Lorch lies at 50.0749° north, 7.8627° east in Germany.
The nearest city in this archive is Sauerthal, roughly 6 km away; Germany covers 10751 places in total.
Soil was measured at the centre of Lorch itself. The settlement falls outside the urban centre database, so no population time series is available. Measured elevation is 194 m and annual irradiation 1134 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 middle elevation band · in the steepest fifth · below median irradiation · in the driest fifth · among the most clay-rich soils.
