Data contain the dominating soil type in a grid cell for Germany in ~1km horizontal resolution. The data are based on the country wide soil map (Bodenubersichtskarte - BUK) at a scale of 1:1000000 (BUK1000) published in 2007 by Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR), Hannover, but reclassified according to the State Soil Geographic (STATSGO) classification table of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model for NOAH and NOAH-MP Land Surface Models (LSMs).
