What this does not say

Quoted verbatim from the section’s warnings field, exactly as the API returns it. They are not translated: a translation would show something other than what your response actually contains.

  • Cached internal-use data. A working live Matrikkel connection is not implied.
  • Owner data and raw source payloads are excluded; inferred/backfilled area values are not official registered area. building_year (where a section derives it) is the year of the earliest status Matrikkelen recorded for the building, usually the permit; a house was often taken into use the year after.

Fields

14 of 18 fields are value fields — the ones that decide whether a record actually says anything. The rest are context: identifiers, codes and timestamps.

Why it cannot be tried here

This section is not part of the public demo projection. That is a licensing and privacy decision, not a sign the data is missing: it is served to customers granted the section.
