We measured the bias and correlation factor of galaxies with respect to the dark matter using the aperture statistics including the aperture mass from weak gravitational lensing. The analysis was performed for three galaxy samples selected by R-band magnitudes; the median redshifts of the samples were $\ave{z}=0.34,0.49$ and 0.65, respectively. The brightest sample has the strongest peak in redshift and can therefore be most accurately represented by a single redshift. The data used is the GaBoDS, and the COMBO-17 survey for an accurate estimate of the redshift distribution of the galaxies. Assuming the currently favoured $\Lambda\rm CDM$ model as cosmology, we obtained values for the linear stochastic galaxy-dark matter bias on angular scales $1^\prime\le\theta\le20^\prime$. Averaging the measurements for the bias over the range $4^\prime\le \theta_{\rm ap}\le 18^\prime$, weighting with the cosmic variance error, yields $b=0.89(5), 0.79(5), 0.89(5)$, respectively ($1\sigma$). As for the correlation factor $r$ we see, as Hoekstra et al. (2002), a slight increase to $r=1$ in the last angular bin from an almost constant value on smaller scales; the weighted average here over the same range as before is $r=0.8(1), 0.8(1), 0.5(1)$, respectively (abridged).
