Tiling along the active floodplain of the River Rhine

This dataset contains 40 rectangular polygons / tiles along the active floodplain along the German, freeflowing parts of the River Rhine from the weir Iffezheim to the Dutch border near Kleve in the coordinate reference system ETRS 1989 UTM 32N.

The tiles represent the original tiling of the internally used digital elevation model (Weber 2020).
