The article contains an analysis which allows selecting German federal states with the cadastre system functioning most similarly to the cadastre system in Poland. To achieve this goal the author presents the results of an evaluation of the status of the cadastre system in all sixteen federal states as well as Poland and a comparison of the functioning of the system in individual federal states and Poland. The evaluation and comparison have been conducted in seven predefined categories, on the basis of point weights. As the result of the research two metagroups of attributes have been defined: one comprising the categories in which it is hard to introduce quick changes (general data, organization of the cadastre system, contents of cadastre) and the other the categories in which it is easier to introduce changes (data quality, information flows, informatization level, cadastre usability). On this basis the so called »Best cadastre examples for Poland« have been identified, meaning federal states with relatively high evaluations of the cadastre systems and similar characteristic to the cadastre system in Poland. The identified states are North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony and Free State of Bavaria.
