Abstract: | The Munich Near-IR Cluster Survey (MUNICS) is a wide-area, medium-deep, photometric survey selected in the K' band. The project's
main scientific aims are the identification of galaxy clusters up to redshifts of unity and the selection of a large sample
of field early-type galaxies up to z < 1.5 for evolutionary studies. We created a Large Scale Structure catalog, using a new structure finding technique specialized
for photometric datasets, that we developed on the basis of a friends-of-friends algorithm. We tested the plausibility of
the resulting galaxy group and cluster catalog with the help of Color-Magnitude Diagrams (CMD), as well as a likelihood- and
Voronoi-approach.
