Abstract: The present invention relates to a crane, in particular in the form of a rotating tower crane, having a crane jib, from which a hoist rope connected to a load handling means runs, a load position sensor system for sensing the position of the load handling means and/or of a load fastened thereto, a surroundings sensor system for collecting surroundings data to establish a surroundings model, and a crane controller for controlling hoist rope and/or crane movements on the basis of the sensed position of the load handling means and/or of the load fastened thereto and on the basis of the established surroundings model. According to the invention, the surroundings sensor system has an imaging sensor system for providing three-dimensional real-time surroundings data and a geo-referencing device for geo-referencing the 3D real-time surroundings data and establishing a geo-referenced 3D surroundings model.
