In QGIS I created a "grid" with points 100 m apart from each other. Below this layer of points there are multiple layers of polygons. Each polygon has a column with values in its attribute table. Is there a way to transfer the colum of each polygon into an attribute table of a point lying above the polygons?

In other words: Can a point "scan" the polygons that lie below and thus "read" and save the attributes they provide?

    Answer: Depends on the software you're working with.

    Yes, this can work, but if the centroid isn't within the largest polygon in the area, it won't get the "right" value, and if it's on a boundary you might get the last matched row (or no matches, depending of software and query)

One Join attributes by location for each polygon layer using the output of each as input to the next. Either manually or using a model:
