviewer/building-height/">here</a>.</p> <p><strong>Publication</strong><br> Frantz, D., Schug, F., Okujeni, A., Navacchi, C., Wagner, W., van der Linden, S., &amp; Hostert, P.
