Gemarkung Explained

A Gemarkung (also Markung, in Switzerland also Gemarchen) is the entirety of all land plots of a specific municipality, or a specific large part of a municipality, recorded in the cadastre in the countries of Germany and Switzerland (For an equivalent concept in Austria and adjacent countries see Katastralgemeinde).

Gemarkung may be variously translated into English as: district,^[1] cadastral district,^{[2] [3]} local subdistrict,^[4] cadastral area,^[5] tithing,^[6] township,^[6] parish,^[7] section of a community area^[8]

Gemarkung registers record the parcels' location, usage and geomorphology and the like qualities, however, the rights to the land (as property, or collateral liened by a mortgage) are kept in the Grundbuch (land register). A Gemarkung is made up of a number of, usually contiguous, plots of land/parcels (Flurstücke). In many cases, several "Flurstücke" are grouped together to form a Flur, usually a tract of open land or forest. In sum, the sequence of the three subdivisions is: Gemarkung - Flur - Flurstück.
