Who is behind congrega?

congrega is built by a developer who is active in a congregation themselves. The platform is shaped from real, day-to-day use — in close exchange with the first congregations who put it to work.

Where is data stored?

It is your choice. With congrega Online, data lives on servers within the EU, GDPR-compliant and without tracking. With congrega Local, it lives on your own hardware on your premises — personal data then never leaves the building. Many congregations prefer exactly that.

Do I need technical know-how?

No. The platform runs in your browser — on a computer or on a phone. If you can write an email, you can use congrega.

What if the maps don’t fit my needs?

Every order starts with a free trial print. Nothing is charged until you’re happy with the result — otherwise there are no costs.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. Management is billed yearly and only renews if you want it to. You can request an export of your data at any time.

Does this work with OpenStreetMap data?

Yes. All maps are generated from current OpenStreetMap data — including street names, house numbers, and building outlines. Whenever the data changes, maps can be regenerated at any time.

How do I print the territory maps?

You receive a print-ready PDF at the correct scale. Print it yourself or order it from a print shop. Every order starts with a free trial print.

Which file formats can I import?

Existing territory data can be imported in KML, GeoJSON, CSV and other formats — typically from Google Earth, QGIS, spreadsheets, or exports from other tools.

Can we work entirely without the cloud and internet?

Yes. With congrega Local the whole territory management runs on your own hardware on your local network on-site. Day-to-day work needs no internet connection and no cloud service — personal data stays entirely with you.

What does the local edition with hardware and setup cost?

congrega Local is offered broken down by line item: license, updates and maintenance, preconfigured hardware, and on-site setup. Since hardware and effort vary per site, we prepare a custom quote — just drop us a short message.

Can we switch from Online to Local later?

Yes. Both editions use the same software, so switching is possible at any time. Existing data can be carried over, so you can move from the online solution to the local edition without losing anything (and vice versa).

How long does the creation take?

From uploading the outline to a finished PDF usually takes a few minutes. Very large territories can take a bit longer, but it all runs automatically in the background.

Do I need GIS skills?

No. A territory outline is enough — you can draw one in Google Earth (free) or import it from an existing file. congrega takes care of everything else.

How accurate are the house numbers?

House numbers come from OpenStreetMap and are very complete in most residential areas. Before printing, a preview shows you exactly what the result will look like.

Can I refresh maps later?

Yes. You can regenerate any territory map with one click from the latest OSM data — for example, when a new development goes up.

Create Territory Maps — Automated from OpenStreetMap

Print-ready maps for your territories, generated in minutes from current OpenStreetMap data.

With congrega you can create territory maps in just a few minutes — without GIS skills, without manual labelling, and without licensing fees for map data. Just provide the territory outline, and the rest happens automatically: OpenStreetMap data is clipped, street names and house numbers are placed, the layout is optimised for printing.

How the creation works

Upload the outline of a territory — as KML, GeoJSON, or any other supported format. congrega fetches current map data from OpenStreetMap, cleanly clips it at the territory boundary, and produces a high-resolution PDF at the correct scale. Street names, house numbers, and notable points are placed automatically.

What goes on each map

Every territory map shows the street network, street names, house numbers down to the building level, building outlines, key points of interest (schools, churches, public buildings), and district boundaries if defined. The layout is designed for practical use at the door — easy to read while standing, robust against rain.

Why OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data is freely usable, up to date, and very complete for most residential areas across Europe — especially for house numbers. When the map data changes, you can regenerate territory maps in congrega at any time. You are not tied to a single map data vendor.

What does a map cost

Territory map generation costs a one-time €20 per congregation — regardless of how many territories. A free trial print is included up front. Nothing is charged until you are happy with the result. Maps can be reprinted as often as you like and regenerated when OSM updates.
