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.

The polygons were extracted from OpenStreetMap (OpenStreetMap contributors, 2022). Only the geometries were used.

The damage grades assessment to each building followed the classification scheme by Maiwald & Schwarz (2019) and was accomplished by visual assessment.
