The nearest city in this archive is Hahnenbach, roughly 3 km away; Germany covers 10751 places in total.

Soil was measured at the centre of Bergen itself. The settlement falls outside the urban centre database, so no population time series is available. Measured elevation is 401 m and annual irradiation 1143 kWh/m². Earthquake exposure reads medium. 10 hazard categories have been assessed for this settlement.

Set against the 907 places in Germany with all these measurements, this one sits: in the highest fifth by elevation · in the middle slope band · below median irradiation · in the driest fifth · among the most clay-rich soils.
