abstract: "<p>The following vector layer (ESRI Shapefile) encompasses 19507 polygons (buildings) in the Ahr Valley, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, having as attribute the structural damage grades, collected in the aftermath of the extreme event of July 2021.</p><p>The polygons were extracted from OpenStreetMap (OpenStreetMap contributors, 2022). Only the geometries were used.</p><p>The damage grades assessment to each building followed the classification scheme by Maiwald & Schwarz (2019) and was accomplished by visual assessment.</p>"
